Iron Man is not resurrected.
According to the US entertainment media Vanity Fair on the 4th (local time), Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige put to rest public speculation that there is no possibility of bringing Iron Man back to life in the sequel to the 'Avengers' series. “We’re going to cherish that moment and never touch that moment again,” Feige said.
Director Joe Russo, who directed the film, also said, "We already said goodbye in tears on the last day of filming," adding, "Everyone was emotionally finished."
Iron Man died in 'Avengers: Endgame', released in 2019, and effectively left the Marvel Studios series. However, since Iron Man's popularity drove the popularity of the MCU (Marvel Cinema Universe), many analyzes say that his departure had a significant impact on the momentum of the MCU, which has recently declined significantly.
Meanwhile, in this interview, President Feige and director Joe Russo paid attention to Robert Downey Jr.'s acting career. President Feige said that there was opposition from the Marvel board at the time of casting because Robert Downey Jr. had a history of serving 15 months in prison for drug problems. It was added that the Marvel board of directors ultimately accepted Robert Downey Jr.'s joining after seeing his test performance.
