Did RDJ tease his MCU return?
Though many though Downey's MCU days were done in a post Avengers: Endgame world, the actor surprisingly said he's "open-minded" to a return as a recently as June.
"It's just crazily in my DNA. Probably the most like-me character I've ever played, even though he's way cooler than I am," Downey said in a Variety video last month. "I've become surprisingly open-minded to the idea... It really is crazy because we look pretty good. I was actually looking at the stills we were taking, making sure: "Do we still look kind of OK?" I'm like, 'We look pretty good.'"
In a separate interview, Downey revealed he'll never bet against Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige and his dedication to the franchise he oversees. "I always say: Never, ever bet against Kevin Feige. It is a losing bet. He's the house. He will always win."
Earlier in the panel, Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige confirmed the cast of The Fantastic Four: First Steps would be appearing in both Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars, including Reed Richards/Mister Fantastic (Pedro Pascal), Susan Storm/Invisible Woman (Vanessa Kirby), Johnny Storm/Human Torch (Joseph Quinn), and Ben Grimm/the Thing (Ebon Moss-Bachrach)
Marvel Studios' upcoming film slate includes Captain America: Brave New World (February 14th, 2025), Thunderbolts* (May 5th, 2025), The Fantastic Four: First Steps (July 25th, 2025), Blade (November 7th, 2025), Avengers: Doomsday (May 1st, 2026), and Avengers: Secret Wars (May 7th, 2027).
