Recent reports suggest that Robert Downey Jr. was spotted on the set of Marvel Studios’ Captain America 4, known as ‘Brave New World.’ Author Nawar Shora shared an image of the Captain America set on his LinkedIn page, stating that Downey was seen driving “super cars” during the filming. While this sparked speculation about Tony Stark’s (Iron Man) return in the MCU, there has been no official confirmation. The potential cameo could be significant, given Iron Man’s pivotal role in the early MCU phases. Fans are left wondering whether this appearance involves flashback scenes, alternate universe variants, or a brief cameo, considering Tony Stark’s fate in Avengers: Endgame.

The report suggests that if Downey visited the set, it might have been for a short cameo or a specific scene. While Tony Stark’s return is unlikely, the possibility of flashback scenes or alternate universe variants remains open. The connection between Tony Stark and characters like General Thaddeus E. “Thunderbolt” Ross (played by Harrison Ford) in Captain America 4 could provide an opportunity for Downey to pass the torch. As of now, there is no official confirmation or denial of Robert Downey Jr.’s involvement in Captain America: Brave New World, set to release on July 26, 2024, leaving fans eagerly awaiting updates.
