Directors Joe and Anthony Russo share their opinion on the possibility of Robert Downey Jr.’s return as Iron Man after the hero’s death in Avengers: Endgame. Iron Man’s MCU journey concluded in 2019 with his heroic sacrifice when using the Infinity Stones to defeat Thanos, after which Captain America retired and the Avengers disbanded. With the Avengers’ two most important members gone for good, the Multiverse Saga is headed to the creation of a new Avengers team, composed of a new generation of superheroes.
Following Robert Downey Jr.’s positive comments on Iron Man’s potential return, Avengers: Endgame directors Joe and Anthony Russo told GamesRadar that they wouldn’t know how to bring Iron Man back, as they decided that Tony Stark’s farewell was supposed to be definitive. Read the Russo brothers’ comments below.
Anthony Russo: “I don’t know how they would do it. I don’t know what the road to that would be [laughs].”
Joe Russo: “I mean we closed that book so it would be up to them to figure out how to reopen it.”
