Kevin Feige just revealed when Iron Man’s replacement will debut in the MCU

There is no Marvel Cinematic Universe without Robert Downey Jr.’s depiction of Tony Stark. Iron Man is the movie that made the entire MCU possible. And Iron Man is the superhero who made everyone forget about all the other heroes out there. The world stopped caring about Spider-Men, Batman, and Superman once Stark’s Iron Man appeared. The hero got a fitting, heartbreaking death in Endgame, leading the Avengers to the kind of victory he always hoped for. But he didn't survive that final battle and now we need a replacement.

Iron Man might have died in the MCU, but we have reason to believe he’ll be back in multiple forms. It’s What If…? that will bring us a different Tony Stark variant in the coming weeks. There are also rumors of other Tony Starks that RDJ might portray in the future. But nothing is confirmed at this time. The best Iron Man replacement is Ironheart (Dominique Thorne) right now. And Kevin Feige just confirmed that she will appear in the Marvel universe before her Disney Plus show debuts.
