Ever since Iron Man was released in 2008, people fell in love with Robert Downey Jr.’s portrayal of the Marvel superhero. He wooed us with his charms and tricks as Tony Stark, a “billionaire, genius, and a playboy.” He created a unique weaponized suit of armor while being captive in an Afghan cave. Stark came out of it and not only ruled the Marvel world as Iron Man but also ruled over millions of fans’ hearts.

Downey Jr. continued to appear as Iron Man for years in his standalone movies and the Avengers installments. The actor made the character incredibly iconic and approachable to the audience. However, when he died in Avengers: Endgame in 2019, the whole fandom was heartbroken and devastated.

Many fans started to speculate about his possible return to the universe. While RDJ shed his suit to put on Doctor Doom’s armor, the void for Iron Man remained. Despite the consistent demands, Marvel boss Kevin Feige once shared why the character of Iron Man needed to be put down with no possibility of a proper comeback.
