Downey hurt on 'Iron Man 3' set; filming on hold
LOS ANGELES (AP) - Production on "Iron Man 3" is on hold after star Robert Downey Jr. hurt his foot during filming.
Marvel Studios said Thursday that Downey was injured while performing a stunt and "there will be a short delay in production while he recuperates." The 47-year-old actor is shooting the third installment in the superhero franchise in North Carolina.
"Iron Man 3" is set for release next summer. Downey plays billionaire playboy Tony Stark and Gwyneth Paltrow is his love, Pepper Potts. Guy Pearce and Ben Kingsley also star.
Downey also appeared as his Stark/Iron Man character earlier this summer in "The Avengers." The actor also unveiled a clip of the forthcoming "Iron Man' flick at Comic-Con last month.

Gut wrenching news story :(
Probably needs to go to treatment.........AGAIN.
Hopefully it'll be a better movie than the second one.
I'm not an Iron Man fan, but I think RD jr is a great actor. Love the Sherlock Holmes flics with Jude Law
Probably from those high(er) heeled shoes he requested for this movie.
I thought the 2nd one was pretty good. Hope this one is at least as good.
NOOOO not another iron man the 2nd one sucked so bad I beg you not to make another pile of garbage. First movie was great but after that it just got lame.
