Robert Downey Jr. will reportedly return as Iron Man for Disney+. But, it may not quite be in the way you think. As fans know, Downey Jr.’s Tony Stark had a pretty conclusive ending for his story in Avengers: Endgame. Well, thanks to Disney+’s animated series, Marvel’s What If…?, you may not have heard the last of Downey Jr. as Tony Stark.
The actors will just be providing voices, since the series is animated. The What If…? series, based on the Marvel comics of the same name, will imagine what would happen if major MCU moments unfolded differently.
CNET sister site ComicBook.com reports the show’s first episode will envision Peggy Carter, not Steve Rogers, getting the Captain America Super Soldier Serum, and Steve Rogers instead donning a Howard Stark-built suit of armor.
Don’t expect to hear Downey’s wisecracking voice as Tony Stark again soon, though. What If…? won’t debut on Disney Plus until 2021.
