While RDJ's casting in "Captain America: Civi War" has caused fans to get more excited about the third installment to Cap's franchise, the 50-year-old Marvel hero reminded fans that the movie is not about Iron Man, instead his character will most likely just going to support the story of Steve Rogers.

"Ultimately it's Steve's story; it doesn't say 'Iron Man 4: Civil War,'" he explained in his interview with Empire Magazine, which was posted online by Screen Rant.

"I think that's great too. I think Chris [Evans] has been hungry to bring even more of an underside and some shadow to that. I remember the comics - on the surface you got the sense that Cap was baseball and apple pie, but underneath there was all this churning stuff of being a man out of time. Now we know he's made his peace with that. What's the bigger issue? It can have a little something to do with the past, but it can be about someone becoming more modernized in their own conflict."

Furthermore, he explained how his character have landed in the world of Captain America, and how the events of "Age of Ultron" has led to "Civil War."

And while he's also excited in his battle with Chris Evans, Robert Downey Jr., explained how his Iron Man character could have landed in Captain America's universe. Explaining how the events in "Age of Ultron" made its way to "Captain America 3."

"Yeah. Again, it's natural to change your views. The main thing to me is, and this is where I think the Russos are quite brilliant and where Kevin backed the play, is what sort of incident could occur and what sort of framework could we find Tony in? The clues are in Ultron about where we might find him next. But what would it take for Tony to completely turn around everything he's stood for, quote-unquote, because he was the right-wing guy who could still do his own thing. When the first Iron Man came out the liberals and conservatives were both like, 'You're our guy'. Yes! Score! But the idea of Tony being able to march into Washington and say, 'I'll sign up', wouldn't have made sense if the political climate in the real world hadn't shifted the way it has. It's a little bit of things following a real world continuum in, 'What would you do?' There's always the bigger overarching question, that Joss brings up all the time - it's kind of weird that these guys would have all these throw downs all over planet Earth and it looked like a little collateral damage happened over there, and yet when the movie's over, it's like nobody minds. You have to figure, 'Were you to ask the question, what would the American government do if this were real? Wouldn't it be interesting to see Tony doing something you wouldn't imagine?'"

"Captain America: Civil War" is slated to hit theaters on May 6, 2016.
