Marvel announced the shocking news during its San Diego Comic-Con panel
Robert Downey Jr . is coming back to the MCU. The actor who set the Marvel Cinematic Universe in motion back in 2008 with Iron Man appeared during Marvel’s big July 27 Hall H panel at San Diego Comic-Con to make the announcement. Even more shocking than his return is that it won’t be as Tony Stark — this time RDJ will be taking a turn as the villain, specifically as Victor Von Doom , and fans feel a lot of different ways about the news.
After the Avengers defeated Thanos in Endgame, the franchise has been in desperate need of a new overarching villain to face off against, which was supposed to be Kang the Conqueror, played by Jonathan Majors. That plan went up in flames after Majors was arrested, and later convicted, on domestic violence charges, after which Disney fired him. And with middling responses to the recent film and television projects that have followed Avengers Endgame, Marvel is in urgent need of a big win.
