Russo Bros. and Robert Downey Jr. Were Already Working on a New Project When Marvel Called to Reunite: ‘Avengers: Doomsday’ Idea Is ‘Really Explosive’


The Russo Bros. and Robert Downey Jr were already working on a new project when Marvel called to reunite on two new "Avengers" movies.

“Why would we come back if we didn’t feel like we had a story that had that possibility of being on an equal footing with ‘Infinity War’ and ‘Endgame’ unless there’s a kernel there for an idea that’s really explosive?” Joe added. While the actor had said in interviews prior to Comic-Con that he was open to returning to Marvel, comic book movie fans naturally assumed that meant he would come back as Iron Man/Tony Stark. The character died at the end of “Endgame,” but the MCU is currently exploring the multiverse so it wouldn’t be out of the ordinary for Downey to play a different iteration of his beloved superhero.
