Iron Man is arguably one of the superheroes lare the most popular in the MCUif it’s not not number 1. The first part of Solo Adventures of Tony Stark released in 2008 is the very first Marvel movie, which opened up to a vast universe that today is filled with connected films and series. If his death in 2019 in Avengers: Endgame destroyed us all, an old documentary where we see the actor talking about his character had oddly somehow predicted his death.
a “behind the scenes” full of meaning
The Marvel movies haven’t revealed all of their secrets. A true key character in the Marvel Universe, the character and motivations of Tony Stark have evolved over the years. Sometimes pretentious bad boy, sometimes altruistic, the common thread of the MCU brilliantly staged the character evolution of the billionaire. In his solo films, he devotes himself to protecting the world from its devastating weapons he designed and sold to warring powers.
His desire to protect the world backfires in Avengers: Age of Ultron when he is dedicated to the development and programming of an AI supposed to protect the world: Ultron. In Civil War, concerned about the collateral damage caused by the Avengers themselves, Stark sides with the government to set up regulated actions under the thumb of the US government. It’s in Avengers: Endgame, in front of Thanos, that Tony Stark is reaching his peak saving humanity through the sacrifice that will forever mark the Marvel Cinematic Universe. And it seems that this landmark scene was predicted by the actor… Oeleven years ago.
a sacrifice to save the world
In Marvel Behind the SceneIronman, Robert Downey Jr talks about his experience as a superhero and explains his character’s motivations.
He’s probably just as likely to kill himself trying to save people as doing the right thing.
If ten years ago, this sentence could seem innocuous, it has become almost a prophecy. In Endgamewhich closed sentence 3 but above all a gigantic chapter of marvel superheroes since 2008Iron Man did sacrifice himself by stealing the Infinity Stones from Thanos and making the famous snap to annihilate all the forces of the Mad Titan.
The power of the snap was such that Tony Stark did not survive. This prediction now makes sense, and proves that the actor knew his character inside out, whether in comics or movies. The death of the superhero devastated the fans but it was undoubtedly the best conclusion what Marvel Studios could do to a character who has starred on the screen for more than ten years.
