In the book, MCU: The Reign of Marvel Studios, Anthony Russo mentioned how they went to Robert Downey Jr. to get his approval of Stark’s final adventure in the MCU.
“We did pitch Robert his arc, because he kicked off the entire MCU. We went over to meet with him, and we pitched it out to him. A lot of the actors are not opinionated about what we do. They like the fact that we are sort of in control of these stories and we are driving where they should go and we have a vision for where they should go and they trust in that.”
Though Robert Downey Jr. wasn’t convinced initially, he felt that the show must go on, and his character’s legacy will forever live in the franchise.
