'Iron Man 4' Release Date, News & Update: Superhero Will Face Two Villains; Film Not Ready This Year

The upcoming film "Iron Man 4" has been one of the favorite topics online. The fourth installment of Tony Stark's adventure has not been confirmed and there are rumors that Robert Downey Jr. is done with "Iron Man," which leave fans disappointed until the versatile actor expressed his interest to play one more "Iron Man" film. Although "Iron Man 4's" future is brighter this time, fans can't expect it this year.

No 'Iron Man 4' This Year

In an interview with Nightline, the highest paid actor, Robert Downey Jr. expressed his interest to do another "Iron Man" solo film. This gave fans hope that "Iron Man 4" is possible. In fact, Parent Herald reported that the actor wanted Mel Gibson to helm the film, suggesting that "Iron Man 4" is in consideration or maybe is in progress already.

However, per Ecumenical News, it is unlikely for "Iron Man 4" film to come out this year. We agree that it is impossible to expect the film this year, given that Iron Man just appeared in "Captain America: Civil War" and will be busy with "Sherlock Holmes 3" at the end of the year.

'Iron Man 4' To Feature Two Villains

The report added that Iron Man might face two villains in "Iron Man 4." These include Fin Fang Foom and Spider-Man. Fin Fang Foom is a dragon-like extraterrestrial creature and is one of Iron Man's nemesis.

As for his feud with Spider-Man, it is difficult to tell. There might be a little fight, but it is unlikely to be the plot. There are rumors that Tony Stark will also appear in "Spider-Man's" solo film starring Tom Holland. He will be the new mentor of the teenage superhero. Thus, it is impossible for the two to keep bad blood against each other.

Meanwhile, Parent Herald previously reported that "Iron Man 4" might feature Tony Stark's face to face battle with the Ten Rings and the Real Mandarin. The group is behind Tony Stark's kidnapping at the original "Iron Man" movie and fans are still hoping that this plot will finally be closed, especially if "Iron Man 4" will be Robert Downey Jr.'s last.
