Hot off his mega-
Iron Man success,
Robert Downey Jr. is in talks to saddle up for his next big role, in the Brian Grazer-Ron Howard film
Cowboys & Aliens. Per the
Reporter, the movie would be a mix of the sci-fi and Western genres for what will likely be a tongue-in-cheek take on the mélange, and is set to hit theaters in 2010.
The role would be Downey's first deal since smashing the box office competition as Iron Man. In the meantime, while the talks continue for the
Cowboys role, audiences can get more of the steely hero in
Tropic Thunder this August, and
The Soloist in November.
Are you pining for more of Downey Jr. in blockbuster type of roles, or wish he'd return to the sensitive fare that was
Less Than Zero? With any luck, his next roles will be a little bit of both.
