Chatting to Den of Geek, Iain gave some disappointing news about the future of his character, explaining: "We had really loyal and supportive and brilliant fans of the show, so I wouldn’t want to disappoint them and say no, but at the same time I think it’s nice that they had their ending and I think it’s nice to leave them."

He added that he would love to work with Elizabeth Henstridge, who played Gemma on the show, adding: "I love her very much."

Although the show concluded back in 2020, the MCU often sees popular characters returning to various shows or films - so we hope to see Fitz return one day!
