Ever since Robert Downey Jr’s Tony Stark snapped Thanos and his forces out of existence in Avengers: Endgame, followers have been asking and even demanding his return. Tony was a central determine within the MCU, and with out him the cinematic universe appears incomplete one way or the other.
And even after his loss of life, Tony continues to forged an enormous shadow over the MCU.
Yes, it’s true that he could have perished whereas obliterating Thanos and his military because of the harm brought on to his physique whereas wielding all of the Infinity Stones concurrently, however simply because he’s useless that isn’t essentially not the tip of the street for the character. That shouldn’t cease Tony from making an look in MCU once more for the reason that multiverse is now a actuality now.
For occasion, the present timeline’s Loki was choked to loss of life by the Mad Titan, however we noticed the Loki from instantly after the Battle of New York having all new adventures within the sequence of the identical title.
Many MCU followers have been thus barely disenchanted that Tony didn’t seem in Spider-Man: No Way Home, for a film based mostly wholly on a rip within the multiverse could have been an excellent alternative for a Tony cameo, particularly contemplating he was a mentor to Peter Parker.
One of the No Way Home writers, Chris McKenna, was requested the identical on The Q&A with Jeff Goldsmith podcast. It seems Marvel is admittedly performed with Tony, regardless of the character’s significance. Also, whereas he was necessary in Peter Parker’s life, he was not likely Uncle Ben.
“Honestly, that’s like a non-starter in the halls of Marvel, at least in our experience. They just don’t really like constantly invoking… I mean, Tony cast such a large shadow even after Endgame, which we dealt with in Far From Home. But I think everyone felt like we can’t just keep on going to the Tony well. And I think what we started realizing as we were writing this is that he wasn’t the Uncle Ben. I mean, he was a father figure. There was a bond between them. In Endgame he even has a photo of Peter and it seems to be the final moral impetus to have him risk everything to try to reset the balance of the universe,” he stated.

McKenna added, “But I think in writing this we started realizing that we had an opportunity here to tell a different story for Peter Parker that by the end of this movie, maybe, is a different origin story than everyone else has assumed up to this point. And I don’t think having Tony there would have done anything. I think we start realizing that the moral impetus, the guide post of his life is May. And that for the first time he is tested about whether he can actually truly live up to this code that she’s instilled in him. That is what this Peter Parker story is all about.”
Interestingly, it was Tony himself who introduced Spidey into MCU, by hiring a younger Peter Parker for his battle towards Captain America-led faction in Civil War. Since then, Tony had been a father-figure to Peter, who additionally supplied him with superior Stark know-how for his Spidey fits.
That being stated, you may by no means say by no means for Downey Jr and Marvel Studios can come to an settlement over a future cameo someplace down the road. There have been earlier stories suggesting that he could reprise Tony within the Iron Heart sequence.
Meanwhile, there are rumours and even a picture purporting to be set picture suggesting Tom Cruise may essay the character of Tony Stark in Doctor Strange within the Multiverse of Madness.
