Could Iron Man return to the MCU? According to a new report, Robert Downey Jr. Has already signed on for a comeback.
The Marvel Cinematic Universe has been fractured by the arrival of the multiverse – both on and off screen. Since Avengers: Endgame, the franchise seems have struggled to meet the expectations of fans, which were at an all-time high at the conclusion of the Infinity Saga. Now, a new rumor has suggested one of their greatest lost assets could be about to make a comeback in the form of Robert Downey Jr.'s Iron Man.
There is not a day passes without outlandish rumors appearing online about what could be happening next in the biggest movie franchise in the world. This includes the introduction of obscure characters, new crossovers and the ever elusive Fantastic Four casting confirmation. While it is hard to differentiate the truth from the flights of fancy, there are occasionally rumors that seem to connect with more official reports, and this is the case with a new suggestion that Robert Downey Jr. is heading back to the MCU as Iron Man.
Internet scooper MyTimeToShineHello shared a post on X (formerly Twitter), claiming that Downey Jr. has already signed up to return to the MCU for a new project. While it does not give any further details on whether this will be as a variant of Iron Man or as his original character in a story that takes place in a branched multiverse reality, the claim comes hot on the heels of a detailed report by Variety suggesting a return for the original Avengers team.
