A claim that emerged in November had Marvel fans very excited. In the claim made by Variety, it was claimed that Marvel wanted to reassemble the original Avengers team, but the costs forced them. This meant that Robert Downey Jr. could reappear as Iron Man and Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow.
Today, a statement came directly from Marvel’s boss on this issue. Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige clarified whether Robert Downey Jr. will return in an interview with Vanity Fair.
According to Feige, Robert Downey Jr. will not return: “We will not touch that moment again”
Feige put an end to the discussion in the interview and stated that Robert Downey Jr. will never return as Iron Man again. Referring to the Endgame movie in which Iron Man died, the Marvel executive added that they had been working on it for years and that they would not touch that moment again:
“We will preserve that moment and never touch it again. “We’ve all worked hard over the years to achieve this and we wouldn’t want to take that back in any way.”
Feige did not make any statements about the other Avengers members. However, this interview does not say “The original Avengers will return.” It is possible to say that he denies his allegations. It is unclear whether Scarlett Johansson will return. However, the famous actress confirmed in a previous interview that we will see her again, saying that she will star in an MCU project in the future, about which no details are available yet.
