Downey. Jr won't quit 'Iron Man' role

Albuquerque Express (IANS) Tuesday 1st May, 2012

Actor Robert Downey Jr isn't ready to quit "Iron Man" movies as he would hate seeing another actor playing his iconic role.

The actor's dwindling Hollywood career got a kick after he appeared in 2008 film "Iron Man", and he's since gone on to reprise the character twice more in "Iron Man 2" and "The Avengers".

A third "Iron Man" movie is in the works, and Downey, Jr. is keen to keep playing the character providing the films retain the same high quality, reports express.co.uk.

"I would really hate for someone else to think they could step into my shoes. I know things are looking like that they (sic) could go on for a long while," the actor told MTV.

"As usual in my book, it's all about quality control and delivering a product that you can have this kind of reaction to. If they keep doing that, maybe I'll keep showing up," he added.

    Nothing will ever completely replace playing the game I love, however I feel like I'm starting a new adventure and I'm genuinely excited about what lies ahead. I'm fortunate to have been given many opportunities throughout my career and now I feel it's my time to give back.
