Fans of Tony Stark aka Iron Man will be delighted to learn that Marvel continues to have plans for the character played on the big screen by Robert Downey Jr. Indeed, a new series dedicated to this Avengers will soon see the light of day on Disney+ but be careful, it’s not in the form you imagine it.
An Iron Man series without Robert Downey Jr.
It’s been a few weeks since we learned that Robert Downey Jr. would indeed make his return to the MCU. But the one who was awarded an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor for his participation in the film Oppenheimer by Christopher Nolan will not return as Tony Stark/Iron Man. Indeed, the actor will now be Doctor Victor von Doom, the enemy of the Fantastic Four.
However, the public will be able to see Iron Man again on the small screen with a new series which has been announced by Disney+. In this project, Tony Stark will return and team up with Riri Williams/Ironheart as well as Amadeus Cho/Iron Hulk. They will have to play vigilantes to save and protect the city from villains such as Vision and Gamma.
Of course, for this series, Robert Downey Jr. will not be there and fans of the character may be disappointed to learn that it is actually an animated series aimed at young audiences. Indeed, the series entitled Iron Man and His Awesome Friends (Iron Man and his wonderful friends in VF) is intended to be broadcast on Disney+ and the Disney Junior channel in summer 2025 regarding the United States. It remains to be seen when it will be available here in France.
