Audiences fell in love with young Morgan Stark (Alexandra Rachael Rabe), the precocious daughter of Tony Stark/Iron Man in Avengers: Endgame. Born during the five year time jump after Thanos murdered half the universe, Morgan had a close relationship with her father and displayed an early interest in his Iron Man suits when she found and donned a blue-and-gold helmet Tony was making for Morgan's mother, Pepper Potts.
Tragically, the movie ended with Tony sacrificing his life to save the universe, although a final holographic message allowed him to give his young daughter a final goodbye, reiterating her much-quoted line, "I love you 3000." Many fans immediately began speculating that Morgan would one day take over her father’s role and become a new Armored Avenger, possibly in the next generation team the Young Avengers.
Speculation grew even higher when it was revealed that a deleted scene had Tony meet with the adult Morgan (played by Katherine Langford) in the Soul Stone who may have inherited her father’s incredible intelligence. While only time will tell whether or not Morgan Stark will return to the MCU as the epic series continues, some Iron Man fan artists are already sharing their visions of such a time – including artist KokoDraws01 from Deviantart.
Drawn for a friend’s birthday gift, the fan art shows an adult Morgan Stark suiting up in her own Iron Man (Iron Woman?) suit as she gazes down at her helmet and re her father. As she does, Tony’s spirit or memory appears before her, stroking her face with one hand and touching her helmet in the other. Check it out below:
The English translation of their lines reads:
Morgan: I hope you’re proud of me dad, wherever you are.
Tony: More than you can believe, kid.
It’s a stunning, inspiring, and very poignant piece that any fan of Tony and Morgan’s relationship in Avengers: Endgame can appreciate. Morgan’s suit is obviously of her (and KokoDraws01’s) original design, being considerably more streamlined and organic-looking than Tony’s previous suits. Her facial features show a strong resemblance to Tony’s yet also bear a strong pensive look, suggesting a woman who’s been struggling to live up to the legacy of a man she never got to grow up with.
Tony, meanwhile, seems curiously calm – suggesting that if he is a spirit, he’s been with Morgan all of her life. It’s a sweet image that follows many fan theories about Morgan’s future. While only time will tell if Morgan Stark ends up playing a bigger role in the MCU’s future, it’s clear that fans of such Iron Man fan art will want to see Morgan following in her father’s footsteps. Certainly, many audiences would love that 3000.
