'Iron Man 4' News Update: Kevin Feige Reveals the Fourth Installment Would Happen

Marvel President Kevin Feige revealed that he wants to continue making "Iron Man" movies.

During an interview with Collider, Feige revealed that he saw Iron Man like a James Bond and Batman character. When asked if he saw the Iron Man character only appearing in "The Avengers" movies he responded, "I've said it before and it wasn't negotiating tactics. I believe Tony Stark is as strong a character as Batman. We're about to head into our fifth or sixth Batman - however, you wanna look at it - James Bond, etc. So, there will absolutely be future Tony Starks and future Iron Mans. Who makes those movies, and when those movies are made, who knows? I don't know. But, the notion with Robert's contract in The Avengers 2 & 3, is to allow new characters. Part of what we love about The Avengers is the shifting roster. That's what's fun about the comic book movies. You shift them up. So, certainly that was a lot of the thought process that went into it."

Feige has been adamant about making more Iron Man movies even if Robert Downey Jr. leaves the character. Back in April he told the Huffington Post, "Well, look, I don't think Robert will be playing this character for another 30 years, and I certainly hope the character stays in movies for the next 30 years -- just like James Bond. I would say before George Lazenby and Roger Moore, Sean Connery was James Bond. It will take a while to fill any shoes, whether it's filmmaker shoes or writer shoes or certainly actor shoes. I think Tony Stark is an interesting enough and rich enough character that he can persevere."

Feige is currently working with the studio on phase three films. He told Collider that there would be announcements on the 2016 and 2017 films next year.

"The Avengers 2" is scheduled for a 2015 release.
