We seem to have picked up some insight on what EA Motive is doing with their Marvel’s Iron Man game.
As shared by OwnEquivalent4108 in the GamingLeaksAndRumours subreddit, EA has a new job listing for a level designer, and they specifically say that it’s for the Iron Man game. The job listing shares these details:

Motive was the studio who worked on the 2023 Dead Space remake, Star Wars Squadrons, and Star Wars Battlefront II. After EA had layoffs last month, some people from Respawn moved into Motive to make Marvel’s Iron Man. We also learned early on that they picked up writer Ashley Cooper from since 2023. Cooper’s gameography includes World War Z, Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2, Jurassic Park: Survival, and Gotham Knights.
Even now, the public doesn’t have a clear picture on how far Motive has gotten with Marvel’s Iron Man. It’s possible that they are deep in development, and these job openings are about the project properly scaling up and working towards completion. We’re all certainly hopeful that this new batch of upcoming Marvel Super Heroes video games will live up to our expectations.
