Robert Downey Jr. kept in touch with President Kevin Feige of Marvel Studios. He initiated having the actor back on screen despite his character’s death in “Avengers: Endgame.” The actor said that Feige told him, “It just keeps occurring to me that if you were to come back …” and additionally mentioned his wife’s reaction, “And Susan was like, ‘Wait, wait, come back as what?’ We both realized this was another thing that disproves any doubt anyone could ever have about the guy, a very sophisticated creative thinker.”
