How has Tony Stark changed between Iron Man 3 and Avengers: Age of Ultron? Robert Downey Jr. is glad you asked...
Oh, there's just so much talk about where Tony Stark's head is at these days, isn't there? First we learned Iron Man will be in Captain America: Civil War, meaning he'll be at odds with Captain America. Then that Avengers: Age of Ultron trailer showed us a Tony Stark who has possibly screwed up in an earth-shattering fashion, and it's not something his teammates particularly love.
Quite a shift from the end of Iron Man 3, isn't it? Well, Robert Downey Jr. feels the same way. “I thought that the third Iron Man was about [Tony] transcending his dependence on the merits of continuing to wear your wound...That was what [director] Shane [Black] and I thought was the real win, that he throws that thing that had become a dependency away."
He's given this some serious thought, though:
“It reminds me of all that stuff, particularly as you get a little older or if you have any existential queries whatsoever...Why aren’t I dealing with that which is going to destroy me any second anyway? The armor was kind of an extension of that. There were so many suits, but I think he realizes that making all the suits in the world, which is what he had been doing, still didn’t [help him]. His focus [now] is more on how can we make it so that there’s no problem to begin with. That there’s a bouncer at our planet’s rope. That’s the big idea.”
So, what is it that everyone always says that ol' road to hell is paved with?
Avengers: Age of Ultron opens on May 1st, 2015, but you already knew that.
