Earlier this month, Robert Downey Jr. expressed his willingness to return to Marvel despite the fact that his signature character, Tony Stark/Iron Man, perished in Avengers: Endgame. During a recent interview with Total Film, Endgame directors Anthony and Joe Russo shared their skeptical response to Downey’s desire to make a MCU comeback.
“I don’t know how they would do it,” said Anthony Russo. “I don’t know what the road to that would be [laughs].”
“I mean, we closed that book,” added Joe Russo. “So it would be up to them to figure out how to reopen it.”
