Robert Downey Jr addresses rumours of Iron Man's cameo in Scarlett Johansson's Black Widow

Actor Robert Downey Jr is maintaining ambiguity over his much-talked about appearance in Marvel Studios’ Black Widow . The actor exited the studio’s Marvel Cinematic Universe as Tony Stark aka Iron Man last year with Avengers: Endgame.

However, soon after there were reports that Downey Jr will be making one last appearance as Iron Man in Scarlett Johansson-led Black Widow. In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, Downey Jr was coy about the reports. “Right. Great. I mean, it would be nice if they notified me. Forewarned is forearmed. They can do anything now. This could be a deep fake interview for all we know,” the actor responded. Black Widow will feature Johansson as Natasha Romanoff aka Black Widow, an agent of the fictional spy agency S.H.I.E.L.D and a member of the superhero team, the Avengers. Directed by Cate Shortland, Black Widow also stars Rachel Weisz, Florence Pugh, David Harbour and O T Fagbenle. The film is the first Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) movie after Spider-Man: Far From Home, and the first one from MCU’s Phase 4. The other film project to come out this year will be  The Eternals , MCU’s next spectacle property. Black Widow is scheduled to be released on 1 May.
