Marvel Studios EVP Says The Story Of Tony Stark Is Over

Anyone with a longtime interest in comic book movies knows full well that death is hardly an obstacle that the genre has failed to overcome, with the general rule being that nobody truly stays dead except Batman’s parents and Spider-Man’s Uncle Ben, and even then there’ve been rumors that Jeffrey Dean Morgan’s Thomas Wayne could end up appearing in The Flash as one of the multiverse’s many Caped Crusaders.

Almost as soon as Avengers: Endgame faded to black, rumors were making the rounds about potential Marvel Cinematic Universe returns for both Robert Downey Jr.’s Tony Stark and Chris Evans’ Captain America. Indeed, audiences have so little faith in the superhero genre when it comes to killing off big names for good that nobody would be surprised if either one of them ended up gracing our screens once again, even if it would destroy the emotional impact of the Infinity Saga’s climax.

After all, Tom Hiddleston’s Loki has been presumed dead on several occasions, but thanks to a convenient plot hole, he’ll be headlining his own exclusive Disney Plus series. However, in a recent interview, Marvel Studios’ Executive Vice President of Production Victoria Alonso claimed that death is permanent in the MCU and said that Tony’s story, in particular, is over now.

“Tony Stark is dead, and that’s our story. Resurrection I do not know. I do not know how we would do it. It seems to me that the story of Tony Stark is over.”

Of course, Loki gets away with it by establishing that it’s the 2012 version of the Asgardian trickster that’s escaped from the time heist, and the MCU has more than enough characters to carry the franchise without having to rely on bringing people back from the dead. Endgame drew a line under the first three Phases, and moving forward is certainly the best way to consign the Infinity Saga to the history books and reshuffle the deck without having to rely on the past. That being said, we still wouldn’t rule out a cameo or two from Mr. Stark at some point in the future.

Black Panther 2 Will Reportedly Feature A Shot Of Chadwick Boseman With No Mask

The idea of using an actor or actress that’s no longer with us in a movie is a very sticky ethical question, and usually depends upon the nature of the project. For example, Carrie Fisher was integral to the plot of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, and there was enough footage left over from her previous two efforts to make it work, but bringing Peter Cushing’s Moff Tarkin back to life in Rogue One 22 years after he died was definitely unnecessary and more than a little unsettling.

Of course, this is hardly a new phenomenon after CGI and camera tricks were used to complete Oliver Reed’s performance in Gladiator and Laurence Olivier bizarrely played the villain in 2004’s Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow despite passing away in 1989, but advances in visual effects technology mean that the lines could soon become impossibly blurred. In fact, next year’s Finding Jack stars James Dean in the lead role despite the iconic actor having been dead since 1955, and some people are very much against the project for that reason.

However, based on his monumental contribution to modern blockbuster cinema, a lot of fans would be upset if Chadwick Boseman didn’t appear in the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Black Panther 2 in some form. Outtakes or deleted scenes from the first installment could mark a fitting tribute, but there’ve also been rumors of the dreaded digital double.

Of course, Marvel shot down that very idea earlier this week, but now insider Grace Randolph, who first broke the news of the studio possibly heading in such a direction, has clarified her scoop. Taking to Twitter, here’s what she shared:

Also to clarify on #BlackPanther, people made assumption my tweet meant full scenes w/ digital Boseman like Rogue One’s Grand Moff Tarkin.

I believe that’s what Alonso was addressing.

I specifically said battle scene & at least one shot w/ no mask.

We’ll see – in 2 years. https://t.co/a9Sb7sUDK9

So, it seems that Black Panther 2 won’t be using a digital double to bring back Boseman for the entire film or even for multiple scenes, which it seems is what some people thought. Instead, it’ll just be a for a battle sequence and, as Randolph notes, at least one shot with no mask. Of course, this all remains unconfirmed for now until the studio issues an official statement on their exact plans, but whatever they decide to do, let’s hope it’s done tastefully.
