Robert Downey Jr. Would ‘Happily’ Return to Marvel After Oscar Win; Gwyneth Paltrow Says He’d Throw Out ‘Iron Man’ Lines and Go: ‘I’m Not F—ing Saying These’


Robert Downey Jr. would "happily" return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe because "it's too integral a part of my DNA."

Speaking to Esquire magazine after his Oscar win for “Oppenheimer” last month, Downey was asked if he would ever return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe now that he is officially an Academy Award winner. Feige, the president of Marvel Studios, told Vanity Fair last December that Downey’s Iron Man will not return as it would ruin his perfect exit in “Avengers: Endgame.” Elsewhere during his Esquire cover story, Downey’s longtime Marvel co-star Gwyneth Paltrow remembered how he would just throw out lines of dialogue before each day of filming on the “Iron Man” movies.
