Robert Downey Jr. Turned Down Iron Man Cameo in ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ After Reading Scene; Writers Also Had an Idea to Bring the Six Original Avengers Back
Robert Downey Jr. was courted to return as Tony Stark/Iron Man in 'Deadpool and Wolverine,' but he turned the offer down.
“Deadpool & Wolverine” co-writers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick revealed in an interview with IndieWire that Robert Downey Jr. was courted to reprise Tony Stark/Iron Man for a cameo appearance in Marvel’s latest record-breaking blockbuster. Downey turned the offer down, which now makes sense to the writers as he’s returning to Marvel in a larger and shockingly different capacity as Doctor Doom. The scene in question is towards the beginning of “Deadpool & Wolverine.” Ryan Reynolds’ Merc with a Mouth has used Cable’s time machine to jump over to The Sacred Timeline in order to pitch himself for a spot in the Avengers lineup.
