News about Robert Downey Jr. hanging up his famous red suit and not be a part of "Iron Man 4" just won't seem to die down. To make matters worst, a new report revealed that Robert Downey Jr. appears to be fine with passing on his iconic role to someone else. So what's the deal?
Just when everyone thought that "Iron Man 4" is definitely happening and Robert Downey Jr. will play the famous genius, billionaire, playboy, philanthropist, Tony Stark, Cinema Blend cited that Robert Downey Jr. responded to reports that a 15-year-old African-American, Riri Williams, will be replacing him as Iron Man.
'Iron Man 4' is going to be Iron Woman?
Robert Downey Jr. took to Twitter to show his support of Riri Williams being the lead in "Iron Man 4."

Although many "Iron Man 4" fans didn't appreciate his post, it definitely garnered more attention as to the authenticity of this idea.
Is Marvel Studios really ready for a drastic change? Does this mean that "Iron Man 4" is still not 100% fixed? Then howcome Robert Downey Jr. made us all jump for joy when he confirmed to Ellen DeGeneres that "Iron Man 4" is happening? What was that all about?
Unfortunately, these questions regarding the much-hyped "Iron Man 4" will maintain a mystery for now.
Marvel is just brewing more publicity for 'Iron Man 4?'
According to Cinema Blend, marvel Studios is known for stirring things up to gain more publicity. So is this also the same case that they're doing with "Iron Man 4?"
Robert Downey Jr's talent fee had been a huge issue before for him to reprise his iconic role. The site reports that his contract will end after the Avengers: Infinity War films.
So we shouldn't take Robert Downey Jr's Twitter post as a joke, because he may actually be hinting something.
It's definitely sad to realize that there's a high chance that Robert Downey Jr. will not reprise his role in "Iron Man 4," but if you really think about it, nothing was really said and confirmed regarding his appearance in "Iron Man 4."
A lot of things are still uncertain regarding "Iron Man 4," but for now we can still see Robert Downey Jr. in his famous red suit when “Avengers: Infinity Wars Part 1” debuts in 2018 and “Avengers: Infinity War Part 2" releases in 2019.
