Robert Downey Jr. played Iron Man for the last time in Avengers: Endgame. Fans knew that Tony Stark’s death was coming, but they were still shocked when he sacrificed himself to save the universe from Thanos. Many people predicted that RDJ would want to come back as Iron Man one day, and it seems they were right because Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige recently discussed bringing him back in MCU’s “Avengers: Secret Wars”. Tony Stark is the biggest character in the MCU, so we’re excited to see him back in action. Hopefully, Marvel Studios is planning to bring back Tony Stark in a big way.
Who is Iron Man?
Tony Stark is the alter ego of billionaire playboy industrialist and genius inventor Tony “Iron Man” Stark, who is frequent, but not always a recognizable character in the Marvel Universe. While his armor and weapons are specially designed to contain his excesses of egotism, violent temper, arrogance, and grandstanding, Tony’s fictional alter ego is as much a reflection of his creator as that creator’s desire to have a superhero who “makes him feel like a god.”
The character was created in 1963 by writer-editor Stan Lee, scripter Larry Lieber and artists Don Heck and Jack Kirby, as a wealthy industrialist playboy who is the alter ego of the superhero. The character’s name is a play on “Anthony Stark”, and his original costume was a bulky gray armor suit. A subsequent redesign turned the suit into an iconic high-tech battle suit of iron.
Why is Iron Man so important in Marvel Cinematic Universe?
Tony Stark is the main character of the MCU. He was the first Marvel superhero created by Stan Lee, who was also responsible for creating most other Marvel superheroes and many other characters as well. Tony Stark is very popular, and it’s safe to say that if he didn’t exist, most people wouldn’t even know about Stan Lee or his comics. Therefore, Iron Man made a big impact on society as a whole.

Is there any plot for Iron Man 4?
The plot of Iron Man 4 is unknown, but there are a lot of theories. Some fans think Marvel Studios is building up to Secret Wars which might be the next phase in MCU. This also means that Tony Stark might get new armor and fight Thanos again as Iron Man. Other fans speculate that he could come back as Doctor Strange’s master, who was named Tony Stark in the comics at one point in time.
Who else join Avengers: Secret Wars?
Kit Harrington‘s Black Knight character also appears in Avengers: Secret Wars. It is the first time Kit to be part of a big film. After the “Games of Thorne”, Kit is seen in the Marvel movie “Eternals”. And then it’s confirmed that he plays Black Knight in the Marvel universe.
Release date of Avengers: Secret Wars
The new phase of the Marvel Cinematic Universe will start with Avengers: Secret Wars which was released on 1 May 2026. It’s presumed that the next phase of events will begin after this film. However, it’s a safe bet to assume that there will be at least one more Phase of Movies after Avengers: Secret Wars.
In the Conclusion,
Any RDJ Fans would have been overjoyed to hear that RDJ is up and at ‘em again, so it’s good to know that he could return to the MCU as Iron Man one day. RDJ said that he loved playing Iron Man and will always be drawn back to the role. After it was confirmed that RDJ will return to the MCU, now we wait and see how the Iron Man 4 Plot would work out.
