It seems like the "Iron Man 4" rumors will never end because many fans still want to see their favorite superhero on the big screen. Even if Robert Downey Jr., who gave life to Tony Stark a.k.a. Iron Man, revealed that there's no plan for a fourth Iron Man, some people still remain hopeful that there will be a sequel.
There could be an "Iron Man 4", but the 49-year old actor may finally give up his armor. One reason could be his huge paycheck since he was recently named as Forbes' highest paid actor. Another could be his age because he is not getting any younger. If he needs to pass his role to another actor, then who could it be?
Cinema Blend has come up with several "Iron Man 4" rumors, but what we think could be a great plot to work on is about making Harley (Ty Simpkins) his apprentice. Tony Stark and the young kid had a great chemistry in "Iron Man 3" so he is the perfect candidate for wearing the iron suit. Of course, in the new sequel, we will see another grown up actor to star as the older Harley.
During an interview with I Am Rouge, Ty Simpkins agreed to that theory so there's a possibility that it could happen. The 13-year old actor said, "Maybe if Tony Stark is over with being a super hero, because it kind of seemed like that, then Harley could take over when he gets older or build his own Iron Man suit. Well, I'm not sure if they are going to do a Iron Man 4 but maybe in The Avengers 2, and if not, then Iron Man 4."
The "Jurassic World" star also talked about his character in "Iron Man 3". He said, "It said that I was cocky, like a younger Tony Stark. In The Avengers there is sort of this relationship between Captain America and Tony, where they are fighting and then they are friends. So we did that. Where he would throw something at me and I would give it right back to him. We would get into funny arguments and then after that be friends."
Ty Simpkin's character is definitely the perfect replacement for Tony Stark; and out of all "Iron Man 4" rumors, this plot is something worth watching. Who do you think could best play as the older Harley?
