Jeff Goldblum Reveals Robert Downey Jr. is Reprising Iron Man Role for 'What If...?' Disney+ Series

Fans have been in mourning since Robert Downey Jr.’s character, Tony Stark, died making the ultimate sacrifice to restore the universe in Avengers: Endgame. Though the movie came out months ago, many have just started to begrudgingly accept the fact we would never see Downey’s Iron Man again on the big or small screen.

But now it turns out that we were wrong! ComicBook.com reports that Jeff Goldblum recently revealed in the BuzzFeed video below (around the 11:15 mark) that not only is he reprising his role of Grandmaster for the upcoming animated Disney+ series What If...?, but he is also being joined by a few friends.

“I played the part again a couple of days ago,” Goldblum explains. “I went to the Disney studios and I recorded the Grandmaster's voice for an episode of a show that's gonna be on Disney+ that's called What If...? It's an animated version of all the characters we know and love from Marvel and this episode included the Grandmaster and Iron Man, so Robert Downey will do a voice for that, and Korg. Taika Waititi had already recorded his voice for that, so yeah, for a couple hours I enjoyed doing that.”

While fans were already aware that Goldblum and Waititi were coming back with their MCU characters for the animated series, we weren't aware Downey would be coming back as Iron Man in any capacity.

As Tony would say, drop your socks and grab your Crocs, because Iron Man is back, sort of! Be sure to check out What If…?, expected to be released on Disney+ summer 2021.
