Iron Man’s MCU Replacement Can Finally Settle A Phase 1 Theory Over 15 Years Later

Summary

• Through the upcoming Ironheart series, the MCU can finally answer a longstanding fan theory about whether Tony Stark's success as Iron Man was due to the AI construct Jarvis.
• Iron Man's arc has always emphasized that Tony Stark himself is the hero, not just the suits. Revealing Jarvis as the real hero would undermine this narrative and diminish the importance of characters like Riri and Rhodey who continue Tony's legacy.
• Ironheart should continue the theme that it's the person inside the suit that matters, with the armor and AI serving as tools. This will solidify Iron Man's legacy as a true hero and establish Riri as her own hero in the franchise's future.

The replacement for Iron Man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe may finally provide the answer to a 15-year-old fan theory dating back to Phase 1. Tony Stark was one of the pillars of the MCU's Infinity Saga, often present in the MCU's best-ranked movies. Through these many appearances, Tony Stark/Iron Man became one of the most beloved characters in the franchise, both to audiences on the outside and the in-universe heroes and citizens who adored him.
