The 'Iron Man' armor

Further, it was also believed that he only took three days to complete filming for his upcoming role in the said movie.
No indication of retirement
In one of his latest interviews, Downey revealed that he cannot yet give the exact time as to when he is going to retire from his role.

Despite the continued success of Marvel Cinematic Universe films, the actor seems like he wanted to start something new.
A report from WJLA also shared his statement that says, "I have done by dropping the ball because I decided to go do it one more time. I just want to hang up my jersey before it's embarrassing."
