Who Else Can Play Iron Man?

Alright, the MCU is getting a soft reboot after Secret Wars and that means every character/almost every character is getting a new actor. RDJ has played Iron Man for so long that it just feels wrong for someone else to play Tony Stark, but RDJ is 60 now, and he'll be almost 62 when Secret Wars releases. Clearly, he isn't coming back in the MCU (unless they want to milk RDJ for every last dollar bill they can squeeze out of him). So, who would be a good replacement? Seriously I have no idea, and I want to hear yall's opinions. Who is worthy to play Iron Man?

Only valid option

KefkaZ2026-01-10 18:28

Before he was cast as Johnny Storm I was convinced Joseph Quinn would be an amazing young Tony Stark.

medieval_mosey2026-01-10 18:45

Exactly what I was thinking

jaypets2026-01-10 18:49

there were so many moments in F4 where the lighting hit him in a certain way and I thought he looked identical to the young B.A.R.F. Tony from Civil War

Dismal-Apricot98892026-01-10 18:54

Same. I was thinking he’d be a perfect young Stark the entire time I was watching Stranger Things Season 4. He looks like RDJ, even has some similar mannerisms.

Honestly,you retire the story of iron man and go to X-Men full on.go street level if you still want to keep avengers style

I would move to the Mutant story as it is still very topical and Magneto's back story is one that people can understand. Just need the right charisma to reboot the character.

Do we need another iron man?? Lets make something new

CharacterOld86912026-01-10 19:21

Iron Lad

arand0md00d2026-01-10 19:55

This sounds like another failed disney plus show. Theres plenty of ongoing series and characters that need follow up not even mentioning the entire X men series that has yet to really debut in mcu.

CharacterOld86912026-01-10 21:35

If they intend to nuke Kang, Iron Lad kind of solves several problems; a continuation of the Nathaniel Richards storyline that will undoubtedly come up in the F4 movies at some point, it replaces Tony Stark after he assumedly dies in Secret Wars, and he could be a villain that battles Iron Heart for some armor wars action, before being redeemed and joining the Young Avengers. That’s my 2 cents.

arand0md00d2026-01-10 22:50

The biggest problem with the mcu now is too many new characters and not enough screen time for all of them. Don't need any more dilution.

Someone pointed out the other day that Jacob Elordi's been sporting an 80's tache and a mullet lately that looks eerily similar to the cartoon series Tony Stark design.

Josh Keaton’s pretty great

Ornery_10042026-01-10 18:49

A God. A golden god. A golden god who likes to bind, who likes to be bound!

Ladies and gentlemen, the J.A.R.V.I.S. System is a comprehensive approach to seduction that I have perfected over the years

Danny Devito or Nic Cage.

BravoLeader30002026-01-10 19:04

Why do so many people think that there will be a new Tony Stark (and a new Steve Rogers) after Secret Wars? Marvel has given zero indication that this will happen, but even more, why would anyone want this to happen? There are a million other characters that Marvel could introduce before introducing new actors as Iron Man and Captain America.

GarySoneji2026-01-10 19:30

They misread an article about an interview with Kevin Feige.

Actual-Lynx44392026-01-16 16:05

Cause the new characters are not box office draws

Toadrage_2026-01-10 19:05

I don’t mind stepping in

Heart-Lights4202026-01-10 19:12

I mean, is the same case for Hugh Jackman as Wolverine, Patric Steward as Professor X, or Ian McKellen as Magneto… they need to be retired for good.

I love them to dead, but hopefully they’ll give them a retirement arc for good and we get reintroduced new younger cast somehow.

Inevitable_Box93982026-01-10 19:15

Dominic Cooper!

Bitter_Commission6312026-01-10 19:17

Cast swaps that I always wanted to see:
Johnny Depp, Jack Sparrow ><RDJ, Iron Man
Hugh Jackman, Wolverine><Daniel Craig, 007

Just do one scene so we could see it.

Josh O’Connor

If you're going to reboot Iron Man, you need to reboot Iron Man. Let it be a whole new take on the character. This Iron Man is a bit less charismatic, but still likeable. Let him be a guy new to Stark Industries and someone who doesn't so easily step into the hero role. No Jarvis, no Pepper, no Happy. It'll be a blank slate to work with.

Also, this version keeps his identity a secret.
