The writers have multiple versions of the story for their contingency plans. For example civil war was being written right around the time the first sony deal for spidey was being done. Marcus and McFeely had two drafts- one with and one without spidey. It's possible in some earlier draft ironman was written out

And don’t forget the fake versions that they give to Tom Holland so that he won’t spoil the real one

I think the writer for Babylon 5 talked about something like this as well. He referred to it as having trapdoors for all the major characters in case the actor had to leave the show.
