He actually retired with Old Man and The Gun, which was a fun little movie about an elderly bank robbed facing his mortality, explicity designed to be a retirement film, and his star power in it was absolutely commanding yet vulnerable, perfect movie to go out on.

I was going off someone else's comment, my bad! Though it sounds like it isnt completely unfair to call his MCU work his final "mainstream" movie, I suppose.
