Robert Downey Jr. started his journey as Tony Stark in Marvel's 2008 venture Iron Man. The American actor who has an active movie career since 1985 has reprised the role in three different movies, two sequels of Iron Man and in The Avengers. He is set to take on the Iron Man suit in four more movies, three Avengers sequels named Age of Ultron, Infinity War 1 and Infinity War 2. But what will happen after that? Will the Avengers: Infinity War 2, which is scheduled for a 8 May, 2019 release, present Robert Downey Jr. for the last time as the superhero who first appeared in the 1965 comic book Tales of Suspense? A recent rumor brought into life by "˜bamsmackpow' suggests that is what will happen! If that doesn't shock you, the rest part of the rumor that narrates who will be replacing him must shock you, and perhaps severely!

Well, the report answers this question as well, not confidently though! If Iron Man 4 is supposed to happen, it will definitely start filming after Avengers: Infinity War 2 has done its part. That means the imaginary time of filming would be 2019. Ty Simpkins will be eighteen years old at that time. 
Now, in the Avengers comic books, there was an era when Iron Man turned evil and the other avengers used a time machine to bring out a younger version of Tony Stark from an alternate timeline in order to stop him. In a battle between the two, younger Tony got his heart damaged badly and could only survive with an Iron Man chest-plate. The elder version of the superhero had sacrificed his life to save the younger one. From then to a certain period the young Tony was appearing as the Iron Man. Should that really be the case? Or will you be happy with Robert Downey Jr. playing Tony Stark at the age of 54 or 55? Whatever be your feelings, do express it through comments!
