Robert Downey Jr. confirmed in a recent interview that he is done playing Iron Man after his character’s demise in Avengers: Endgame.
Iron Man’s death in Avengers: Endgame wasn’t a huge surprise to many given Robert Downey Jr.’s ten Marvel Cinematic Universe appearances. Nonetheless, there have been rumors that Robert Downey Jr. will appear in Black Widow thanks to a deleted scene from Captain America: Civil War.
While promoting Dolittle, Robert Downey Jr. has inevitably been asked about whether or not he will play Iron Man or Tony Stark ever again. While speaking with Parade, Robert Downey Jr. only had this to say regarding an Iron Man return:
“The war for me is over. I personally have alighted to greener pastures. There’s been two times where I’ve gone into a feverish-almost-like-a-waking dream in prep for something. It’s not so much that I related to him as much as I just presumed that it was my destiny to build this character around all of my experiences.”
