Robert Downey Jr. reveals Iron Man's alternate final line for Avengers: Endgame, instead of the iconic 'I am Iron Man.' '...I was going to say 'oh snap!'... It was too smartass...'
Robert Downey Jr. reveals the alternate lines to Iron Man's final words in Avengers: Endgame. In 2019, Marvel Studios wrapped up the Infinity Saga via the Joe and Anthony Russo-directed flick. In order to emphasize the movie's importance in the MCU's history, it also functioned as the swan song to three of the original Avengers, including the franchise's inaugural hero, Tony Stark.
Much has been said about Downey's involvement in kicking off the MCU in 2008. Marvel Studios didn't want to cast him in the lead role of Iron Man because of his troubled past, but director Jon Favreau was adamant that he was perfect for the role. The filmmaker was ultimately right, and from there, Downey's Tony Stark became the poster boy of the franchise for the next 11 years until he capped off his arc in Avengers: Endgame.
I had so many so many alt lines that I wanted to put forward...they were all super smart-ass lines like I was trying, you know, say stuff like 'you are so f*cked' or whatever... I was going to say 'oh snap!'... It was too smartass and the whole arc of the character, and it was I think maybe one of our great editor's idea or maybe one of the writers who say that we need to go back to the first film and have him his dying words to be the words of his origin. We love a bookend.
Other Marvel Studios creatives have talked about how this particular Avengers: Endgame moment came out to be. Initially, Tony wasn't going to say anything after getting the Infinity Stones, but that didn't sit quite well with the filmmakers when they were editing the film. That's when the idea for the character to say"I am Iron Man" came to be.
Downey is known for his penchant for improvisation. Tom Holland talked about his experience riffing off with the actor during his Spider-Man audition and how it kept him on his toes throughout the whole screen test. But, as great as Downey was in delivering great unscripted moments in the MCU, it's for the best that they stuck with the "I am Iron Man" line in Avengers: Endgame. Anything else would've felt wrong especially considering that phrase's history in the franchise.
