The writers of the movie “Deadpool and Wolverine” shared an interesting detail about the casting. It turns out that the authors planned to invite Robert Downey Jr. for a cameo as Tony Stark. However, given that the actor has already been confirmed for the role of Dr. Doom in future installments of “The Avengers”, this idea had to be abandoned.

“We really wanted Downey to be in the business. But at the same time, Marvel had a trump card up its sleeve: he was about to return in a new character. And to have him play Tony Stark? Knowing that it would be followed by Dr. Doom? It just didn’t make sense,” one of the writers shared.
