The head of Marvel has commented on rumours of Robert Downey Jr. and Scarlett Johansson returning to the MCU

Kevin Feige has revealed whether the original Avengers will return to the MCU.

Here's What We Know

It was recently reported that Marvel Studios was discussing the possibility of bringing back the original Avengers, including Robert Downey Jr.'s Iron Man and Scarlett Johansson's Black Widow, which would be an overhead for the MCU considering both characters died in Avengers: Endgame.

Now, these rumours have been commented on by Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige:

"We did not discuss that and that is the truth. We're doing a project with Scarlett. I love Robert, he's part of the family. But in terms of returning, we'll have to see."

Certainly bringing back the original Avengers presents Marvel with a daunting and expensive task, especially when you consider that the actors' fees were quite impressive. Taking such a step would only be justified in the case of a major reboot of the universe. Still, the ambiguous "we'll see" regarding Downey Jr. is encouraging.

As for Johansson's future at Marvel, back in June 2023, the actress confirmed that her production project is still in development.

"It is still happening. Yes. It is still happening, [but] not currently because nothing is happening right now. We're all sort of in this holding pattern as we wait out the writers' strike and potentially our own guild strike, and so on and so forth." - Johansson said.
