With his decease inAvengers : Endgame , the hero theMarvel Cinematic Universeneeds is not the next Iron Man , but a new Tony Stark . The enfranchisement ’s maiden hero played by Robert Downey Jr. was a uniform figure in the population for the last 11 years . While his personal trilogy wrapped up in 2013 , Tony proceed to be a central bod in almost every monumental event in the MCU . And now that he ’s gone after his heroic takedown of Thanos ( Josh Brolin ) in Endgame , the MCU is on the lookout for someone who can take over his responsibilities as Iron Man . But in reality , what the franchise really call for is another Tony Stark .

Jon Watts’Spider - gentleman’s gentleman : Far From Homepondered on the idea ofPeter Parker ( Tom Holland ) becoming the next Iron Man- a burden that haunted the young poor boy for the better part of the film as he also sorrow the demise of his mentor . But , as   Happy Hogan ( Jon Favreau ) said ,   there can never be a next Iron Man . Technically , that ’s honest considering that there ’s no plans for an introduction of a proper replacement . However , at this point , the MCU can do without another flying metal - garment - hero . What it needs is someone who run more like the hero ’s alter - ego .

Marvel Studios introduced several heroes over the last few years who are brace to take the frontlines from the franchise ’s set up characters .   And while there ’s no one as similar to Iron Man , there are other character reference who can   essentially fill up the role he ’s empty . What the franchise needs is its next Tony Stark - genius , billionaire who potter with engineering in the hope of   meliorate not only his armour , but also the   suits and   gadgetry of his dude   Italian sandwich .   He also provide financial backing for the Avengers - work up them a new headquarters that offered lodging   to   his fellow submarine sandwich and even piece up the remnants of S.H.I.E.L.D. when it burst . It allowed   Captain America and Black Widow   to consecrate their lives   to protect the masses to serve without being burdened by problems from daily life .

Far From Homeestablished that the Pepper Potts - run Stark Industries is still require in providing financial help to Tony ’s fellow heroes . However , it ’s safe to assume that she wo n’t be as involved as his married man was . With the Avengers HQ reasonably much   annihilate following the all - out battle against Thanos inEndgame , the heroes need another base to regroup and prepare for what comes next . No word has been said about another ensemble task so heroes will be scatter doing their own adventures for a while , but they ’ll eventually pucker back together once the next big terror becomes imminent .

Considering Black Panther / T’Challa ’s ( Chadwick Boseman ) resources as the leader   of Wakandacoupled with Shuri ’s ( Letitia Wright ) wizard , they might be capable to take over these particular responsibility leave behind by Tony . However , it ’s worth noting that the king and princess ' first anteriority will always be the people of their Carry Amelia Moore Nation , peculiarly on the dog of several massive change - from open up their margin to the fallout of the snap .

As unsufferable as Tony was at clock time , no one can traverse that he ’s essentially the reason the Avengers were able to stay on to function . He provided all the avail his fellow torpedo needed without really asking for anything in return .   TheMarvel Cinematic Universewill doubtlessly take care and find dissimilar without him   in it as itcontinues to Phase 4 , but it will also pretend how the Avengers operate as a squad . Looking at the soon - to - be - introduced paladin in the dealership , it does n’t seem like there ’s one persona who can single - handedly take over his position as the universe ’s resident tech and backing soul . Marvel Studios will just   have to find their next genius billionaire before the next monolithic threat makes its presence felt .
