Jon Favreau called the Russo brothers after he read the script for Avengers: Endgame and tried to stop Iron Man's death from happening.

“Notes on a Scene” series, Joe and Anthony Russo broke down several of the most memorable scenes from the movies that they have directed. Unsurprisingly, one of the scenes was Iron Man’s death in. The brothers say that Favreau wasn’t on board when he first heard about the decision.scene, the Russo brothers talked about how much pressure they felt delivering a satisfying finale.

“Part of the pressure came from Jon Favreau, who called us up after he read the script, and said to us, ‘Are you guys really going to kill Iron Man?'” Anthony recounted.“I remember pacing on the corner of a stage on the phone with Favreau trying to talk him off a ledge. He’s like, ‘You can’t do this, it’s going to devastate people, and you don’t want them walking out of the theater and into traffic.’ We did it anyways.

That said, as the Russos explain, “he hadn’t stepped through the process in the way that we had.” They admit that they would have felt the same way if someone else had dropped that bombshell on them. But they believed that they had “earned the arc” that would end with Iron Man’s death as he sacrificed himself to save the universe from Thanos.

The Russo brothers have certainly left their mark on the MCU, but it’s unclear if or when they will return. We already know that
