Robert Downey Jr.’s departure from the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Iron Man in Avengers: Endgame seemed to have been set in stone when Marvel president Kevin Feige dismissed hope for an Iron Man return a few months ago. In a new Esquire cover story, Downey seems to be leaving his options open just in case. Asked if he’d be willing to play Iron Man again, he said: “Happily. It’s too integral a part of my DNA. That role chose me. And look, I always say, Never, ever bet against Kevin Feige. It is a losing bet. He’s the house. He will always win.”
