8 Biggest Unconfirmed Rumours About 2020 Movies

2020 is going to be one of the toughest years the MCU has had in quite some time.

For one thing, it will be impossible for Black Widow and The Eternals to come close to Avengers: Endgame in terms of scale and the ability to please fans, which may lead to those two movies feeling a touch disappointing, even if they're both solid.

But perhaps even more crucially, 2020 will be the MCU's first shot at proving it can still appeal to audiences without the backing of its two biggest characters - Iron Man and Captain America. Or so we thought.

While Steve Rogers appears to have served his time, Tony Stark may still have one last go left in him. If a throwaway comment in a Deadline article is to be believed, Robert Downey Jr "will be seen in the role of Stark one more time" in the upcoming Black Widow prequel, presumably in a really small capacity.

If this is true, it doesn't mean that Downey Jr has shot more scenes - it could be old footage from Captain America: Civil War, which takes place just before Black Widow in the MCU timeline. It could also be a flashback to an even older movie, or a quick shot of Tony on a TV screen.

Whatever the case, the character won't have a massive role, but it would be nice to see him pop up for one final bow.

Danny has been with WhatCulture for over ten years, and is currently Doctor Who Editor and WhoCulture Channel Manager, overseeing all of WhatCulture's Whoniverse coverage. In 2022, he took charge of WhoCulture and has grown it into the biggest Doctor Who channel on YouTube, and one of the biggest Doctor Who communities on the web full-stop. He has been writing and video editing since his early teens, and first got a taste for content creation after making his own Doctor Who trailers, off the back of a burning obsession with the Matt Smith era of the show. Like many his age, he first got into Doctor Who with the 2005 revival, but has since gone back and fallen in love with the classic years too. If you need someone to recite every Doctor Who episode in order, or to give you a random factoid about the making of Gridlock, Danny is the person to ask!
