As a die-hard Marvel fan, I was absolutely thrilled when Robert Downey Jr.’s surprise appearance at Comic-Con confirmed the long-rumored return of Tony Stark as Doctor Doom in “Avengers: Doomsday” and “Avengers: Secret Wars.” The Russos’ expertise and passion for the MCU make them the perfect choice to bring these epic adventures to life.
As a Marvel fan, I can’t express how thrilling Comic-Con’s Hall H panel was, but nothing compared to the electrifying moment when Robert Downey Jr., the charismatic star of “Iron Man” and an Oscar laureate, was unveiled as making his comeback to the MCU, this time embodying the malevolent Doctor Doom. The Russo Brothers, the accomplished directors behind “Avengers: Endgame,” are set to lead us through the fifth and sixth installments of the Avengers saga, now christened “Avengers: Doomsday” and “Avengers: Secret Wars.” Downey Jr. will don a new mask as he transforms into the infamous supervillain in both films.
As a dedicated gamer and avid Marvel fan, I couldn’t hide my enthusiasm when I heard the news that the Iron Man actor himself and the Russo brothers were coming back. Needless to say, my social media feeds exploded with excitement from fellow fans after this surprising announcement.
The directors emphasized that Doctor Doom is a intricately layered character within the Marvel Universe, making it essential to find an exceptional actor capable of breathing life into him.
The Russo Brothers expressed their joy in realizing a long-held ambition by crafting tales and developing characters within the Marvel Universe. They formed a strong bond with viewers through every film they produced. Excited to team up once more with Kevin, Lou, and the entire Marvel crew, they look forward to taking this captivating narrative journey to fresh and unanticipated heights for both devoted fans and themselves.
What Happened to Kang in the MCU?
As a longtime fan of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), I was thrilled when Robert Downey Jr. was announced as Doctor Doom in “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.” However, this news left me perplexed and saddened, as I had recently seen Jonathan Majors deliver a captivating performance as Kang the Conqueror in “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania” and “Loki” on Disney+.
Back in March 2023, Majors was taken into custody for allegations of assault, strangulation, and harassment. Following this incident, his management company and PR firm severed ties with him, as did several projects, such as a commercial collaboration with the US Army. In the final month of the previous year, Majors received a guilty verdict for two misdemeanor charges of assault and harassment.
It’s intriguing how Marvel didn’t initially intend to focus on Kang until they were impressed by Majors’ portrayal of He Who Remains in the first Loki series. However, following Majors’ off-screen misconduct, Marvel has kept a safe distance from both the actor and the character, leaving us curious about their future plans for Kang.
In the current Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) phase five, “Deadpool” and “Wolverine” are making waves at the cinema and box office. The remaining titles for this phase are “Captain America: New World Order” and “Thunderbolts.” Moving forward, phase six of MCU will debut “The Fantastic Four” as an introduction, followed by the epic showdowns of “Avengers: Doomsday” on May 1, 2026, and “Avengers: Secret Wars” on May 7, 2027.
