When the funeral scene for Tony Stark was shown, many people, including myself, didn’t initially recognize the young man standing toward the back of those gathered. As it turned out, it was Ty Simpkins who played the role of Harley Keener, Tony’s young friend who helped him out in Iron Man 3. With the end of the Infinity Saga and the Tony Stark story reaching its tragic but heroic conclusion, the MCU is moving on to their next stage in their plan to rule the cinematic world. Ty Simpkins would love to play a part. Apparently so do the fans.
Recently fans have been suggesting Simpkins for the role of Iron Lad and he is onboard with the idea. The fact that in the comics, Iron Lad is the adolescent version of Kang the Conqueror, who in the future would be a foe of the Fantastic Four didn’t give Simpkins any pause. He would more than willing to play a villain in order to take on the Iron Lad mantle:
Yes, 100%. I would love that! I’d do it, I’d do it. Without a doubt.
How would you like to see Ty Simpkins as Iron Lad? Perhaps Kang the Conqueror is more to your liking? Share your thoughts with us at GVNation.
