The Marvel Cinematic Universe said goodbye to the hero who started it all, Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr), in Avengers: Endgame, but with all the new concepts and more that Phase 4 has introduced so far, there are many theories on how Iron Man could return to the MCU in the near future. The MCU has become the most extensive connected universe in the world of superheroes, and it all started in 2008 with Jon Favreau’s Iron Man, which introduced the audience to Tony Stark and set the tone for subsequent movies. Iron Man ended up leading the Infinity Saga and the original Avengers team (alongside Captain America), and his final heroic act was saving the entire universe.
Over the course of a decade, viewers saw Tony Stark/Iron Man go from egocentric genius, billionaire, playboy, and philanthropist to an actual hero that left his ego behind and sacrificed himself to save the universe in Avengers: Endgame, where he took the Infinity Stones away from Thanos’ Infinity Gauntlet and used his nano gauntlet to vanish Thanos and his armies. The impact of Iron Man’s actions throughout the Infinity Saga continues to be felt, and with the MCU’s Phase 4 exploring the multiverse and its many possibilities and dangers, there have been a variety of theories on how Iron Man could return to this connected universe, and the announcements of Phase 5 and 6 have only fueled those theories.
