Robert Downey Jr. fine with Disney releasing “Iron Man 3″
Last week at a Los Angeles press conference promoting his new comedy “Due Date,” movie star “Robert Downey Jr. was asked how he feels about Disney releasing “Iron Man 3.”
“Love it,” he said with gusto. “What’s that mean?”
As our friend Matt Price of Nerdage recently reported, Disney, Paramount and Marvel have announced an agreement transferring Paramount’s worldwide marketing and distribution rights for
Robert Downey Jr.
Marvel Studios’ The Avengers” and “Iron Man 3″ to Disney. Paramount remains the worldwide distributor for “Thor” and “Captain America: The First Avenger.” This is all part of a big deal Disney brokered with Marvel.
When the reporter added some of this context, Downey added:
“Well, you know what? I really loved our relationship with Paramount, but to me the main thing, I don’t care about any of that. They’re going to make all those moves. I just want to make a great movie.
“And thanks to my tutelage under two guys who know how to play with power, Zach (Galifianakis) and Todd (Phillips, his co-star and director for “Due Date”), I know exactly what to do with ‘Iron Man 3.’”
“Iron Man 3″ is due in theaters May 3, 2013. Downey will also play Iron Man in “The Avengers,” which will release May 4, 2012.
