Blomkamp has show a fascination in projects with big ideas behind them , and a particular involvement in those involving some other lifetime conformation . No one outside of Marvel Studios know on the nose what the future holds for Robert Downey Jr. ’s Iron Man in the MCU , but withGuardians of the Galaxydirector James Gunn hinting theMCU will bear on to go more cosmic , Blomkamp could be a great paroxysm for an intergalacticIron Man 4 .

While he is a much more placeable name than Marvel be given to hire , the power to get a director like Blomkamp could be a way to keep the dealership fresh if they planned to retain it . Not only that , but it would also give theIron Manfranchise an implausibly inviolable lineup for behind the camera after Jon Favreau tackle the first two and Shane Black close out the trilogy . Plus , from Blomkamp ’s view , he would have no shortage of offers on the table if he bounce back in a big way by joining the MCU and deliver a great ( possible ) closing chapter to Downey ’s electric discharge - should Iron Man surviveUntitled Avengers .

Even if anotherIron Manfilm is not on the mesa at Marvel Studios , Blomkamp would be a fascinating hire for them to make at any point and on any labor . He has no shortage of creativeness - which is partially responsible for for his downfall in the psyche of some - but Marvel Studios and Kevin Feige have a squad in situation that could keep him reticent in certain area while letting him go hazardous in others . Who knows if it will ever happen , but Marvel , Blomkamp is interested if you are .
