While Iron Man’s heroic sacrifice in Avengers: Endgame seemed definitive, whispers of his return are getting louder.Here’s why a comeback might be on the horizon:
- The Multiverse Makes Anything Possible: Marvel is diving deep into the multiverse concept, allowing for alternate versions of characters to exist. This paves the way for Iron Man’s (Robert Downey Jr.) return without diminishing his original sacrifice.
- Lessons from Gamora and Loki: The successful resurrections of Gamora (Zoe Saldana) and Loki (Tom Hiddleston) as variants demonstrate the audience’s openness to this approach.
- Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine Leap: Deadpool 3 will introduce a Wolverine variant from the Fox Universe, further solidifying the multiverse and its potential for character crossovers.
- Robert Downey Jr.’s Changing Tune: After years of denials, Downey Jr. has shown increased openness to revisiting Iron Man. He even hints at “never betting against Kevin Feige,” implying potential future collaborations.
- Secret Wars: The Stage is Set: Rumors suggest Avengers: Secret Wars might be the ultimate Marvel crossover event, uniting popular characters like Iron Man, Spider-Man, the X-Men, and more. This could be the perfect platform for Iron Man’s return.
So, will we see Iron Man again? Only time will tell. But with the multiverse’s infinite possibilities and Downey Jr.’s newfound openness, an Iron Man return seems more likely than ever.
Additional Points:
- Chris Evans’ potential return as a younger Captain America further strengthens the argument for a multiversal Avengers team-up.
- Black Widow’s return remains uncertain, but the multiverse opens doors for a potential comeback.
