Robert Downey Jr. would return to Marvel Cinematic Universe as Tony Stark/Iron Man and appears in one or both of the Avengers films (Kang dynasty And Secret Wars). This is according to space circusauthoritative source when it comes to news related to the production of superheroes.
The return of Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark/Iron Man will be in the form of the Earth-838 variant we visited during Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness. The character will travel to Earth-616 to avenge the death of the Illuminati at the hands of Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch.
Scene after credits Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness explains for the first time a situation that may arise in later films. In it, you can see Clea (Charlize Theron) explaining to Strange that he staged the raid and that there will be consequences. Immediately afterwards, she invites him to join her in the Dark Dimension.
According to space circusThe appearance of Tony Stark/Iron Man later in the Marvel Cinematic Universe is undeniable. The only thing left, they explained, is Robert Downey Jr.’s confirmation to interpret the character’s variant.
Tony Stark or Morgan Stark?
One possibility of Tony Stark/Iron Man returning as a variant of Earth-838 is that it’s not Stark himself or Robert Downey Jr., but that it is Morgan Stark, his daughter. Who seems to avenge the destruction caused by the Scarlet Witch in his dimension.
The theory is interesting, as it could mean a meeting between Earth-838’s Morgan Stark and Earth-616’s, along with Pepper Potts, her mother, and even Riri Williams/Ironheart, who was introduced to the Marvel Cinematic Universe during Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.
At this point, all of these rumors and theories about the abilities of Marvel Cinematic Universe characters, including the return of Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark/Iron Man, are just rumors and theories. We’ll know who will and who won’t when Avengers: Kang Dynasty opens in theaters May 2, 2025 and Avengers: Secret Wars May 1, 2026. Although the latter can be divided into two parts.
