As a long-time Marvel fan and avid follower of the MCU, I must say that I was absolutely taken aback by the unexpected return of Robert Downey Jr. as Dr. Doom in “Avengers: Doomsday”. The news came as a shock not just to the wider Marvel community, but particularly to his fellow co-stars, especially Jeremy Renner who confessed to being left in the dark about this development.
Fans of Marvel were taken aback when Robert Downey Jr. announced he would portray Dr. Doom in Avengers: Doomsday at SDCC, but none were more surprised than Jeremy Renner, who plays Hawkeye in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). Renner made his debut as Hawkeye in Kenneth Brannaugh’s Thor back in 2011. Alongside Downey Jr.’s Iron Man, Hawkeye and Iron Man first shared the screen in the initial Avengers movie, and their characters became crucial to the Infinity Saga storyline, climaxing in Avengers: Endgame. Despite their close friendship (both on-screen and off), Renner had no idea about Downey Jr.’s comeback to the MCU.
In an interview with US Weekly, Chris Evans shared that he was totally taken aback by Robert Downey Jr.’s unexpected cameo at San Diego Comic Con this month. As Marvel enthusiasts were left scratching their heads trying to comprehend what they had just seen, Evans immediately reached for his phone to quiz his friend about the latest development. Evans explained:
“I was completely taken aback. This person I consider a close friend never mentioned anything to me, and yet we share a group chat with the Avengers family. Among the original six, he kept quiet. I logged in and began calling him repeatedly, asking, ‘What’s happening? You’ve been keeping this secret from us all along?’ The news is thrilling. I’m genuinely ecstatic about it.”
Not every MCU Star Is Happy About Robert Downey Jr.’s Return
Jeremy Renner, one of Robert Downey Jr.’s fellow Avengers actors, has been the first to publicly comment on Downey Jr.’s return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). After Tony Stark’s self-sacrificing act in “Avengers: Endgame,” there were speculations that Downey Jr. might part ways with the MCU following his well-deserved Oscar win for “Oppenheimer.” Given their close friendship, it is reasonable to assume that Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo, Scarlett Johansson, and Chris Evans are equally thrilled about their friend’s return.
Nevertheless, it’s worth noting that one previous MCU actor feels disheartened by Robert Downey Jr.’s return. Jonathan Majors, who played Kang the Conqueror in Loki and Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, was let go from the role following a protracted legal case involving accusations of assault and harassment against an ex-partner. Despite the court’s decision against him, Majors maintains his innocence regarding these charges. In a recent conversation, the actor expressed sadness over Kang being replaced by Dr. Doom in the MCU.
In conversation with TMZ, the actor hinted at a potential reprisal of his role in the future, expressing his delight if Marvel Studios were to invite him back for another round. In simpler terms, he stated that he would be thrilled to play the role again if given the opportunity by Marvel Studios.
Absolutely! Absolutely! I adore him, and that’s Kang you’re referring to. If it’s what the audience prefers and Marvel approves, then let’s move forward with enthusiasm. Yes, indeed!
In the exciting comeback of Robert Downey Jr. to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, we find two of the franchise’s top-performing directors, Joe and Anthony Russo, also making their return. Known for blockbuster hits like “Avengers: Endgame,” which ranks second in all-time box office earnings, the Russos will collaborate with Downey Jr. once more on the MCU projects titled “Avengers: Doomsday” and “Avengers: Secret Wars.”
The entire MCU is available to stream on Disney+.
