Robert Downey Jr.: “Captain America Civil War is my little Iron Man 4”

The Russo brothers' blockbuster will return at 9:25 p.m. on TMC.

In Captain America: Civil War, released in theaters in 2016, the Avengers are divided into two camps, regarding the implementation of a superhero census law. Following the carnage that occurred at the end of Age of Ultron, they disagree on the course of action to follow. Tony Stark believes that they must accept the government's conditions, while Steve Rogers believes that such a law could be dangerous for the men and women who fight in masks to protect their loved ones. Black Widow, the Falcon, War Machine, Scarlet Witch, Black Panther, Ant-Man, Spider-Man and everyone else will have to choose their side.

If it is officially a sequel to Captain America, this episode therefore takes up a good part of the Avengers, while pitting two heroes against each other. The situation is reversed, since the group led by Captain America disobeys the authorities, while that of Iron Man sides with the powerful.

The character of Tony Stark is therefore very important in the plot of this Russo brothers blockbuster, to the point that Robert Downey Jr. declared, to USA Today, a few days before its release: “In a sense, Cape 3 is my little one Iron Man 4“. The flagship actor of the franchise Avengers confirmed in passing that a new episode of Tony Stark's solo adventures was not “not in the pipeline”.

The rest of the saga confirmed his words: Iron Man was at the heart of the intrigues ofAvengers 3 And 4released in 2018 and 2019 respectively, and he also appeared during a few scenes of Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017), as Peter Parker's (Tom Holland) mentor, but he actually didn't have a solo film after Iron Man 3by Shane Black (2013).
