While we haven’t been able to confirm whether that rumor is true or not, it’s definitely something that has the potential to shake up the story quite a lot for many fans, and we wouldn’t be surprised if the producers really are planning to pull that off.
We don’t know when the film is going to be ready exactly, but current reports claim that it should be released at some point in 2019, after the so-called “Marvel Phase 3”. That could have some interesting implications for some of the actors involved, but we’ll see how things work out.
It’s been rumored that Ty Simpkins could end up replacing Robert Downey Jr., although this doesn’t have to contradict the claims that Robert Downey Jr. himself has been considering playing in the new film.
There’s a lot of time to go until we start hearing official details about the new production, and fans are likely going to speculate quite a lot before that time arrives. It’s always interesting to read their theories while waiting for more official information, if nothing else, and some members of the community are definitely quite creative when it comes to bringing up possible plot developments that we’re going to see in the new film. One quick look at a popular film forum is enough to get the idea.
