Robert Downey Jr. Returning as Iron Man for Disney+ Series (VIDEO)
Actor Jeff Goldblum has dropped a bombshell in a new interview, claiming that fellow Marvel actor Robert Downey Jr. is returning to the role of Tony Stark/Iron Man for an upcoming Disney+ series.
In an interview with BuzzFeed (video of the interview is included below), Goldblum revealed that he recently visited Disney Studios to record his voice for an upcoming episode of “What If…?” an animated series featuring characters from Marvel Comics, in alternate-universe stories.
Goldblum said he was reprising his role of Grandmaster for the episode, along with Korg actor Taika Waititi. Even more surprising, however, was his reveal that Robert Downey Jr. would appear in the episode as Tony Stark/Iron Man.
“I played the part again a couple of days ago,” Goldblum said of the character of Grandmaster. “I went to the Disney studios and I recorded the Grandmaster’s voice for an episode of a show that’s gonna be on Disney+ that’s called ‘What If…?’ It’s an animated version of all the characters we know and love from Marvel and this episode included the Grandmaster and Iron Man, so Robert Downey will do a voice for that, and Korg. Taika Waititi had already recorded his voice for that, so yeah, for a couple hours I enjoyed doing that.”
Downey had said that the death of Tony Stark in Avengers: Endgame would end his time with Marvel Studios, but now that doesn’t appear to be the case.
Goldblum also said that his return (at least in live-action form) for Thor: Love and Thunder hasn’t yet been decided. “We’re talking about it, in fact, I hope so. I love Taika Waititi, he’s a great director and a friend of mine.”
Here’s video of the interview.
“What If…?” will premiere on Disney+ in the Summer of 2021.
