  • Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark / Iron Man: 
    The benefactor of the Avengers who aids them by using electromechanical suits of armor of his own making.[4][5] According to directors Joe and Anthony Russo, Downey was one of the few actors to read the entire screenplay for the film.[6] Screenwriters Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely knew that the film would inevitably feature Stark's death both as a "[move] to selflessness" and as an end to the "chapter" Stark started. They felt that his death was earned after granting him "the perfect retirement life," adding, "That’s the life he’s been striving for...They got married, they had a kid, it was great. It’s a good death. It doesn’t feel like a tragedy. It feels like a heroic, finished life."[7] Joe Russo explained that Stark "always knew he was going to die because he could never reconcile that notion in himself of not protecting the universe," and added that Stark was the most defiant among the Avengers since "Stark is the most formidable of all of them...because of his heart.”[8] The Russos sought Downey's approval for Stark's arc, which they had developed since Captain America: Civil War (2016).[9] Stark having no dialogue during his death scene was Downey's idea.[8]
