Speculation about “Iron Man 4” continues to swirl, although there is no official confirmation from Marvel Studios. Despite the character’s demise in “Avengers: Endgame,” fans are hopeful for a return, largely fueled by Robert Downey Jr.’s occasional ambiguous comments and the enduring popularity of Tony Stark​.

Rumors suggest a potential release window between 2024 and 2025, though concrete details remain elusive. Possible plot directions include exploring the multiverse or introducing new characters like Ironheart or even Tony Stark’s daughter. Additionally, there’s speculation about Tom Cruise appearing in a significant role, but this too lacks official confirmation​.

While the chances of Robert Downey Jr. reprising his role seem slim, Marvel’s exploration of the multiverse leaves room for surprises. Until any official announcements are made, fans can only speculate and hope for the continuation of Iron Man’s legacy in the MCU.

“Avengers: Secret Wars” is set to be one of the most anticipated MCU films, scheduled for release on May 7, 2027. This film will conclude Marvel’s Multiverse Saga and is expected to feature a massive ensemble cast. Returning characters from Marvel’s Phase 4 and 5 include Sam Wilson’s Captain America and other classic characters like Spider-Man, Captain Marvel, and Doctor Strange.

Hugh Jackman is rumored to reprise his role as Wolverine, potentially meeting Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield’s Spider-Men. This would follow Jackman’s return in “Deadpool 3” and Maguire and Garfield’s appearances in “Spider-Man: No Way Home.”
