There is no denying that the "Iron Man" franchise is a worldwide box-office success. Since the premiere of the first adaptation in 2008, the series has since earned more than two billion dollars on a budget of more or less 500 million for all three films. Because of the success, a fourth film release seems to be almost a definite and according to several reports after months of dilly dallying, Robert Downey Jr. would be reprising his role as the iconic super hero.

The director of "Iron Man 3," Shane Black, confirms that Robert Downy Jr. will still continue playing the role of the genius, playboy and philanthropist that is Tony Stark despite the earlier rumors that Robert Downy Jr. declined the offer of reprising his role on the blockbuster hit primarily because of financial issues.

The fourth insalllment of Iron Man may feature a young superhero to replace Tony Stark in wearing the Iron Man suit as he steps down from his post. This young man is Harley Keener who is played by Ty Simpkins. Simpkins first appeared in Iron Man 3 where he helped the injured Tony Stark in recovering, fixing the damaged Iron man suit and finding the mandarin. The setting of the 4th Iron Man movie may be in the near future where Kenner had already grown up. The grown character of Harley Keener will eventually mature and will become as smart and as talented as Tony Stark is at his age and will be worthy to wear the Iron man mantle.

The fourth "Iron Man" movie may also revolve around the terrorist organization called The Ten Rings. The Ten Rings are the terrorist organization that became part of the reason why the Iron man suit was invented by Tony Stark. Like in "Iron man 3," the Ten Rings only hired an actor to act as their leader. This being said, the real group behind the Mandarin is hiding in the dark. The identity of the secret terrorist organization may be exploited in this 4th installment of the "Iron Man" movie franchise.

The release date for Iron Man 4 is scheduled on 2019.
