Mel Gibson Wants To Direct Iron Man 4

A while ago Robert Downey Jr. said he wanted Mel Gibson to direct Iron Man 4.  Then he said he wasn’t serious.  Well gather round, fellow Gibson-ites, for the GOAT has spoken.

“I’m pretty good at directing. I think I got some statues for it. I think I can do it.”

Indeed.  Gibson is a masterful and genius director.  He went on, speaking to ExtraTV: “I think I’m a better director than actor. I hope somebody gives me an argument on that.”  Allow ManlyMovie to oblige, amazing as Mr. Gibson is as an actor, he’s even more amazing as a director.  So amazing that I’d break my (personal) boycott of Marvel tedium to check out what a Gibson-directed Iron Man 4 would look like.

It won’t happen though, Mel still has too many strong enemies, permanent ones it seems.  And I think RDJ was always aware of that.  However, Mel’s pal Downey says they have another big plan together, but hasn’t released any further info on it.  I wonder if RDJ would star in Berserker?
