He is Iron Man.
After Robert Downey Jr.’s incredible tenure in the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Iron Man, it seems like he’s become the benchmark for all forms of the character across a number of mediums. But with the MCU edging closer and closer to the multiverse, alongside the fact that studios love to reboot a property, many have wondered if Marvel would ever recast the star as Tony Stark and Iron Man. His equally popular co-star Chris Evans recently explained that he doesn’t think that’ll happen.
During a virtual appearance at ACE Comic-Con, Chris Evans briefly touched on Robert Downey Jr.’s work in the Iron Man role, explaining that it’s not “like a James Bond or a Superman”. Downey truly made the role of Tony Stark his own due to his charismatic performance, which means it would be difficult for someone else to come in and cast a new spin on Iron Man after the character’s death in Avengers: Endgame. Take a look at Chris Evans discussing Robert Downey Jr.’s Iron Man below.
“I don’t consider that a role that’s gonna be like a James Bond or a Superman or Batman, that somehow other people get a bite at the apple. He’s Iron Man. The end”
