Robert Downey Jr. to star in Captain America 3

The new movie that is slated to come soon, titled Captain America 3, will include the actor Robert Downey Jr. among its cast members.

Robert Downey Jr. is about to sign on the dotted line as far as working in Captain America 3 is concerned. The Civil War theme is being brought to celluloid “reel” life by Marvel Studios. 

Downey will act as a self-made billionaire in the script. This third version will begin shooting in spring of this year. And it will be coming to theaters within two years’ time. 

Downey meanwhile will also be appearing in The Avengers: The Age of Ultron as well as The Avengers 3 where he will return to play his final role. Stark will lock horns with Steve Rogers, who is Captain America’s second self, a slot that will be filled in by Chris Evans.

The two will have a mighty tussle over a certain law. According to this law, anyone with special powers will have to declare them as a force for the good of the United States. 

This is how the plot goes…while Stark is on the side of the law, Rogers is dead set against it. The reasons Rogers has are: it is against personal freedom, leads to partisan politics and causes him to run for his life. 

Stark is left as the lone moral agent and has to take on the opposition of the others. This is the ideal position for Robert and he /4/even play a role in a fourth edition of The Avengers Series. 

The reboot version will come out in 2015 though. Downey however almost lost his role as Iron Man. His interference in the details angered one of the studio heads who nearly struck him off the list. 

Downey made a cool $50 million for The Avengers and he will be making nearly the same amount of greenbacks for Captain America 3. Several people will be working on the set of Captain America 3, including among them Anthony and Joe Russo. As for Robert, he is all ready to reap the benefits in terms of dollars from the movie.
