"With the success of 'The Avengers' we can afford to take even more risks," he said of his next Marvel movie hitting theaters on May 3, 2013.

The actor explained that new director Shane Black has a good relationship with former helmer Jon Favreau.

"Jon and I used to call Shane Black and ask him when we were stuck on what to do with the scenes and now Shane and I call John when we are stuck," Robert told Access.

But will there more movies about Marvel's favorite armored hero?

"The future is uncertain," the actor said during a panel at Comic-Con. "I'm super happy and this has been just an amazing journey." Marvel Studios chief Kevin Feige - who appeared with Robert, Don Cheadle (James Rhodes) and Jon (executive producer of the film and stars as Happy Hogan) - also announced that more sequels are on the way for Tony Stark's fellow Avengers.
