Robert Downey Jr. Will Do ‘Iron Man 4′ If Mel Gibson Directs
If Stark needs to be recast one day, Downey Jr. will have a say. And Iron Man 4 will only exist if he’s interested. Fortunately for fans, Shane Black believes Downey Jr. will continue playing Stark but it may be as simple as giving the star even more of what he wants and what he really wants is for Hollywood to give Mel Gibson another chance.
Years ago, when Robert Downey Jr. was enduring the roughest patch of his life, battling drugs and the law, Mel Gibson helped put him on the right path. In 2011 Downey had won the American Cinematheque Award and chose Gibson to present it, using the opportunity to let the world know that Gibson is a good man, a changed man, and needed another shot.
| “Unless you are without sin – and if you are, you are in the wrong fucking industry, you should forgive him and let him work… This is my fuckin’ time. Mel and I have the same lawyer, same publicist and same shrink. I couldn’t get hired and he cast me. He said if I accepted responsibility – he called it hugging the cactus – long enough, my life would take meaning. And if he helped me, I would help the next guy. But it was not reasonable to assume the next guy would be him.” |

小勞勃道尼主演的「鋼鐵人」系列電影大賣，電影公司苦哀求他拍第4集，但他不肯。不料日昨他受訪時鬆口，如果由梅爾吉勃遜導第4集，他會考慮再接再厲。
娛樂網站「Deadline」日前訪談中故意問他：「…如果梅爾吉勃遜來導的話，你是否就願意演（第4集）？」小勞勃道尼馬上說：「沒錯！為什麼不呢？那部片一定大家都喜愛。」
梅爾吉勃遜前幾年有許多負面新聞，「但他已洗心革面，變了很多。」小勞勃道尼表示，梅爾吉勃遜已改正錯誤，就應該得到寬恕。尤其電影圈非常競爭，梅爾有天分、擅長說故事，也是一個好導演，為什麼不給他機會？
小勞勃道尼和梅爾私交甚篤：「他變了很多，但另一方面他還是那個梅爾。我們倆有很多地方很像。」他還說，如果要批評一個男人或女人，應該先看他教出來的小孩。梅爾的孩子健康、快樂，「我有幸和他們其中幾個很熟。梅爾教我很多為人父母之道，這些到後來都證明是對的。」
看來，漫威若想看到「鋼鐵人4」上片，得認真考慮小勞勃道尼這番心聲了。
