After the incredible run of the character in the Infinity Saga while undergoing a beautiful journey and sacrificing himself for humanity, fans are now adamant to see the actor return in the next big Avengers showdown and face the biggest threat in the multiverse.
Considering the character’s arc is complete and isn’t left with any loopholes, it would require some adequate writing to bring the character back in the next Avengers meetup without ruining the emotional investment that people have for his final encounter with Thanos.
Although in a podcast with Joe Rogan, Robert Downey Jr clarified that he was done with the role and did everything that he could with the character and is now looking to move forward. But the actor didn’t completely rule out the possibility of his return after the heartbreaking Avengers: Endgame climax, as he went on to state,
“There would have to be a super compelling argument and a series of events that made it obvious. But the other thing is, I wanna do other stuff.”

Even though a full return of the character is a bit far-fetched but considering that Marvel is bringing back Hugh Jackman in the upcoming Deadpool sequel after his swansong in Logan, the return of Robert Downey Jr in the future is possible with a little cameo or maybe a different variant that and the brilliant concept poster could turn to reality.
Avengers: The Kang Dynasty will hit theatres on 2 May 2025.
