IRON MAN 3 & AVENGERS

• WAR MACHINE'S FUTURE

Collider got a chance to ask Don Cheadle about both Iron Man 3 and Marvel's The Avengers.  The War Machine stated that he will not be returning to Avengers but he will be back for Iron Man 3 and even gave a possible start date.

Here is part of the Interview from Collider:

Q: Are there any future Marvel movies that you might be appearing in?

CHEADLE: Well the Iron Man 3 is coming back. We'll probably do that again in February and there's talk of a War Machine spinoff, which I guess, unless I get recast, I would probably do.

Q: Will you be in The Avengers?

CHEADLE: Not this one that they're shooting right now. Thank god!

Q: Was that ever in the works?

CHEADLE: Me being in The Avengers? I have a contract to be in The Avengers but I'm glad they haven't exercised that option yet. I need some down time.

Walt Disney Pictures is planning on releasing Marvel Studios' Iron Man 3 on May 3, 2013. Shane Black will direct with Robert Downey Jr. returning to the role of Tony Stark/Iron Man.
