Robert Downey Jr. Returning to MCU as Doctor Doom

San Diego Comic Con’s Hall H was a buzz during the Marvel panel thanks to the surprise announcement that Robert Downey Jr. will be returning to the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Doctor Doom. The Oscar winner will make his debut as the iconic Marvel baddie in a new “Avengers” movie titled “Avengers: Doomsday,” which will be directed by Joe and Anthony Russo.  The directing duo will  helm two new “Avengers” movie- “Doomsday,” which will introduce Victor von Doom/Doctor Doom, and “Avengers: Secret Wars.”

“Avengers: Doomsday ”replaces the previously announced “Avengers: Kang Dynasty,” which has presumably been scrapped thanks to Jonathan Majors getting let go from the MCU after being found guilty of reckless assault and harassment.

Marvel also released a timeline for the remainder of Phase V and Phase VI:

  • Agatha All Along – September 18th, 2024 on Disney+
