Avengers Secret Wars: Robert Downey Jr speaks out if he'll make Iron Man return
Avengers Secret Wars is rumoured to have Robert Downey Jr cameo as Iron Man and now the Tony Stark star has spoken out on if he plans to make a Marvel return.
Robert Downey Jr reveals what it would take for Iron Man return
Iron Man may have died at the end of Marvel's Avengers Endgame but it’s still possible he can return.
The MCU has embraced time travel and the multiverse so speculation is rife that he’ll play a variant like Hugh Jackman’s Logan in Deadpool and Wolverine and Tom Hiddleston’s god of mischief in Loki.
Now the 59-year-old has been questioned on the matter during a joint interview with Jodie Foster.
For Variety, she asked him: “Would you think of putting the suit back on again for Tony Stark?”
Downey Jr replied: “It’s just crazily in my DNA. Probably the most like-me character I’ve ever played, even though he’s way cooler than I am. I’ve become surprisingly open-minded to the idea. Between Nyad and [Night Country] and, for me, Oppenheimer and then Sympathizer, it really is crazy because we look pretty good. I was actually looking at the stills we were taking, making sure: ‘Do we still look kind of OK?’ I’m like, ‘We look pretty good.’”
The star made similar positive comments back in April.

Asked if he’s like to return as Iron Man, Downey Jr told Esquire: “Happily. It’s too integral a part of my DNA. That role chose me. And look, I always say, Never, ever bet against Kevin Feige. It is a losing bet. He’s the house. He will always win.”
Sounds like it’s pretty likely to happen then.
