This Marvel character won’t be coming back: ‘We’re going to save this moment and not touch it again’

Warning, spoilers! The following article will reveal the main elements of Avengers: Endgame.

Robert Downey Jr. has expressed his desire to reprise his role as Iron Man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. There’s a small problem, though: his character is indeed dead at the end of Avengers: Endgame.

Speaking to GamesRadar during the Sands: International Film Festival, which took place in Scotland at the end of April, the feature film’s brother directors, Joe and Anthony Russo, were still confused by the idea of ​​the hero’s return.

“I don’t know how they would behave“, he said Anthony Russo. “I don’t know how to get there.“

“I mean, we closed that book, so it’s up to them how to open it“, he added Joe Russo.

Marvel boss Kevin Feige, meanwhile, denied claims he was considering bringing back Iron Man. This time, speaking to Vanity Fair, he said that the studio can’t “Magically undoneDeath of Tony Stark The last game.

“We are going to cherish this moment and never touch it again“, he said. “We’ve all worked for this goal for many years and we didn’t want to magically undo it.“

But fans found a way to bring it back!

One way to achieve this? Fans have already found it! According to the latest theories circulating on the Internet, Iron Man could return in the post-credits scene of the third installment of the adventures of Deadpool, Deadpool & Wolverine, which marks the debut of the superhero in the Marvel Universe.

According to the theory in question, Deadpool would go back in time and prevent Tony Stark from being killed. Instead, it will be Deadpool snapping his fingers and surviving, bringing Iron Man back into the MCU.

If we consider the words Kevin Feige, so we can assume that this theory would be just wishful thinking of nostalgic fans. However, the Marvel boss made the same remark about Hugh Jackman’s return to the Wolverine skin, which will happen for him.

As he reveals in a new interview with Empire, Kevin Feige Initially opposed to the actor’s return to his iconic role after Logan (2017).

“MI said, ‘Don’t come back… you had the best ending with Logan. It’s not something we should cancel.’“

And yet it was “cancelled”. Will Tony Stark die? Doubt is allowed now.

What about “superhero fatigue” then?

We talk a lot about this “superhero fatigue.” We must admit that since then The last gameWith its excellent reviews and box office prowess – the film became the highest-grossing of all time from July 2019 to March 2021 – no “superhero” project has had such success since.

But the fifth phase of the MCU has not only experienced failures: before that, the studio presented several successful projects, such as Guardians of the Galaxy 3 or the Loki series, what if…? and echo. However, critics had a field day with Secret Invasion and The Marvels, the latter a failure at the box office. Despite this, the Russo brothers don’t believe superhero fatigue is the cause.

Anthony Russo told GamesRadar that the problems facing Marvel have nothing to do with superhero fatigue.

“I think it’s just fatigue in general. The issue of superhero fatigue existed before the work we were doing“, he explained. “So it’s kind of a perennial claim, like we always said when we first started doing superhero stuff. People complained the same way about Westerns, but it went on for decades and decades and decades. They were constantly reinvented and brought to new heights as they evolved.“

Anthony Russo It’s probably true: the “superhero” genre won’t necessarily be contested, and it’ll be more of a desire to see these stories.

Joe RussoHe has his own theory:The new generation says, “I want now, I want to analyze now,” and then they move on to the next thing, which they analyze and do two other things at the same time. As you know, this is a very different moment in time that has never happened before. So I think everybody, including Marvel, is going through the same thing, this transition. And I think that’s probably what’s at stake more than anything else.“

answer with Deadpool & Wolverine : Will the film succeed in reinventing the genre and will it be a success for Marvel? With its more comedic and irreverent tone, perhaps… and to find out if Iron Man returns, see you in theaters on July 24th!
