Several weeks ago, Marvel has officially made an announcement for the "Iron Man 4" movie following the news about recasting Iron Man. News and speculations being thrown at the upcoming fourth installment movie have been recently added in the rumor mills.

Robert Downey Jr., who played as Tony Stark best known as Iron Man since the first movie, has reportedly been renegotiating with Marvel. In an article on the Cross Map, RDJ would only reprise his role for the "Iron Man 4" if he would be given the price he is requesting. So far, the contract has not yet sealed.

In some previous reports, RDJ was demanding for a $100 million rate. Others are saying that he is asking for an additional $50 million to his previous rate of $70 million as Iron Man. However, other news indicated that he is demanding for a portion of the sales instead of a fixed price.

On other news, Director Peyton Reed unintentionally revealed a hint in regard to the latest "Iron Man 4" movie on Entertainment Weekly. It seemed like a deleted scene of the "Ant-Man" was released following the question of Reed directed to Paul Rudd, "Is that a Ten Rings tattoo?" which attracted the audiences' attention.

According to the Cinema Blend, Rudd insisted that it was not as seemed to be but it looked like he was enjoying it. In the original Iron Man movie, the Ten Rings was an organization established for abducting Tony Stark. The Mandarin customarily handled the organization which they were blamed for all the anarchy and havoc in the third Iron Man movie.

Although reports say the blame should not actually be put on the Ten Rings, the status of the organization within the MCU remains unclear. However, they are possibly alive and well.

Furthermore, rumors are circulating around the web that Tony Stark will be inherited by Ty Simpkins if ever Downey Jr. and Marvel Studios won't land on the price. Hence, "Iron Man 4" might possibly have Harley Keener (Ty Simpkins) as the new iron superhero.
