Hollywood star Robert Downey Jr will not be coming back as Iron Man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, says Kevin Feige.

바카라œWe are going to keep that moment and not touch that moment again,바카라 Feige told Vanity Fair in the Downey Jr. profile.

바카라œWe all worked very hard for many years to get to that, and we would never want to magically undo it in any way.바카라

Downey Jr. last played the role in 2019바카라™s 'The Avengers: Endgame' when the superhero died, reports deadline.com.

Fans of the MCU hoping Tony Stark would be resurrected in some form can forget about it.

Director Joe Russo added: 바카라œWe바카라™d already said tearful goodbyes on the last day of shooting. Everybody had moved on emotionally. We promised him it would be the last time we made him do it바카라”ever.바카라

Co-director Anthony Russo noted that for Downey Jr it was a 바카라œdifficult thing바카라 for him to say his last line as the superhero.

바카라œWhen he did come back, we were shooting on a stage directly opposite where he auditioned for Tony Stark. So his last line as Tony Stark was shot literally a couple hundred feet from his original audition that got him the role,바카라 Anthony said.

Downey Jr. has been the center of the MCU but Feige had to fight to cast the actor in the Iron Man role.

바카라œIt purely came down to the Marvel board being nervous at putting all of their chips in their future films on somebody who famously had those legal troubles in the past,바카라 Feige said.

바카라œI wasn바카라™t very good 바카라” and I바카라™m still not great 바카라” at taking no for an answer. But I also don바카라™t pound my chest to try to get my way. I try to figure out ways to make it as clear to other people why we should head in a direction. And that바카라™s when the idea of a screen test came up.바카라
