Iron Man fans may be disappointed to hear that Robert Downey Jr. is no longer a part of future Avengers projects, according to a Marvel executive.
In a recent statement, the executive revealed that Downey Jr.’s character, Tony Stark/Iron Man, is no longer being considered for inclusion in upcoming Avengers films.
Downey Jr. played the beloved superhero for over a decade, appearing in several Marvel Cinematic Universe films, including the Avengers franchise. However, his character was killed off in the 2019 film “Avengers: Endgame.”
The decision not to include Downey Jr. in future Avengers projects is not entirely surprising, as Marvel has been focusing on introducing new characters and storylines in recent years. The studio has also been exploring different avenues for storytelling, including Disney+ series such as “WandaVision” and “The Falcon and The Winter Soldier.”
While fans may be disappointed not to see Downey Jr. reprise his role as Iron Man, they can still look forward to upcoming Marvel projects featuring a diverse range of characters and actors.
Overall, the decision to move on from Downey Jr.’s character is a reflection of Marvel’s commitment to innovation and keeping their storytelling fresh and exciting for audiences.
