If there’s one factor comedian e-book followers can agree on, it’s that simply because a character is dead doesn’t imply they’ll’t return for extra adventures. There could possibly be a prequel, a miraculous resurrection, a model from one other universe… there’s no restrict, actually. So when Robert Downey Jr. begins speaking about perhaps playing Tony Stark once more, it’s price paying consideration.
Iron Man kicked off the Marvel Cinematic Universe as we now realize it in early Could 2008; Downey’s portrayal of the character immediately made him a fan favourite, one thing that carried by way of 10 Iron Man, Avengers, and Avengers-adjacent motion pictures. That every one led to 2019’s Avengers: Endgame, when Iron Man sacrificed himself to avoid wasting everybody from Thanos. There was a funeral and all the pieces! However 5 years on—and 16 years after first taking part in the character—Downey, who simply picked up an Oscar for Oppenheimer, says he’s not ruling out a return.
Talking to Esquire (by way of Deadline), the actor was requested if he’d ever put Stark’s high-tech armor on once more to convey the character again. “Fortunately. It’s too integral part of my DNA. That position selected me,” he stated, earlier than shouting out the top of Marvel Studios. “And look, I at all times say, By no means, ever wager towards Kevin Feige. It’s a shedding wager. He’s the home. He’ll at all times win.”
With Marvel at the moment in a state of figuring out its own future after some current bumps in the blockbuster road, perhaps determining a option to convey again one in every of its most beloved heroes—something that’s been part of rumors in the past—would make sense. What do you assume: would you need to see Downey return to the MCU?
