Right now, no such offers have come up from Marvel for Mr Chan. Jackie Chan made his wishes known about playing Iron Man in an interview. However, it is unknown whether Marvel heard them or not.

“I didn’t say I retired; what I said when I was making Chinese Zodiac was that it would be my last big action movie, and obviously, that turned out not to be true,” Chan said in an interview. He added, “No one wants to pay me the big money to play in sci-fi movies. Everyone wants to see me do action.”
Jackie Chan further said, “But I have to tell my audience, sometimes I might use a stunt double now, you might see some green screen, forgive me because I’m not young anymore.”
