With help from Rocket Raccoon and Hulk, Stark forged the Nano Gauntlet, capable of harnessing the power of the six Infinity Stones. Once Stark precisely moves all the Infinity Stones with his holographic tech and successfully finished putting them on the Nano Gauntlet, he was completely shocked and happy to finish, before Rocket Raccoon had startled him.

After settling the gauntlet down on a table, Tony noticed that Thor volunteered to bring everyone back from the dead, only to be stopped on his tracks. While Thor had to explain the team that he felt responsible to save the universe, Stark understood his reasoning but noted that Thor is in no critical condition. Hulk then volunteered to wield the gauntlet, noting what Thanos did with the Infinity Stones, which almost killed him and that none of them could survive.

It was decided that Banner would be the one to wield it, and Tony specified that Hulk bring back the victims of the Snap to their present and not change anything else, fearing that his daughter would no longer exist. After Tony told F.R.I.D.A.Y. to lock down the New Avengers Facility, he watched Hulk put on the Nano Gauntlet and initially struggled to wield the Infinity Stones, while the version of Nebula from 2014 modified the quantum tunnel to allow 2014 Thanos and his forces to arrive in 2023.

Despite the immense pain that he suffered due to his use of the stones' raw energy, Hulk was then able to snap his fingers, but fell to the ground unconscious shortly after doing so. Stark used his suit to cool down Hulk's scorched arm as Ant-Man saw several birds suddenly appear out of nowhere, while Barton received a call from his wife who had initially perished in the Snap, indicating that Hulk was successful in reversing the Snap.

Despite their victory, however, the Avengers were unable to celebrate as 2014 Thanos's Sanctuary II had arrived in 2023 and opened fire on the Avengers seconds later, burying the New Avengers Facility in rubble and leading War Machine, Hulk, Hawkeye, and Ant-Man to be trapped inside while Iron Man, Captain America, and Thor stayed on top. Once Stark survived the rubble, he walked toward Rogers unconscious body on the ground and woke up, giving back his Shield.
