I was watching the latest season of Stranger Things, and there was something about the new cast member, Joseph Quinn. Then it hit me - he looks and acts like a young Robert Downey Jr. I know Marvel is all into their de-aging technology, but if they ever want to have another Tony Stark a few years down the road, this actor might be able to pull it off on his own.

Astroby: "If anyone can get you home again, it's me."
Iron Man: "Then, let's go-go-go, Astroboy!"
This was the very first anime I ever remember watching as a pre-schooler. Thanks for the nostalgia, Ross. :-)
Given how Marvel is leaning into the Multiverse, they could get Joseph to play a Variant Tony.
Osama Tezuka "The God of Comics" is great!
While he's in the past, Astro Boy should visit Astro City...
Quinn's an incredible actor. I had seen him as a poor but educated Londoner in Howard's End, and when I realized Eddie the American DM and Dio fan was the same actor I was completely gobsmacked.

…and encounter Vance Astro walking the Jetsons dog, Astro!
Um, are you sure it's not Iron Man who's displaced in time?
Daviticus is right. From the word balloons, I gathered it was Iron Man who was stuck in the future. Or, at least, an alternate future. For example; that could very well be San Fransokyo in the background! Thereby making it possible for a sequel to be done...guest-starring Big Hero 6.
P.S.---yes, I know Baymax has already appeared here, twice. But, those were individual appearances alongside Hiro! Not the entire group.
Astroboy and Iron Man meet Big Hero 6? Yeah, I'd be happy with seeing that.

Oh, I'm sure that it is Iron Man who's displaced... but I thought that Astro Boy getting him back home might "have to" involve Astro Boy paying a visit to Tony's home time-period as well. I should have explained better in my previous post.
In that case, I retract my previous support for Carycomic's suggestion and recommend that Astroboy get to meet either the 1st or 2nd Robo Forces as part of Simreeve's suggested sequel.
Under any other circumstance, I might yield to the temptation of making a July 4th pun by calling Anonymous a "Benedict Arnold"! But, given the fact neither Robo Force has been seen here, for over a year and a half, I'll (reluctantly) second Anon's revised recommendation.
That's the American spirit, Cary! :-)
