Appearing on The Late Show with David Letterman, Robert Downey Jr. slightly changed the statement he previously made on The Ellen DeGeneres Show. The actor, 49, is now singing a new tune saying that "there are no plans" for the fourth installment. When asked by Letterman why isn't it happening the actor responded:
Netizens are baffled with the sudden change of plans (or no plans), others are convinced that this may be a publicity stunt as Marvel is well known for guarding its projects.
Screen Rant recently sat down and had a chat with Marvel Studio's head, Kevin Feige. When asked about 'Avengers 3', Feige only told that it would be released following the studio's three-year interval, to which Screen Rant concluded that it would be released in 2018, along with two other untitled movies Marvel has previously announced:

The Synopsis for Marvel's much awaited awaited sequel can be seen over atScreen Rant:
"Marvel Studios presents "Avengers: Age of Ultron," the epic follow-up to the biggest Super Hero movie of all time. When Tony Stark tries to jumpstart a dormant peacekeeping program, things go awry and Earth's Mightiest Heroes, including Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, The Incredible Hulk, Black Widow and Hawkeye, are put to the ultimate test as the fate of the planet hangs in the balance. As the villainous Ultron emerges, it is up to The Avengers to stop him from enacting his terrible plans, and soon uneasy alliances and unexpected action pave the way for an epic and unique global adventure.
Marvel's "Avengers: Age of Ultron" stars Robert Downey Jr., who returns as Iron Man, along with Chris Evans as Captain America, Chris Hemsworth as Thor and Mark Ruffalo as The Hulk. Together with Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow and Jeremy Renner as Hawkeye, and with the additional support of Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury and Cobie Smulders as Agent Maria Hill, the team must reassemble to defeat James Spader as Ultron, a terrifying technological villain hell-bent on human extinction. Along the way, they confront two mysterious and powerful newcomers, Wanda Maximoff, played by Elizabeth Olsen, and Pietro Maximoff, played by Aaron Taylor-Johnson, and meet an old friend in a new form when Paul Bettany becomes Vision.
Written and directed by Joss Whedon and produced by Kevin Feige, Marvel's "Avengers: Age of Ultron" is based on the ever-popular Marvel comic book series "The Avengers," first published in 1963. Get set for an action-packed thrill ride when The Avengers return in Marvel's "Avengers: Age of Ultron" on May 1, 2015."
Along with the teaser trailer for "Age of Ultron" shown at the San Diego Comic-Con last July, concept posters for each Avenger member were also released. A character that didn't get his own poster is The Vision, played by Paul Bettany who long has been the voice of Iron Man's AI companion, Jarvis.
In the poster of Quicksilver, The Vision appears to be in the background turning away, fighting off Ultron's Machines.
A better look at The Vision in an Instagram post can be seen over at Screen Crush.
Other characters set to appear in the sequel include Scarlet Witch played by Elizabeth Olsen, who has been revealed at the end of Captain America 2 Winter Soldier.
Along with Olsen is her Godzilla co-star Aaron Tyler-Johnson who plays the role of Quicksilver.
