New York, USA:
Robert Downey Jr. confirmed that he won’t be returning to the Marvel Cinematic universe.
According to the news report’s the Iron Man star was asked about any upcoming plan’s within the Marvel Cinematic Universe while on the ‘SmartLess’ podcast to which Robert Downey gave the confirmation that he is finished with Tony Stark and Iron Man.
The 55 year old actor was asked by Host Jason Bateman asked about his professional and personal life. On being questioned “I’m assuming that the Marvel thing is at a slower speed now… or you’re done with that now?”
Downey Jr replied: “That’s all done.”
In an interview with Extra TV alongside his wife Susan he was asked if there was a chance of a comeback, to which he replied: “Yeah, anything could happen. I’m really enjoying-”
Downey Jr, whose character died in Avengers Endgame the last movie of the Marvel Cinematic Universe Series, continued: “As far as I’m concerned, I hung up my guns and I’m good to let it go. I also think Marvel is on this journey now and they’re trying a bunch of other stuff, and I’m excited for them to see how all that goes. It’s hard to project.”
And this appearance wouldn’t necessarily make what he said in the “SmartLess” podcast as a false statement, as Downey Jr only talked about upcoming commitments, not stuff he’s already filmed.
Downey first played Tony Stark in 2008’s Iron Man, the first film in the MCU. His apparent last major appearance as the character came in 2019’s Avengers: Endgame. Robert’s character Iron Man is extremely popular among Avengers lovers and fans will surely miss Iron Man in Marvel Universe. Although, he will be seen in other projects. Till then let’s wait.
