Iron Man is very grounded in reality, but over<br />

the course of the films, they’ve moved to a<br />

very different world. How has playing Tony<br />

against that been?<br />

The nice thing is that it is fairly compartmentalized<br />

and, I think, pretty seamlessly so. He lives in this<br />

cocoon of his own world, anyway. All he really cares<br />

about is Pepper and his Dummy. He doesn’t care<br />

about any of his material stuff except some robots,<br />

this girl, and his one friend. I think he became<br />

friendly with Bruce [Banner] maybe a little more<br />

than the others, but it’s like he went and did a big<br />

action movie and then came back and lives in Kansas<br />

or something.<br />

The Tony Stark character is very linked to<br />

you. That’s not to say they couldn’t one day<br />

recast the role—<br />

I’m sure they’ve thought about it. I feel like I got<br />

sold to Disney for $4 billion.<br />

So there will be an Iron Man 4?<br />

I don’t know.<br />
