Deadpool & Wolverine not only marked the entrance of Ryan Reynolds' Merc with a Mouth into the MCU, but also introduced the concept of anchor creatures. According to the film, each world in the multiverse has a unique anchor creature. Following this revelation, a theory began to take shape that Iron Man was the anchor creature of Earth-616. Now, Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige has addressed this theory.

With the introduction of anchor beings into the multiverse, a popular theory posits that Tony Stark was the anchor being on Earth-616, due to the sacrifice he made to defeat Thanos' army. With his demise, the sacred timeline could be on its way to its ultimate destruction. Kevin Feige weighed in on this theory in a recent interview. However, he did not confirm or deny the claims.
In an interview with ComicBook.com, Feige was asked if Iron Man was the anchor of the sacred timeline mentioned in Deadpool & Wolverine. The Marvel president didn't give a definitive answer, but did say he was pleased with the creative question.
He said, “The fact that you're even asking that makes me happy, and that the term has sparked your imagination to even ask that question.”
