The Marvel Cinematic Universe would not be complete without the live-action interpretation of Robert Downey Jr.'s Iron Man. The armor-infused hero started the journey for this franchise back in 2008, and the rest, as they say, was history.
Downey's impressive portrayal of the Marvel hero anchored the franchise's success, ultimately making the character his own over the years. The star played Iron Man for a total of 11 movies for the MCU, before eventually ending his run in heroic fashion during 2019's Avengers: Endgame.
Right now, it's unlikely that Downey will return as the fan-favorite hero, especially after Endgame perfectly capped off his time with the MCU. Still, the veteran actor did tease a potential comeback, admitting that fans will “move [them] towards what they want” in the future.
While fans are coping with Downey's farewell, a new MCU collectible might help in easing the pain.
