To return to success, Marvel could bring back former Avengers heads. And one of the actors, very popular with the public, is clearly not against this idea.
Marvel is in the middle of a period of transition and is looking for a bit of itself. After a generally very well received Avengers Endgame, it started to get worse and worse. The MCU even hit rock bottom with The Marvels which is the biggest flop in the history of the cinematic universe. A total poor commercial performance, which was not even slightly offset by positive reviews. But to get things back on track, the house of superheroes could perhaps apply a beloved Hollywood recipe: making something new out of something old.
This Oscar-winning actor ready to fly again for Marvel
At the moment, it is very difficult to know whether or not Marvel will manage to turn things around. But there is hope with Deadpool 3, or perhaps even the new Fantastic Four film which benefits from a solid cast. Even though the role of the Silver Surfer is already dividing Internet users. Apart from that, there is a general impression of vagueness and several projects are still shaky like Blade or Avengers 5 & 6. And according to Variety, Marvel could choose to recall the old Avengers by relying on the magic of the multiverse. A rumor more or less denied by Kevin Feige, the president of Marvel Studios.
The return of the Avengers defeated in battle, is that the new rumor? I haven’t seen anything like this, literally. We haven’t discussed it, that’s the truth. We are doing this project with Scarlett Johansson (editor’s note: as a producer and not an actress). I like Robert, he’s part of the family, but as for a return, we’ll have to see.
A return of Avengers actors, including Robert Downey Jr, to the Marvel cinematic universe? The actor who won the Oscar for best supporting role for Oppenheimer is ready to do it again. “I would come back with great joy. It’s such an important part of my life. This role chose me. And as I always say “never, ever bet against Kevin Feige”. It’s a lost bet. This is the house and he will always win”.
Robert Downey back as Iron Man… with Captain America?
Before Robert Downey Jr spoke, it was Chris Evans, aka Captain America, who responded to this rumor. And he’s not against the idea of resuming his Marvel costume either… provided it’s done well! “I think every couple of months someone says they’re going to call Downey, Hemsworth, Scarlett and everyone’s going to come back. Nobody told me about it. And you know, I would never say “never”, but I’m really very protective. It’s a very valuable role for me, so it would have to be perfect” he declared during the show The View.
