The MCU is that cinematic juggernaut that nobody believed to turn out to become such a massive franchise in the future, but more than a decade and a half later, it is the single most dominant force in cinema history. This all started when Robert Downey Jr. donned the suit of armor and became Tony Stark, a.k.a Iron Man from the pages of Marvel Comics.
And with the release of 2019’s Avengers: Endgame, fans saw him leave the franchise he virtually created after the death of his superhero persona towards the end of the film. This left a large hole in the audience’s hearts that would take a long time to heal, Therefore, the reappearance of the star looking back at his days in the MCU in a new video has fans riled up, although, that video has a twist.
