Robert Downey Jr’s innings as Iron Man has ended, according to Kevin Feige. That is the update the Marvel Studios president shared during a recent event for fans who have been hoping for the resurrection of Tony Stark, after he died in Avengers: Endgame (2019). “We are going to keep that moment and not touch it again,” Feige maintained when asked if Downey would return in his superhero avatar in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). He added, “We all worked very hard for many years to get to that, and we would never want to magically undo it in any way.”
Endgame director Joe Russo has also been quoted saying that the film’s cast and crew “bid said tearful goodbyes on the last day of shooting” the movie. “Everybody had moved on emotionally,” he said. “We promised [Downey] it would be the last time we made him do it—ever.” His brother, co-director Anthony Russo, added that it was “difficult” for the actor to return to pick up his final line as Stark. “When he did come back, we were shooting on a stage directly opposite where he auditioned for Tony Stark. So his last line [as Tony Stark] was shot literally a couple hundred feet from his original audition that got him the role,” Anthony said.
