<p>For&nbsp;Marvel fans, Robert Downey Jr is the leading man of MCU and, it is slightly difficult to imagine the Marvel Cinematic universe without Robert Downey's&nbsp;Iron Man aka Tony Stark.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Robert, who played Marvel superhero Iron Man for 10 years is now done playing Tony Stark and has moved on in his career with other big projects and will not&nbsp;return in other MCU movies, but for his fans, he will always be their charming Iron Man.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Recently, a publication The Sunday Times tweeted an opinion that stated, “Iron Man could be played by almost anyone.”<br />
&nbsp;<br />
“The big titles of the past decade are brands and franchises established in numerous prequels and sequels. Robert Downey Jr is a leading man, but his Iron Man could be played by almost anyone with wit; the character is more important to audiences than the actor,” the Sunday Times wrote on its official Twitter account.<br />
<br />
The daring&nbsp;tweet quickly triggered Downey’s passionate fans. Even James Gun too replied to the publication and wrote, ''I've seen the screen tests. This is bullshit.''</p>

“I think of all of them, when Robert Downey Jr. played Stark, he was just great,” Lee said. “That man was born to be Iron Man, you know? He’d be on the top of the list.”</p>
