Robert Downey Jr.’s ties to Audi cars may have just revealed Tony Stark’s fate in Avengers: Endgame.
The fate of Tony Stark is one of the biggest questions for many fans going into Avengers: Endgame. Ever since Infinity War came out, fans have theorized Iron Man may die in the upcoming movie — either by the hands of Thanos or something else.
With Marvel rolling out new heroes such as Captain Marvel for Phase 4 of the MCU, it’s bittersweet but also plausible to see a future without Iron Man.
After the Endgame trailer, fans are even more worried. We saw Tony Stark drifting in space, starving, and nearly out of oxygen. This is not the kind of thing you want to watch if you’re already worried about Iron Man making it through.
Tony’s loyal fanbase is searching for any clue as to what his fate will be, and surprisingly… an Audi commercial may offer a glimmer of hope.
In the advertisement above, Robert Downey Jr. is promoting the Audi e-tron GT concept car. He talks to Marc Lichte, Head of Design for Audi, and RDJ tells Lichte that he needs to try out the new car. This prompts Lichte to reply, “You have driven it already!” In response, Robert Downey Jr. looks at the camera and says, “Well, I mean I… as Tony Stark in Avengers 4, out in theaters in spring 2019, I did, but this is us now, buddy.”
Tony Stark’s affinity with Audi cars is no surprise, as the character has driven them, specifically the Audi R8, in all of the Iron Man solo films. Downey seems to make it perfectly clear both he and the car will make a tandem appearance in Endgame — and we doubt that’ll be him driving the car alone, starved, in space.
Then again, Tony Stark could drive his precious Audi on Earth… and this scene on the spaceship may be where Star ends up at the end of Endgame. (It’s a stretch, for sure, as we doubt a trailer would show us final moments of any character so soon).
