According to Variety, the billboard was placed in Los Angeles, USA, funded by a group of fans who wanted to express their love and nostalgia for Iron Man, while also calling on Marvel to consider bringing the character back in the future. Notably, this campaign coincides with the two-year anniversary of the blockbuster Avengers: Endgame‘s release in the U.S., making it a significant moment for the fan community.

Avengers: Endgame marked the end of Phase 3 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, where billionaire character Tony Stark (a.k.a. Iron Man) sacrificed himself to save humanity from the invasion of Thanos and the Chitauri army. The film paid tribute to Tony Stark with an emotional memorial scene, but it seems many fans are still not over the death of their beloved superhero.
Marvel Has No Plans for Resurrection
Despite the fans’ commendable efforts, Marvel Studios currently has no plans to bring Iron Man back to the big screen. The studio is focused on Phase 4, introducing new characters like Black Widow, Scarlet Witch, Shang-Chi, and Loki. Additionally, Robert Downey Jr. has confirmed that he has completed his journey with Iron Man and will not return to the role.
Robert Downey Jr.’s Statement
Regarding the possibility of reprising his role as Iron Man, Robert Downey Jr. stated: “I’ve had an incredible and fulfilling 10-year journey. I gave my all to Iron Man, and now it’s time to do other things. As I move into middle age, I feel very honored and lucky to have been associated with such a wonderful character.”
The actions of the fans demonstrate that the love for Iron Man remains strong. Will Marvel listen to the fans’ voices and revive Tony Stark in the future? Let’s wait and see!
