Robert Downey Jr. may bring Iron Man to 'Captain America 3'
Tony Stark and Steve Rogers have never really gotten along. They may not be enemies, but if not for The Avengers they probably wouldn't be friends, and the abrasive relationship between Iron Man and Captain America has fueled one of the greatest storylines in the modern Marvel Comics universe: Civil War, the epic 2006-07 crossover series that pitted hero against hero.
Now comes word that Robert Downey Jr. is in talks to join Chris Evans in Captain America 3 in a story that would bring this clash to the big screen, two sources confirm to EW.
But it is 'far from a done deal,' one source says, noting that similar efforts to bring Joaquin Phoenix to the role of Doctor Strange fell apart after reaching a similar stage of negotiations.
In fact, the friction between Cap and Iron Man may be rivaled only by the hard-nosed dealmaking between Downey's agents at CAA and notoriously cost-conscious Marvel CEO Isaac Perlmutter, according to a report in Variety by Marc Graser, who broke the news.
Brothers Joe and Anthony Russo, who directed Captain America: The Winter Soldier, are already on board to direct Cap 3, which is set for May 6, 2016.
