We’re just a few days away from the Deadpool 3 premiere. The sequel will present us how Marvel introduced Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) to the MCU with out ruining the character’s arc within the Fox Marvel films. The Wolverine from that story died in Logan, and that dying is everlasting. We all know that from each the Deadpool & Wolverine trailers and Marvel’s feedback.
After we lastly see that on the display, we’ll instantly perceive how Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.) can return to Avengers 5 and Secret Wars with out really ruining the ending of Endgame. Come to think about it, Endgame and Loki are all you must see to determine Marvel’s line of pondering for resurrecting useless heroes.
Whereas it’s solely a matter of time till RDJ returns to his iconic Iron Man position, we is perhaps in for an enormous shock, one which we didn’t essentially see coming. That’s based on an insider’s scoop on the actor’s return in future Avengers films.
Earlier than we have a look at it, I’ll inform you that massive spoilers observe beneath, together with a Deadpool 3 element from the trailers.
How Marvel resurrects superheroes
As I stated earlier than, Endgame and Loki are all you must perceive what Marvel does with useless superheroes. Within the former, we received a special Gamora (Zoe Saldana) and a special Thanos (Josh Brolin) than these belonging to the primary MCU actuality. Gamora died in Infinity Battle, and Earth-616’s Thanos received killed early in Endgame.
Then Loki gave us a special Loki variant as an alternative of the Loki (Tom Hiddleston) we misplaced in Infinity Battle. All these instances show that Marvel received’t resurrect the useless characters. As a substitute, we’ll get totally different variations of them.
The Deadpool 3 trailers, particularly the ultimate one which Marvel premiered just a few days in the past, make it very clear. The Wolverine we’re getting hails from a special actuality. One the place Wolverine didn’t change into the world-saving hero the X-Males wanted. As a substitute, he turned out to be a disappointment. Kevin Feige additionally confirmed this Wolverine is a special variant than the Fox model. The Fox Wolverine died in Logan.
Again to Iron Man, it’s not a query of if Robert Downey Jr. is coming again, however when he’s coming again. That’s, will we see Downey in Avengers 5, or will now we have to attend for him till Secret Wars? I hope the reply is that we’ll get him to look in each films. But when the latest RDJ rumor is correct, we’d get an enormous plot twist.
Robert Downey Jr.’s Iron Man turned Physician Doom?
It received’t essentially be the Iron Man from this actuality that’s coming again. Effectively, I can see how the MCU’s Avengers would possibly wish to return to the previous of this timeline to seize Iron Man actual fast to assist the Avengers battle an enormous menace: A unique Tony Stark model that’s gone considerably villainous in a special actuality. However I’m simply speculating right here.
Jeff Sneider has heard (by way of Display Rant) that Robert Downey Jr. would possibly come again to the MCU as a Stark variant who turned Physician Doom in his world. Sneider acknowledged that insiders don’t help his info, nonetheless:
Talking of Physician Doom, there’s nonetheless no phrase but about his casting in Improbable 4, as insiders denied my inquiry about Robert Downey Jr., who I used to be advised would possibly come again as an alternate-universe Tony Stark who turns into Physician Doom as an alternative of Iron Man. It appears far-fetched, sure, however I figured that if there was any hope of Downey coming again, there’d need to be a brand new wrinkle for him to play. So, for now, we proceed to attend…
Whether or not Sneider’s scoop is correct or not, do not forget that RDJ met Marvel to play a special Physician Doom a few years in the past. That was earlier than he turned the Tony Stark all of us love.
As Display Rant explains, there’s precedent for one of these storyline within the comics. In Notorious Iron Man, Victor Von Doom turned Iron Man. What if we’ll get the alternative within the MCU? Tony Stark would change into Physician Doom as an alternative of Iron Man in his actuality.
That’s not a assure that RDJ would change into a villain. He could possibly be extra of an antihero that may battle the Avengers initially. And that’s actually what I’d wish to see extra of. We might get a type of sequel to Captain America: Civil Battle. This Iron Man variant would haven’t any cause to actually pull again punches. There will probably be no love between him and the primary actuality’s Avengers.
Having Downey play a very totally different model of Tony Stark would even be a terrific problem for the actor. It’ll be fairly a sight for MCU followers as effectively.
I’ll additionally remind you of a idea I’ve had for a number of years, ever since rumors stated that Tom Cruise would possibly play an Iron Man variant in Physician Unusual within the Multiverse of Insanity. What if it’s Downey who performs that Iron Man variant?
After Physician Unusual (Benedict Cumberbatch) and Wanda (Elizabeth Olsen) wreaked havoc in that actuality, who might blame that model of Iron Man for wanting to search out the Earth-616 Avengers and get his revenge?
In spite of everything, that is an Iron Man who has all the time been profitable in defending that actuality. He should be far more boastful, having by no means skilled loss.
Now, I can’t assist however marvel if the Iron Man of that actuality isn’t really a model of Physician Doom the place Doom was a part of the Illuminati, at the very least for that actuality. And what if the Avengers want the Iron Man who died in Endgame to battle this Physician Doom?
