Iron Man and Tropic Thunder star Robert Downey Jr. visited "Live with Regis and Kelly" this morning to promote the latter, but he was asked by Regis Philbin about Iron Man 2.

Downey Jr. would only confirm that it is happening and said he thought they would end up making a trilogy of it. He did, however, hint that he was willing to make more films beyond a trilogy!

Downey Jr. will soon start filming the Guy Ritchie-directed Sherlock Holmes and will then shoot Iron Man 2 for an April 30, 2010 release.

In related news, Access Hollywood has posted a deleted scene from the upcoming Iron Man DVD, hitting stores on September 30th. The clip features Tony Stark throwing a party. You can watch the clip using the player below, and for more on the DVD and Blu-ray, go here.

they get mad over everything: Heath Ledger as the joker, Dan Craig as James Bond, Hugh Jackman as wolverine. Once a new superhero movie comes out itll happen all over again, its the way it is, people are just plain stupid.

I am a geek but completely agree with wheeler. We did bash Heath Ledger, Daniel Craig, and Hugh Jackman a lot back when we thought that they couldn't pull off their respective roles. I'm glad that we were proven wrong.

Erm ... respectfully, much of the Craig-bashing that I recall had to do with the fact that no one thought that he LOOKED the part, not that he couldn't pull it off. I don't recall any Jackman-bashing, but I'm not a big Marvel guy anyhoo, so that could've been there for all I know. I think most folks did reject Ledger; I can only recall saying that I'd have to wait to see what was in the script before I felt any way about it. Ledger got it RIGHT, if you ask me. As for Downey Jr, I can only recall people saying that he'd get the drunken industrialist part of the character spot on, and that's what I'd agree to.
