It’s not clear who this could be, but the outlet said – and this should be taken with a grain of salt – that a Stranger Things star “is almost certainly in the running”.
The actor in question is Joseph Quinn who plays Eddie Munson in the Netflix series and has been compared to Downey Jr by fans for his uncanny resemblance.
However, it’s also possible that this younger Iron Man that Marvel are looking for could in fact be a Kang variant.
