The iconic duo of Deadpool and Wolverine that will reign over cinemas in no time is all the hype right now. Hugh Jackman’s epic surprise comeback as the redoubtable X-Men worked like a charm as fans went berserk at the promise of him teaming up with Ryan Reynolds’ loudmouth mercenary. And it looks like Kevin Feige has been taking notes.
With Jackman’s reprisal as Wolverine – despite the character meeting a tragic demise in James Mangold’sLogan– MCU fans are convinced that Robert Downey Jr.’s Iron Man will once again return to the superhero franchise, and they might be onto something.
Iron Man Can Still Make it Back to the MCU
Kevin Feigewas well aware of the implications of introducing Hugh Jackman’s adamantium-clawed mutant in the MCU. So, besides the time-traveling elements, the events inDeadpool & Wolverinetake place before Logan meets his end in the 2017 film. Voila, problem solved! No clashing of timelines and no dead people coming back to life. This isn’tWorld War Zx Marvel.
Jackman’s well-fitted return as Wolverine, however, is also why fans are holding onto the hope that they might just get to see their beloved Iron Man again (viaCosmic Marvel on X).
That’s how they bring back iron man 😉

Robert Downey Jr. is Already Onboard For A Potential Return
Now that the ever-swelling multiverse can aid the revival of previously dead characters and Downey Jr. himself is more than willing to return as Tony Stark,, nothingis stopping Feige from fulfilling fans’ wishes.
In a conversation withEsquire, the Oscar-winning actor admitted that he would“happily”reprise his role as the tech-savvy superhero who met a lamentable end in the Russo brother’sAvengers: Endgame.
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.
Hugh Jackman‘s return to the land of the living (technically Logan is still very much dead) – yet anotherX-Menintegration within the Marvel Cinematic Universe – has made it abundantly clear that nothing is impossible, quite literally.
