The first Iron Man movie is what made the MCU possible. The movie turned the Avengers into the most beloved group of superheroes in the world and made Robert Downey Jr. a star once again. Iron Man also helped Marvel Studios grow into what it is today, with the help of Disney, which purchased Marvel a year after its release. Finally, Iron Man also set up one of the original content pillars of Disney Plus, which is the streaming home of the MCU.
Robert Downey Jr may team up with his Iron Man director Jon Favreau for a new Star Wars movie. According to our trusted and proven sources, the former Marvel Cinematic Universe star is in negotiations to enter a galaxy far, far away, putting him in yet another of the biggest movie franchises of all time. Lucasfilm has been leery in producing a full-length movie for the franchise as of late, but bringing Robert Downey Jr and Jon Favreau to anchor Star Wars is a sound move.
Favreau and Robert Downey Jr working together for a Star Wars movie probably sounds like as safe a bet as the Walt Disney Company will allow Lucasfilm.
