One possibility is that Downey Jr. could appear in a cameo role in an upcoming MCU film or television show. For example, he could appear in a flashback scene or in a multiverse scenario.
Another possibility is that Downey Jr. could voice Tony Stark in an animated MCU project, such as the What If…? series or the upcoming Disney+ series, Spider-Man: Freshman Year.
It is also possible that Downey Jr. could return as Iron Man in a future MCU film or television show. However, this seems unlikely, as Tony Stark’s death was a major part of his story and bringing him back could diminish its impact.
Ultimately, whether or not Robert Downey Jr. returns as Iron Man remains to be seen. However, MCU fans would certainly be excited if he did.
In addition to these possibilities, there are also reasons why Downey Jr. might not want to return as Iron Man. He may feel that he has played the role out and wants to move on to other projects. He may also be worried about returning to such a beloved role and not living up to expectations.
Only time will tell whether or not Robert Downey Jr. returns as Iron Man. However, there is no doubt that he is an important part of the MCU and his legacy will continue to live on for many years to come.
