Is Robert Downey Jr Returning as Iron Man in Black Widow Movie?

Robert Downey Jr is returning to the Marvel Cinematic Universe sooner than we expected.

Downey will be seen reprising the role of Tony Stark aka Iron Man one more time in the prequel Black Widow, which will release in 2020, reports Deadline.com

Downey’s character was last seen by fans at the end of Avengers: Endgame after Iron Man sacrificed himself in the fight against Thanos.

The film will be a prequel taking place ahead of the fatal events of Endgame; both characters died in the film. It’s unknown how big his role in the film will be, but it’s reassuring to know fans will get one final chance to say goodbye.

Black Widow is set after the events of Captain America: Civil War but before the events of Avengers: Infinity War. The film will trace the story of Romanoff, who will confront her past.

While it’s unclear if Downey would return for even a small appearance in the upcoming Marvel film, he has been outspoken about leaving his mantle after a decade of portraying Tony Stark.

“I had an incredible ten-year run that was creatively satisfying,” he said while on the Off Camera Show in July. “It was very, very, very hard work and I dug very deep, but I have not been forced to explore the new frontier of what is my creative and personal life after this.”

He continued, “First thing you learn in theater arts. Aesthetic distance. I am not in this play I’m doing. I’m not a character in The Fantasticks. I’m not Will from Oklahoma. Aesthetic distance. It’s job one. I’m not my work. I’m not what I did with that studio. I’m not that period of time that I spent playing this character.”

“And it sucks because the kid in all of us wants to be like, ‘No! It’s always gonna be summer camp and we’re all holding hands and singing kumbaya. Isn’t it?’ It’s like, ‘no! Snap out of it.’”

A spokesperson for Disney had no comment.

It was recently reported that Downey Jr would lend his voice to a future Disney+ TV show.

Black Widow will also star Florence Pugh, Rachel Weisz and Stranger Things actor David Harbour. Australian filmmaker Cate Shortland, best known for Nazi drama Lore, directs.

Black Widow will be released on 1 May 2020.
