Robert Downey Jr’s Willingness to Return as Iron Man Confuses Russo Brothers

Deadline reported that Robert Downey Jr. has shown interest in returning to the role of Tony Stark / Iron Man in the future. The problem is that Iron Man sacrificed himself at the end of Avengers: Endgame, something that the directors of the movie mentioned when asked about RDJ’s comments.

 Anthony Russo told GamesRadar, “I don’t know how they would do it. I don’t know what the road to that would be.” 

Joe Russo added, “I mean, we closed that book, so it would be up to them to figure out how to reopen it.”

Previously Kevin Feige had said, “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.”

So, that’s the end of that, right? Probably not, as anyone who has actually bothered to read a superhero coming in their life knows that a character’s death only lasts until the sales start to drop and if the MCU continues to have a few underperforming films, I expect the writers would come up with a way for RDJ to suit up again.
