Avengers: Secret Wars Rumored To Feature Marvel’s Most Emotional Reunion

In December 2023, after rumors surfaced that Robert Downey Jr. might be brought back to the MCU, Kevin Feige stated that Marvel would not resurrect Iron Man. The character’s death in «Avengers: Endgame» is one of the most impactful and memorable moments in the entire franchise, and undoing it would be tough to pull off satisfyingly. It’s also possible Downey may not be interested in playing the character again. His time in the MCU seems to be completely over and done with.

It’s also still uncertain whether or not Tom Holland will play Spider-Man again in the MCU, though recent rumors claim that a «Spider-Man 4» is in development with Zendaya also returning. Time will tell if that’s true or not.

Marvel Studios might not need either star to make a Spider-Man and Iron Man reunion happen. With the Multiverse now at the center of the franchise and a few years to go before the release of «Secret Wars,» there’s plenty of room to recast the roles and make them variants from other dimensions. Of course, that would kneecap some of the emotional weight of a reunion. The report from @MyTimeToShineH is vague in how the two characters will return. And though the source has been reliable before, this could be an idea that Marvel ultimately scraps.
