Robert Downey Jr., well-known as Iron Man, reveals how studio president Kevin Feige persuaded him to return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Doctor Doom.
Robert Downey Jr. is explaining how Kevin Feige persuaded him to return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Doctor Doom. Downey said Tuesday that he and the Marvel Studios boss had a conversation last year about Downey potentially returning to the MCU despite the 'Avengers: End Game' death of his previous character, Tony Stark, better known as Iron Man. “He said, ‘It just keeps occurring to me, if you were to come back,'” Downey told the Hollywood Reporter.
The 'Iron Man' actor’s involvement in theme park expansions was announced earlier this month at Disney's D23 convention, where the 59-year-old was revealed as part of the cast for two new attractions at Disneyland’s California Adventure park. Iger, who was already aware of the Downey-as-Doctor Doom concept, had expressed his approval and promptly arranged for the actor and Feige to tour Disney’s Imagineering campus in Glendale to see the ongoing projects.
