Robert Downey Jr. Is Open For His MCU Return
Robert Downey Jr. was born to play Iron Man, and it’s hard to picture anyone else wearing the suit. Beyond the MCU, Downey Jr. has also succeeded in other big roles, like his Oscar-winning performance in Christopher Nolan’s 2023 blockbuster, “Oppenheimer.
Even with his success outside of Marvel, Downey Jr. is open to returning as Iron Man. In an interview with Esquire, he shared his thoughts:
“Happily. It’s too integral a part of my DNA. That role chose me,” he said, mentioning Marvel boss Kevin Feige. “And look, I always say, never ever bet against Kevin Feige. It is a losing bet. He’s the house. He will always win.”
This interview might even act as a hint itself. If Feige decides Iron Man should return, Tony Stark could very likely show up in “Deadpool & Wolverine,” especially considering the clues in the trailer.
“Deadpool & Wolverine” is set to be released on July 26, 2024, and these rumors only add to the excitement.
