10 Most Popular Fan Questions For Marvel Phase 3

9. Which Actors Will Leave?

The shadow hanging over the MCU is the question of what happens when a major actor leaves, and how will it affect the movies? Of course there have already been some casting shakeups, but it€™s doubtful anyone complained when Ed Norton was traded for Mark Ruffalo or Terrence Howard getting a Don Cheadle style facelift. But actors inevitably age, and while they may be having lots of well-paid fun they€™ll grow bored playing the same character eventually. The most likely candidate to exit first is Robert Downey, Jr., since by the time Infinity War Part II comes along he€™ll have been playing Tony Stark for eleven years. He€™s been a vital part of the series since the first Iron Man and clearly loves playing the character, but it seems doubtful he€™ll stick around beyond Phase 3. Chris Evans initially appeared shaky about taking on Captain America, but he loves working with Marvel and appears open to sticking around. He isn€™t signed beyond Phase 3 however, and the rumours Bucky will take his place refuse to go away. It€™s an issue Marvel will have to deal with eventually, and nobody is going to envy the casting agent who has to find a new Tony Stark.
