Kevin Feige hints at future recasting of Iron Man and Captain America: ‘Hard for anybody to do that'
Kevin Feige recently hinted at future recasting of Iron Man and Captain America, citing Bond and Superman. During a press roundtable at Marvel's headquarters in Burbank, California, for the upcoming Marvel film 'Fantastic Four', Feige addressed that they may, in the future, recast Iron Man and Captain America. Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige has hinted at the possibility of recasting two of the Marvel Cinematic Universe's most iconic roles — Tony Stark/Iron Man and Steve Rogers/Captain America — in future projects. Speaking about the evolving nature of long-running film franchises, Feige referenced the recent reshuffling in other major cinematic universes as precedent. 'Amy Pascal and David Heyman are now searching for a new James Bond,' Feige said, referring to the new producers of the Bond franchise. 'David [Corenswet], the new Superman — he was awesome. That will always be the case.' Feige acknowledged the challenge of replacing beloved actors who have defined roles for a generation. 'I think it's hard for anybody to do that when an actor has done such a great [job in a] role. How are they going to ever replace Sean Connery [as James Bond], right?' While the Marvel boss was open about the potential future of Iron Man — originally played by Robert Downey Jr. — and Captain America — played by Chris Evans — he remained vague when asked about the return of Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman in their popular roles from the upcoming Deadpool & Wolverine (2024). 'I think there is more fun to be had with both of those characters, but we'll see where,' Feige remarked. The comments suggest Marvel may be preparing audiences for a new era of the MCU, one that could eventually include fresh faces in legacy roles as the studio looks to sustain its multi-decade storytelling universe.

Marvel confirms plans to recast Iron Man, Captain America and more
Marvel has confirmed the return of fan-favourites like Iron Man, Captain America, and the super-powered X-Men. Marvel Studios chief recently spoke to the media about the upcoming films, stating that the plans will roll after 2027's 'Avengers: Secret Wars.' Tired of too many ads? go ad free now According to a Variety report, Feige said that the casting will be done for the upcoming X-Men film, set to be directed by Jake Schreier. Many of the original X-Men actors are returning to their iconic roles, including Patrick Stewart (Charles Xavier), (Magneto), (Nightcrawler), (Mystique), (Cyclops), and Kelsey Grammer (Hank McCoy). However, the characters will be played by others moving forward, the outlet stated. The decision has been taken in view of the changes in the 'Secret Wars' comic storyline, which involved timelines collapsing, resulting in the epic mix-up of the characters in the process. "We're utilising the story not just to round out the stories we've been telling post-'Endgame,' just as importantly -- and you can look at the at the 'Secret Wars' comics for where that takes you -- it very, very much sets us up for the future. Endgame,' literally, was about endings. 'Secret Wars' is about is about beginnings," Feige said, according to Variety. The Marvel boss though clarified that the changes are not any "reboot," but will serve as a reset for the MCU. "Reboot is a scary word. Reboot can mean a lot of things to a lot of people. Reset, singular timeline -- we're thinking along those lines. X-Men is where that will happen next," he added. Elsewhere during the conversation, Feige suggested that other Marvel characters will also be recast, including the beloved Iron Man and Captain America.
