So, if you’ve been anywhere near the blue bird the past week you’ll be aware there’s a rumor floating around regarding a certain Avengers alum – Ok, shit, it’s Robert Downey as Iron Man – returning for one of the next Avengers movies.

The Michael Waldron-penned script for Avengers : Secret Wars turns film May 1, 2026.
