Downey then explained that one day Feige finally found a way to bring him back to the MCU.
And when theInfinity Sagaended, Feige famously declared that Tony Starks legacy wouldn’t be touched, ever.
On the podcast, Downey reveals that Feige carefully thought it out before suggesting he return.
After being held captive in an Afghan cave, billionaire engineer Tony Stark creates a unique weaponized suit of armor to fight evil.
Per Downey, Feige is a very sophisticated, creative thinker about, ‘How can we not go backwards?
How can we not disappoint expectations?
How can we continue to beat expectations?’
And later on, he goes, ‘Let’s get Victor von Doom right.
Let’s get that right.’
So then I said to Kevin, ‘Can I go talk to Bob Iger?’
He goes, ‘About?’
I go, ‘About everything.'”
Where the hell else should you go but there?"
