Deadpool & Wolverine: Kevin Feige on Iron Man Being Earth-616’s Anchor Being

As a long-time Marvel fan and avid gamer, I’ve seen my fair share of theories and speculations about the MCU. The latest one that has piqued my interest is the Iron Man anchor being theory. Having grown up watching Tony Stark’s journey from a selfish billionaire to a selfless hero, his sacrifice in Avengers: Endgame to save the universe was a poignant moment for me.


1. In the MCU, Ryan Reynolds’ Deadpool and Wolverine debut not only launched his character, the Mouthy Mercenary, but also introduced the idea of “anchor beings.” According to the film, each universe in the multiverse has its own unique anchor being. This concept has sparked a theory suggesting Iron Man is the anchor being for Earth-616. Now, Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige has commented on this theory.

In the multiverse concept, it’s believed that Tony Stark, a.k.a. Iron Man, served as Earth-616’s anchor being, thanks to his selfless act of defeating Thanos’ forces. This sacrifice supposedly kept the sacred timeline from getting derailed and ultimately meeting its doom. Kevin Feige shared his thoughts on this theory during a recent interview but didn’t confirm or deny the speculations.

Speaking to ComicBook.com, Feige was questioned about Iron Man’s role as the foundation character in the time-line hinted at in Deadpool and Wolverine. While he didn’t explicitly confirm it, Feige appreciated the imaginative question.

1. “His response was, ‘I’m glad you thought to ask that because it shows your curiosity, and it seems the concept sparked your creativity to come up with such a question.'”

As a passionate fan, I can’t help but ponder the intrigue surrounding Feige’s cryptic responses regarding the theory of who could be Earth-616’s anchor. Despite Iron Man, aka Tony Stark, making the ultimate sacrifice to save the universe, this mystery remains unsolved, leaving room for other potential candidates to step into the spotlight.

An essential being significantly influenced the storyline of Deadpool and Wolverine. As Mr. Paradox, portrayed by Matthew Macfadyen, put it in the film, an anchor being is “a creature so indispensable that when they pass away, their entire universe gradually fades out of existence.”

In “Deadpool & Wolverine,” it comes to light that Logan, the sad ending portrayed in the 2017 film “Logan,” was crucial for the existence of Earth-10005, where Wade Wilson resided. With Logan’s demise, this earth began its descent towards extinction, leading to the storyline in the movie.

As an avid fan, I’m thrilled about Robert Downey Jr.’s confirmed return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). This news opens up intriguing possibilities regarding multiversal storylines that could unfold in future installments. However, MCU head honcho, Feige, hasn’t given us a definitive answer about the theories suggesting Tony Stark as Earth-616’s anchor being. The significance of anchor beings in the MCU’s upcoming projects remains uncertain for now.

I’m thrilled to share that Robert Downey Jr. is set to make a menacing comeback to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. In May 2026, he will don the villainous cloak as the main antagonist in Avengers: Doomsday. And just when you thought you’ve seen the last of him, he returns once more! In May 2027, Downey Jr. will reprise his role as Doctor Doom in Avengers: Secret Wars. I can hardly wait to witness his mastery of mischief and manipulation on the big screen yet again!
