'Iron Man 4' not on the cards: Robert Downey Jr

Los Angeles: Hollywood star Robert Downey Jr says there are no immediate plans to develop fourth installment of the hit "Iron Man" franchise.

The 50-year-old actor will be seen in his superhero avatar in the upcoming "Captain America: Civil War" but fans will have to wait longer for Iron Man to come solo, reported USA Today.

While Downey seems game to play this character for as long as Marvel lets him, he also admitted, "I don't think that's in the cards," when asked about "Iron Man 4".

Since kicking off the Marvel Cinematic Universe franchise in 2008, the three "Iron Man" films have grossed more than USD 2 billion worldwide, and Downey's character has become one of the most prominent Avengers.
