User blog:Matt Hadick/Robert Downey Jr. to return for The Avengers 2 & 3

In an announcement sure to surprise pretty much no one, Marvel confirms that yes, Robert Downey Jr. will be returning as Iron Man in the Avengers sequels. So, get ready for more of that trademark "Tony Stark Snark" we know and love. And more cool t-shirts.

While I doubt we'll be seeing anymore standalone Iron Man sequels following the last film's closure, there's something comforting about knowing we'll be able to spend some more time with Downey's Iron Man in future Avengers films.

This announcement, which (let's be honest) was more or less a given, made me think about who would play Iron Man if Robert Downey Jr. decided he flat out didn't want to anymore. Who do you think could adequately fill the suit? Let us know in the comments.
