Mel Gibson would be down to direct Iron Man 4

Would Mel Gibson be open to directing a possible Iron Man 4 sequel?

“Of course!” he replied.

Attending a Mending Kids International Gala, Gibson sat down with Extra’s Mario Lopez and discussed Iron Man Star Robert Downey Jr.’s previous statement that he’d do an Iron Man 4 if Gibson directed it.

“I’m pretty good at directing,” Gibson said. “I think I got some statues for it. I think I can do it. I think I’m a better director than actor. I hope somebody gives me an argument on that.”

Gibson also shared thoughts on another actor-director, Ben Affleck who is set to portray the Caped Crusader in next year’s highly anticipated Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice.

“[Affleck is] amazing,” he said. He’s really good. You could see in the first thing that he did that he’s a very good director, and it’s been proven now.”

So, are you down with this? Do YOU want a Mel Gibson directed Iron Man 4? Let us know in the comment below!

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
