Robert Downey Jr. Explains Exactly How Iron Man Could Return in the MCU After All

Robert Downey Jr. Explains Exactly How Iron Man Could Return in the MCU After All


January 30, 2020
It doesn’t matter that Tony Stark died in Avengers: Endgame and received a hero’s funeral featuring almost every player of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Fans still want him back. And as fast and loose as the MCU plays with the laws of time and nature, it’s not out of the question. 
Granted, by this point, Downey probably wouldn’t return for anything other than a small role or a voiceover — but it might actually possible now that the multiverse has been introduced. 

The multiverse opens all kinds of doors for Iron Man

For many years, comic books have played with the idea of parallel universes known collectively as the multiverse – spheres of existence where one particular hero can live his or her life very differently from the classic story most casual fans know.
For many years, superhero movies and TV shows didn’t introduce the concept because (a) the technology wasn’t there and (b) there was a feeling that the multiverse might confuse fans. 
Now, however, the technology has obviously caught up, and so have the movies and TV shows. The CW Arrowverse shows have worked in multiverses for years, especially in The Flash.
The movies got in on the act when the freedom of animation made Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse feel thrilling and new, because it took Spidey’s familiar tale and told it many different ways. 
The Marvel Cinematic Universe brought up the multiverse in Spider-Man: Far From Home, and although the multiverse didn’t truly come into play there, it will obviously come around again, particularly since an upcoming Marvel film is called Dr. Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. So could Iron Man live again in another universe? 

Robert Downey Jr rules nothing out

Screen Rant discussed the idea in a piece earlier this month, which quotes Downey himself as trying to have it both ways. He said:
“Yeah anything could happen, I’m really enjoying …as far as I’m concerned I’ve hung up my guns and I’m good to let it go. I also think that Marvel is on this journey now where they’re trying a bunch of other stuff. I’m excited for them to see how all of that goes.”
So in other words, that sounds like Downey is saying “Probably not, but definitely maybe.” In other words, never say never, but don’t hold your breath. Sean Connery once said he would never again appear as James Bond once he gave up the part in 1971, but he did indeed reprise the role 12 years later with the knowingly titled Never Say Never Again.
There has also been speculation that Downey could lend his voice to an MCU project, whether that’s for Marvel’s animated What If … ?  series that will premiere on Disney+ next year, or whether he voices some kind of Jarvis-like artificial intelligence. 

Will ‘Dolittle’ force Tony Stark’s return? 

Speculation that Downey would become Tony Stark again after all increased after his troubled film Dolittle bombed at the box office. If Downey didn’t know it already, he found that his name alone can no longer sell a movie. The budget had ballooned to an estimated $175 million, and only a Marvel-like gross would have made the movie profitable. Not even the most optimistic fans were predicting that for Dolittle
Some say this means it’s much more likely that Downey will retreat to the safety net of Disney and Marvel. IMDB lists Downey as having a “rumored” part in Black Widow. If he is in that, it would make sense for two reasons.
First, since Black Widow is a prequel, Iron Man doesn’t have to cheat death to be in it. Second, it would be fitting for Downey to appear considering Black Widow made her debut in Iron Man 2. In that case, the multiverse wouldn’t be necessary at all.
No one should be placing any bets on Iron Man coming back, buy it might also be wise not to bet against it either. Let the chips fall where they may.

Avengers: Endgame will always be a special film for all the Marvel fans. The film had the union of all the superheroes of Marvel universe so far – From Captain America, Iron Man to Thor and Captain Marvel. But there are many more reasons why this 2019 release will be an important one.
In Avengers: Endgame, in the first half, we see Brie Larson’s character, Captain Marvel, in her long wavy hairstyle. However, as the film proceeds, her hairstyle is changed to shorter hair. A lot of fans were baffled with this transformation in her look for no reason at all. Well, we now got to know the reason behind the short hair.

As reported by Cinema Blend, for her look after 5 years, the makers were given several options as a new look to Captain Marvel. We saw many superheroes in the film looked a bit different than their appearances all the time. These different hairstyles for Brie Larson’s character were shared on Instagram by artist Andy Park. Andy not only designed the costume for our favourite superhero in the film, but he also gave interesting options for her hair.
He captioned the post, “After designing Captain Marvel’s costume for Avengers: Endgame I was asked to explore her hairstyle. I did more than these but here are a bunch I came up with. What would you pick? These were fun! #CaptainMarvel #AvengersEndgame #Avengers #conceptart #costumedesign #costume #illustrat #marvel #marvelstudios @brielarson #brielarson #hairstyle”.

Realme C3 launch date announced

Realme C3 launch date announced


We've been hearing about the Realme C3 for the past few weeks, and now we know that it's coming on February 6.
Realme's Indian branch has sent out invites to the media for the February 6 launch, which will start at 12:30 PM local time and will be live-streamed on Facebook and YouTube.
The company hasn't officially revealed the specs of the C3 yet, but the invite includes an image of the C3 which reveals it will feature a waterdrop notch display and vertically aligned dual cameras on the back. The image also confirms the Blue color for the C3.

Realme is also using the tagline "Entertainment Ka Superstar" to promote the C3, which translates to "superstar of entertainment", and this leads us to believe that the smartphone will pack a battery bigger than its predecessor.
Some might also expect a bump to a 1080p display, but since the C Series smartphones are entry-level, that's unlikely to happen.
With the launch just over a week away, you can expect Realme to drip-feed us with information about the C3 in the days leading to the official announcement.

Doctor Strange Channels Tony Stark To Forge The Ultimate Magical Weapon




WARNING: The following article contains spoilers for Doctor Strange: Surgeon Supreme #2 by Mark Waid, Kev Walker, Java Tartaglia and VC's Cory Petit, on sale Wednesday, Jan. 29.
Stephen Strange has gone from being merely a Sorcerer Supreme to adding "Surgeon Supreme" back to his impressive resume. A recent bargain with a demon restored the medical precision in his hands, meaning Doctor Strange can now go back to participating in his first profession as a surgeon.
Marvel Comics relaunched Doctor Strange's solo title to celebrate the occasion, naming it Doctor Strange: Surgeon Supreme. The first issue found Stephen working in a hospital again, though he had to make special arrangements in order to be given a job again. Doctor Strange is only called in for the operations no one else has the skills to perform, which means these operations mostly deal in the supernatural. However, even though he's the Sorcerer Supreme, that doesn't mean he uses magic inside an operating room. Magic always demands a price, and Doctor Strange doesn't want to risk one of his patients having to pay the price for its use.
