Aren't we all happy Robert Downey Jr. has had such a great year? First he rocked the big screen as a solid Tony Stark in the awesome "Iron Man," and then he delivered a hilarious performance as an actor having a controversial surgery to portray an African American solider in "Tropic Thunder."

The great news is that Downey Jr.'s career certainly doesn't there. Besides returning as Stark in "Iron Man 2," the actor also recently signed on to play Stark in the upcoming "The Avengers" flick, which is currently scheduled for release in 2011.

The folks over at MTV decided they simply had to talk to the man, and here is a snippet of what he had to say about the "Avengers" movie:

“It has to be the crowning blow of Marvel’s best and brightest because it’s the hardest thing to get right. It’s tough to spin all the plates for one of these characters.”

He certainly got that right. Read more about this over at MTV if you would like. Meanwhile, let me know below just how excited you are about the second "Iron Man" and "The Avengers."
