Year 2019, Marvel Cinematic Universe left the entire fandom in tears with the ending of 'Avengers: Endgame'. 'Iron Man' aka Tony Stark sacrificed his life and met a heroic ending in the film. He was missed and many wished for his return in some way. Eventually, Marvel heard the prayers and got Robert Downey Jr back to the game but with a new role and he is not alone. Here are the 5 actors who have come home to the producers of biggest superhero films.

1- Robert Downey Jr as Doctor Doom

Robert Downey Jr is the man who started this incredible journey in 2008 with 'Iron Man'. However, the Oscar winner has switched suits to re-enter the MCU. After an emotional farewell to the iconic red suit, RDJ will now be donning the green suit in his villain era. Fans will get to see him as Doctor Doom in the upcoming 'Avengers: Doomsday' in 2026.

2- Hugh Jackman as 'The Wolverine'

Hugh Jackman's character 'The Wolverine' also died in 2017 film Logan. The actor himself remained adamant that he will not reprise the role. However, Ryan Reynolds travelled to a whole different universe to bring the 'anchor being' back to the Marvel. 'Deadpool & Wolverine' saw the two coming together and bringing the house down for a rollercoaster of action and fun.

3- Chris Evans as Human Torch

Chris Evans, popularly known for his portrayal of 'Captain America' in the Marvel films, got his happy ending in the 'Avengers: Endgame'. To bring him back from that would definitely look cruel and unfair to his legacy. The actor, hence, returned as 'Human Torch', a character he had portrayed in 20th Century Fox's films, in 'Deadpool & Wolverine'. Reports suggest that Chris Evans will return again as a cameo.

4- Scarlett Johansson

Scarlett Johansson's character Black Widow sacrificed herself in 'Avengers: Endgame' while trying to stop Hawkeye and retrieve Soul Stone. However, reports suggest that the actor is involved in a secret Marvel project and might get a standalone series.

5- Wesley Snipes

 Wesley Snipes returned as Blade in 'Deadpool & Wolverine'. According to reports, Snipes agreed for the cameo after getting a call from 'Deadpool' star Ryan Reynolds himself.
