Downey Jr. posted a photo staring at the mask after the announcement.
However, Downey Jr. won't be reprising as Tony Stark/Iron Man, who perished in "Avengers: Endgame." Instead, the Oscar winner will be breaking bad as Dr. Victor von Doom -- one of Marvel Comics' original villains, Dr. Doom.
Robert Downey Jr. speaks onstage during the Marvel Studios Panel in Hall H at SDCC in San Diego, CA, July 27, 2024.Joe Russo then said, "As proof of the unlimited possibilities of the Marvel , we give you the one person who could play Victor von Doom."Robert Downey Jr. says he'll 'happily' return to Marvel Cinematic UniverseAt this, a figure wearing a green suit emerged, dramatically walked to the front of the stage and took off his silver mask, revealing Downey Jr.
"New mask, same task," Downey Jr. said, referring to the difference between Iron Man's faceplate and Doom's covering. He added, "I tell ya, I like playing complicated characters." As reported, the "Oppenheimer" star had hinted that he reconsidered a return to Marvel, after 10 appearances as Stark beginning with 2008's "Iron Man." For his part, Kevin Feige insisted to Vanity Fair they'd never "magically undo" Stark's climactic "Endgame" sacrifice -- and apparently, the Multiverse will provide a way to bring Downey Jr. back without doing just that.Downey Jr.
