For the uninitiated, Deadpool & Wolverine brings back Hugh Jackman’s character after he died in Logan which was under the Fox banner. Now there is a possibility that this is not the Logan we loved but a different variant. But likewise, there is also room for Robert Downey Jr. to reprise Iron Man. And Kevin Feige doesn't deny it. In an interview with DiscussingFilm, the filmmaker revealed:

“That’s the key, right? How do you do it in a way that maintains what has come before, and in a great way? And we’ve been spending, you know, the last two-plus years figuring that out for Wolverine,” Feige said when asked about Downey and Evans coming back. “So, what’s to come? We’ll see. We’re just proud that we, I think, have figured it out for Wolverine. I think Hugh’s appearance and starring role in [‘Deadpool & Wolverine’] is a great sign that it can be done — if great care is taken.”

There have been numerous reports floating around the internet about plans to mark Robert Downey Jr.’s return. Nothing has come to fruition, however. Meanwhile, Deadpool & Wolverine is all set to release on July 26 and marks the entry of the X-Men into the MCU in the biggest way. Directed by Shawn Levy and starring Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman, the movie ties directly into Avengers 5 and the X-Men film.
