Robert Downey Jr. has revealed what it would take for him to return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Iron Man.
There is no question that Robert Downey Jr.’s performance as Tony Stark/Iron Man was one of the big contributing factors to the MCU’s success, especially in the early days of the franchise.
Stark died in Avengers: Endgame, signalling the end of the actor’s time in the MCU. But what would it take for him to return to the role? Well, he answered this question during a recent interview with Joe Rogan on his podcast:
“To me, starting up again is off the table. I feel like I’ve done all I could with that character. There would have to be a super compelling argument and a series of events that made it obvious. But the other thing is, I wanna do other stuff.”
