Robert Downey Jr talks ‘Avengers Age of Ultron,’ says Jeremy Renner bigger role
The sequel to the blockbuster Avengers film is already in production and star Robert Downey spoke with the Boston Herald in a new March 25 interview.
“This one is a very ambitious sequel. If you read it, it’s dense, it’s smart. Joss (Whedon) is a really smart guy,” Downey Jr says of Avengers: Age of Ultron.
“My 2-year-old is crazy about Hawkeye, and I think Jeremy (Renner) has a lot to do with the plot. There’s always so many plates to spin to get these things half-right, and I’m really excited about this one.”
Three Iron Man films, the Avengers role and a cameo beg to ask the question: how many more films for the Sherlock Holmes star and Downey Jr is unclear.
“The smart money is you have to look at everybody’s age. I’ll put myself at the top of the list. Sooner or later, they’ve got to start over and get somebody young. I’m not there with them yet. It really is the closest thing to being a beloved contract player with a big old-timey studio that there is right now. When you really think about it at the end of the day, these films are entertainment largely driven by young folks. There is something very honorable about that. I run into kids wearing Captain America masks. My kid believes that Captain America is real.”
