‘Avengers Assemble!’ Robert Downey Jr May Return As Iron Man For MCU & We Can’t Keep Calm
With Marvel Cinematic Universe really not living up to fans’ expectations recently with movies like Doctor Strange 2, Eternals and so many others, the latest Phase of the MCU wasn’t really considered that successful, and clearly, they do miss some of the older stars.
Up till 2019, Marvel did really well with Robert Downey Jr’s Iron Man and Chris Evans’ Captain America leading the pack.
However, since then, things haven’t really gone to plan.
Honestly, it feels like a lifetime since Iron Man fans actually saw Robert Downey Jr as their favourite Avenger.
The actor retired from the role after Endgame with his character sacrificing himself for the good of the world.
However, since his departure, there seems to be a lot going wrong.
Well, it looks like he may well be returning as the main Avenger!
That’s right!
Downey Jr may be returning as Iron Man.
However, not for the movies but for the second season of What If!
It was revealed that he may be making his comeback by voicing in What If…? Season 2.
Now, speaking on Joe Rogan’s podcast The Joe Rogan Experience, Robert Downey Jr spoke on a possible comeback to the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
“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.”
As you’d know, the new Phase of MCU is already underway with some promising films like Avengers: Secret Wars, Avengers: Kang Dynasty, we feel there may still be hope.
Not just that.
Marvel Games is actually teaming up with Motive Studio to collaborate on an all-new single-player, third-person, action-adventure Iron Man video game, which will be out for fans in the future.
The game, which is in early development, will feature an original narrative that taps into the rich history of Iron Man.
In the game, players can play as Tony Stark as well as Iron Man, which would really be a very cool thing, if we are honest.
There is a dedicated team of passionate industry veterans including the likes of Ian Frazier, Maëlenn Lumineau, and JF Poirier at the Montreal-based studio, who are working on the game.
“We are thrilled to collaborate with the talented team at Motive Studio to bring their original vision of one of Marvel’s most important, powerful, and beloved characters,”
“Their experience delivering both established entertainment worlds and thrilling gameplay—combined with their authentic passion for the armored icon—will fuel our quest to deliver a love letter to a legendary hero in the form of the ultimate Iron Man video game,” said Bill Rosemann, Vice President and Creative Director at Marvel Games.
“It’s an honor and privilege to have the opportunity to make a video game based on one of the most iconic Super Heroes in entertainment today,”
“We have a great opportunity to create a new and unique story that we can call our own. Marvel is encouraging us to create something fresh. We have a lot of freedom, which is so engaging for the team.” said Olivier Proulx, Executive Producer.
The game is currently in the pre-production phase.
