RDJ Says |
Last time, we saw [Tony Stark] as this hapless, charming prick who has his ass handed to him, and turns it around and then is almost snuffed by the very person he thought he could trust above everyone else. Just because someone has a life-changing experience doesn't really mean they've changed. Tony is seeking solace in the archetype. It's one thing to say you're Iron Man and it's another thing to actually be a righteous person, and I think he struggles with that because he's not really all that different. This film really is about Tony's secret journey into his deepest fears, his sense of obligation, his sense of legacy with his father, a sense of brotherhood with Rhodey and his ongoing deep love and respect for Pepper... We wanted to do something just a little bit freakier than [a love triangle] and I believe we have succeeded. Black Widow is a great character because she is not what she appears to be. It was a great opportunity. I don't even know if it's so much a love triangle. Pepper is exactly what she appears to be, except there's a lot more going on under the surface, and that's brought to bear, this time. |
