Marvel’s Iron Man 4
Although the Marvel Cinematic Universe has moved on from Iron Man ( Robert Downey Jr ) , it has also established and introduced a mates of replacements for the heavy Tony Stark , but these are makingIron valet 4almost impossible . As the paladin who kick off the MCU , Iron Man cursorily became one of the leaders of this connected macrocosm throughout the Infinity Saga and even led the original Avengers squad alongside Captain America ( Chris Evans ) , but his sentence in the MCU came to an end with his forfeiture at the end ofAvengers : Endgamein club to salve the existence from Thanos and his armies .
Given his influence and impact on the MCU throughout its first three stage , this macrocosm struggled to move on from Iron Man during Phase 4 , as some openhanded character like Spider - Man continue to be confiscate to him in some way or another , and it was hard not to advert him whenever the “ radar target ” and the Battle of Earth came up . The Multiverse Sagais now in use exploring the multiverse and everything living in it , but it has also taken some sentence to establish and insert characters that will serve as Iron Man replacements in the residual of the MCU , and while this will keep Tony Stark ’s bequest , it ’s making a fourthIron Manalmost inconceivable now .
Iron Man Has Several MCU Replacements, Not Just One
The original Avengers team is no longer dynamic following the events ofAvengers : Endgame , and its leaders already have their replacement , though in Iron Man ’s example , it ’s more than one . In Captain America ’s fount , old Steve Rogers passed the shield and blanket to Sam Wilson , who officially became Captain America atthe terminal of the goggle box seriesThe Falcon and the Winter Soldier . Sam will asterisk in his own film inCaptain America : New World Orderand he ’s the only Captain America replacement in the MCU , but Iron Man already has more than one . Iron Man ’s official MCU permutation is Riri Williams(Dominique Thorne ) , introduce inBlack Panther : Wakanda always , but there are other character with similarity to the late Iron Man or who continue to habituate his engineering that can also serve as his replacements .
Rhodey a.k.a . War Machine is one of the character close to Iron Man not only in term of personal connection but because of the similarities between their suit and more . As Tony Stark ’s best friend , Rhodey knows how Stark Industries works and its resources , and is thanks to Stark that he became War Machine , so he can also take Iron Man ’s stead at one breaker point in the MCU . Another substitute is Pepper Potts , who inAvengers : Endgamewas kick in her own armor known as Rescue , though now that Tony is gone , Pepper might not turn back in the eternal rest of the MCU . Last but not least , Peter Parker using Stark Tech after Iron Man ’s passing and having been his mentee for class plant him up to be his replacement as well , though one with completely different abilities and resources .
Iron Man’s MCU Replacements Won’t Take His Superhero Name
Unlike Sam Wilson , who is no longer Falcon and is now Captain America , Iron Man ’s renewal ca n’t take his superhero name . Rhodey is already known as War Machine and has made a reputation for himself as such , and it would n’t make sense to vary his name to “ Iron Man ” . Riri also has her own superhero name : Ironheart , and though she ’s a young character , she has already made herself know as Ironheart , which is quite fitting due to her personality , mentality , and the design of her armour . Every Iron Man MCU replacementso far already has pre - existent identities , and while they have law of similarity with Iron Man and could take his berth , they ca n’t drop it all to take the mantlepiece of “ Iron Man ” – and the good side of this is that they have a chance to make their own superhero part , even if they are hard influenced by Iron Man .
The MCU Has A Movie That Could Have Been Iron Man 4 But Isn’t
Iron Man was the first MCU hero to get three solo movies , which ready the modelling for the quietus of the MCU , and even though he die inAvengers : Endgame , some viewers do n’t drop off hope on a fourth Iron Man movie happening . The closelipped there is toIron Man 4at the time of publish isArmor Wars , with Rhodey on the atomic number 82 as it will focus on him as he face one of Stark ’s greatest reverence : Stark tech light into the wrong hands . Armor Warsis the most relevant undertaking to Iron Man that the MCU currently has , but it ’s not commercialize asIron Man 4 , with the only liaison to the late hero being his technology falling into the opposition ’s hand . Iron Man 4 , then , is unlikely to materialize , but at least there ’s more than one character who can carry on with Tony Stark ’s legacy , even if they do n’t take the mantle of Iron Man .
