Apparently Downey Jr is confirmed for Captain America: Civil War. Thought he was retiring from the role.
This was confirmed four or five months ago. What rock you living under?
Downey never said he was retiring from the role, it was just that he was never confirmed beyond the AoU. He started making noises about doing a 4th IM film if Mel Gibson directs, and the next thing that happens is Civil War is announced.
You would have to say there is a fair chance he will be in the Avengers films as well.
Even Chris Evans has made noises about retiring from working in front of the camera for a few years, then said he would not rule out continuing as Cap.
