Robert Downey Jr. Would ‘Happily’ Return to Marvel, but His ‘Avengers’ Directors Say ‘We Closed That Book’ on Iron Man After ‘Endgame’ Death

There’s only one hiccup: Iron Man died in 2019’s “Avengers: Endgame.” But the MCU’s ever-expanding multiverse certainly leaves the door open for Downey’s return (just look at Hugh Jackman, who is back playing a different iteration of Wolverine in this summer’s “Deadpool and Wolverine” after his original X-Men hero died in “Logan.”) In a recent interview with GamesRadar+, “Avengers: Endgame” directors Joe and Anthony Russo expressed some confusion over Downey’s Iron Man popping back up in the MCU after they killed the character off so heroically in their record-breaking film.
