The Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) has been continuously expanding and introducing a plethora of new characters in Phase 4. This phase coincided with Marvel’s success on Disney Plus, which provided an opportunity for fresh blood to enter the scene.
However, the question remains: Can any of these newcomers ever achieve the same level of popularity as Robert Downey Jr’s iconic portrayal of Tony Stark? Fans on r/MarvelStudios are currently assessing the newer characters and identifying those who might have what it takes:
The consensus among fans is that none of these characters will ever reach the same level of prominence as Tony Stark. However, when Kevin Feige introduces the MCU Fantastic Four and X-Men, the actors portraying those characters might have a chance.
That being said, there is a strong argument to be made for the excellent casting choices of Hailee Steinfeld as Kate Bishop, Florence Pugh as Yelena Belova, and Iman Vellani as Kamala Khan. These actors have the potential to portray their characters for years and gradually build a devoted fanbase.
Moon Knight also receives praise for Oscar Isaac’s nuanced performance, which is likely to pave the way for a solo movie. Simu Liu’s Shang-Chi also seems destined for great success, and fans are eagerly awaiting his return.
Nevertheless, it is highly unlikely that any hero in the MCU will reach the level of popularity Iron Man attained. During Phase One, the story revolved around Stark, culminating in the epic blockbuster, Endgame. Since then, the MCU has become an ensemble franchise, and it appears that’s the way Disney prefers it, as no single star overshadows the Marvel brand.
However, we anticipate a surge in instant popularity once the MCU introduces Wolverine, Magneto, and Professor X. Yet, it remains doubtful if they will achieve the same level of popularity as Stark.
