James Gunn Won’t Bring Back Iron Man

But why!

Well, we were all hoping to see Iron Man/ Tony Stark on our marvel movies again but it doesn’t seem like it will happen anytime soon! Of course, Robert Downey Jr.’s contract had ended but there were chances that he would reprise his role in flashback scenes. But it will not happen in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3. Why? James Gunn.

The director of the upcoming movie shares that he is really not interested in bringing the role of Iron Man back. Not even if some other actor plays the role. Well, that’s depressing. But James Gunn has his reasons. The director thinks that Iron Man’s arc in the Marvel Cinematic Universe was beautifully executed. He does not think there is a reason for the MCU to bring Iron Man back.

James Gunn wasn’t shading Robert Downey Jr.!

The revelation came during his famous Instagram Q & A Sessions.

A fan asked him this:

Are you interested in bringing Iron Man back?

To which James Gunn replied:

“Nope. I think Downey’s arc was great, and he’s an amazing Iron Man”

We may not have Iron Man but we have so many other MCU characters!

Even though we won’t see the beloved character of Tony Stark, we still have so many other characters to look forward to. There’s Loki in the upcoming Disney+ Series, Star-Lord in the Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3. Moreover, we’re going to see so many new characters played by Kumail Nanjiani, Salma Hayek and Angelina Jolie in Eternals. Plus, how can we forget Shang-Chi’s all Asian line-up. I, for one, am pretty excited to see what’s in store for Marvel Phase 4. Even though we can’t see Iron Man again, he will forever be an important part of Marvel. Robert Downey Jr.’s first Iron Man back in 2008 is what led to the MCU after all.

The Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3 will be released in 2020. With Karen Gillan all excited about the script, we’re impatiently waiting for it. Apparently, it’s going to be big for Chris Pratt’s Star-Lord.
