The Daily Beast recently conducted an interview with writer and director Joss Whedon and one topic that came out of the interview was what will Whedon do without Robert Downey Jr. for The Avengers 2? Technically, Downey Jr. is not signed yet and how crucial is he to the franchise?
He is Iron Man. He is Iron Man in the way that Sean Connery was James Bond. I have no intention of making Avengers 2 without him, nor do I think I’ll be called upon to do that. I don’t think it’s in my interest, Marvel’s interest, or his interest, and I think everything will be fine. But I know that this is Hollywood and you roll with things. You have to be ready for the unexpected. But I loved working with Robert, and everybody knows he embodied that role in a way no one else can. The day he was cast, I went up to [Marvel Studios president] Kevin Feige and said, “You brilliant son of a bitch.”
