Kevin Feige says Robert Downey Jr. Will Not Return as Iron Man
Ever since his character’s death inAvengers: Endgame, fans have believed thatRobert Downey Jr.’s Iron Man would return in some form in a future MCU film. However, Kevin Feige has now kept that rumor to rest, saying that he and Marvel want to keep the integrity of the character’s death intact, and reviving him unnecessarily will ruin its meaning. He toldVanity Fair,
“We are going to keep that moment and not touch that moment again. We all worked very hard for many years to get to that, and we would never want to magically undo it in any way.”
One can interpret this in two ways: Feige might be pulling an Andrew Garfield here, or he is really speaking the truth. Only time will tell whether Feige keeps his word on he matter.
