What happened after Tony Stark died?
MCU Phase 4 Confirms Tony Stark Has An Afterlife
The fallout of Iron Man's death in Avengers: Endgame also changed in Phase 4, thanks to the MCU's exploration of the afterlife. Moon Knight provided a glimpse of the afterlife, according to Egyptian mythology, as Marc Spector passed through the Field of Reeds.
Iron Man was retired in 2019's Avengers: Endgame, when he sacrificed himself to defeat Thanos' army. Stark has remained away from the MCU since, but Riri Williams (Dominique Thorne) is now set to take his place in the franchise.
Summary. Tom Cruise was considered for the role of Iron Man but was not chosen because his asking fee at the time was too high for the studio to risk on an untested superhero property.
Chris Evans Isn't Returning to Marvel Any Time Soon, But “Never Say Never” The man once known as Captain America talks about resisting a “cash grab” sequel and why he agrees with Quentin Tarantino about Marvel movies in a new GQ profile.
Robert Downey Jr.'s Tony Stark returns from the dead in a new Iron Man 4 fan-made trailer. Ever since Avengers: Endgame, the Marvel Cinematic Universe has been going forward with new heroes.
Born on May 29, 1970, the iron avenger was 38 years old in his first movie, making him 50 as of 2021. However, as Avengers: Endgame was set in 2023, he would have been 53 when he sacrificed his life to beat Thanos.
However, according to the latest reports, the MCU has seemingly found a worthy 'replacement' for the superhero. According to reports, the MCU has confirmed, via 'Secret Invasion', that James Rhodes aka Rhodey, is the ideal replacement for Iron Man in the upcoming film Armor Wars which is slated for a 2026 release.
Yes, reports suggest that Robert Downey Jr. is expected to return as Tony Stark/Iron Man in Avengers: Secret Wars. While the original Tony Stark of Earth-616/199999 sacrificed himself, Marvel could use the Multiverse to bring RDJ back as a variant Tony Stark.
How Ironheart Can Replace Iron Man In The MCU. Black Panther: Wakanda Forever proved that Ironheart is a fitting replacement for Iron Man. Riri Williams and Tony Stark share many similarities. They are both inventors who attended MIT and built highly advanced armors.
It ultimately turned out to be just that: A rumor. Even though he didn't appear in the multiversal film, those rumors have persisted as fans have wondered if we could see him cameo in a future MCU film.
Evans doesn't completely deny the possibility of returning, but emphasizes the need for a perfect project. He values the Captain America role and would only consider a return if the opportunity is just right.
Though he didn't rule out an eventual return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Evans said there are no immediate plans for a reunion with his Avengers costars, and that it would take a very particular set of circumstances for him to play Steve Rogers again.
During an interview with Empire, Sebastian Stan stated that Bucky is not mentally prepared to continue Steve's legacy. Considering that Bucky has lost not just his family and best friend but is healing from practically 70s years of trauma, the pressure of being Captain America would naturally be suffocating.
Luckily, Downey never fully closed his doors about the possibility of returning to the MCU despite Iron Man's death in Avengers: Endgame, although he claims that he thinks he has done everything he could in the role. Considering his great working relationship with Marvel Studios, this is somewhat expected.
While Tony Stark is not the richest hero in all of movie history, his net worth of $12.4 billion is higher than Bruce Wayne's and one of the highest net worths in movie history.
Biography. Inspired by Tony Stark, AKA Iron Man, and determined to follow in his heroic footsteps, fifteen-year-old super-genius Riri Williams builds her own suit of advanced armor and leads a life of adventure, crime-fighting, and humanitarianism as the Super Hero known as Ironheart.
Tony Stark's best friend, James Rhodes, is one of the few to wear the Iron Man armor, other than Tony Stark himself. Although he initially took on the role when Stark was dealing with his demons, Rhodes has reprised the role over the years.
While it was expected that at least one big character would die in Endgame, Iron Man's death came as a big surprise, and it was such an emotional scene that it earned a place in MCU history as one of its most tragic moments.
