Spider-Man: No Way Home
A exceptional item inSpider - Man : No room Homemakes Iron Man ’s ( Robert Downey Jr. ) death inAvengers : Endgameand his legacy so much dark . Marvel Studios ' inaugural character wrapped up his bow in Joe and Anthony Russo ’s 2019 blockbuster , sacrificing himself to defeat Thanos ( Josh Brolin ) . But while his death was already tragic , larn more about the current land of his legacy in the MCU is so much more depressing .
SinceTony Stark was Peter Parker ’s ( Tom Holland ) wise man , he was deeply involved in the type ’s story . The wiz , billionaire appear inSpider - Man : Homecoming . Meanwhile , his presence loomed large inSpider - Man : Far From Homeas the young Italian sandwich grieved his death inAvengers : Endgame .

Still , Spider - Man : No mode Homeoffers fan an estimation of the Department of State of Iron Man ’s bequest in the MCU . After his secret superhero identity was revealed , Peter and Aunt May(Marisa Tomei ) moved into Happy ’s condo where Dum - E was apparently being kept . For the uninitiate , the robot was created by Tony in his Fatherhood ’s workshop at the years of 16 while studying at MIT . concord to a newsprint trim show as part of the montage in honour of its Jehovah inIron Man , Dum - E was also a prize - winning robot . Despite his late and high - tech innovation , the Avenger decided to keep it with him , even stimulate it moved to the Avengers facility in Upstate after the Avengers tower was sold . regard how important it was to the wiz , billionaire ’s taradiddle , and personal legacy , the idea thatPepper Potts ( Gwyneth Paltrow)doesn’t really handle about it so it ’s in Happy ’s flat make Iron Man ’s death more upsetting .
Aside from being with Tony for the long sentence , it ’s also deserving noting that Dum - E saved his lifetime inIron Manafter Obadiah Stane ( Jeff Bridges ) took his arc reactor . Between this and the robot ’s time with the hero , one would take on that Pepper would ’ve liked to keep him in their house collection , perhaps even allow Morgan ( Lexi Rabe ) interact with it as a way to keep her connect to her father . It was speculate to be in theAvengers HQ in UpstatesinceSpider - Man : Homecoming , and it must have survived its destruction hence why it ’s in Happy ’s condo . The fact that Pepper did n’t care to keep Dum - E in their lake house suggest that she may not want anything to do with her husband ’s past times as a poor boy . This make sense considering that she antecedently ask him to maltreat away from it before , but Tony ’s consignment to his epic reason was so much strong . Even if his married woman harmonise to him joining the metre heist inAvengers : Endgame , Pepper may still be distance herself from the Avengers and anything link up to Tony ’s Iron Man stint .
If this is really the case , it might not be for selfish grounds ; it could simply be part of Pepper ’s grieving process . After all , Tony died during the conflict against Thanos inAvengers : Endgame . It could also be her way of protecting Morgan , making sure that she does n’t pursue his suit as a hero risking her life every day . This may excuse whyPepper did n’t get involved inSpider - Man : No Way Home ’s story to assist Peter in his problems . Whatever the subject may be , to see such an intrinsical part of Iron Man ’s word-painting retch aside is a sad bill of indictment of his wider legacy .
