Robert Downey Jr. expresses his willingness to reprise his role as Iron Man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), sparking speculation about his potential return and how it should be handled after his character's emotional death in Avengers: Endgame.

Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Robert Downey Jr. recently shared that he would be willing to return to the MCU as Iron Man , leading to speculation over when he might return, and in what form. Iron Man returning to the MCU after his emotional death in Avengers: Endgame is also one that needs to be handled with care. Tony Stark was integral to getting the MCU started, and his story seemingly came to the perfect conclusion.

While Robert Downey Jr. is open to returning, he also understands the impact of Tony Stark’s Avengers: Endgame finale. Downey Jr. reportedly cried when he heard about Tony’s fate, saying that it was “f--cking awesome.” Downey Jr. would likely be as invested in keeping the impact of Tony’s original death, even if he does decide to return to the role.

Armor Wars will seemingly harken back to Obediah Stane’s line about Tony giving the world its best weapon despite dedicating himself to getting rid of them. This story could show the darker side of Tony’s legacy, while Ironheart presents a more optimistic view of Iron Man’s impact on others. In this way, Iron Man is still a major part of the MCU the same way Steve Rogers still influenced the events of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, despite not appearing on-screen.

Should The MCU Recast Iron Man? Marvel Recast Other Major Characters Like Hulk And War Machine Although the MCU has recast major characters before, doing so with Iron Man wouldn’t be the same. Terrance Howard only appeared one time as Rhodey, and Edward Norton was only in a single Hulk movie. In contrast, Robert Downey Jr. was Iron Man for 11 years and was also the first major hero to appear in the MCU.
