As a seasoned moviegoer with decades of experience under my belt, I must say that the prospect of Robert Downey Jr.’s Doctor Doom gracing the Marvel Cinematic Universe is nothing short of exhilarating! The idea that the Russo brothers are back at the helm, and that they’ll be directing not one but two Avengers films featuring none other than RDJ himself, is enough to send shivers of anticipation down my spine.
In a creative twist, fan art breathes life into the role of Doctor Doom portrayed by Robert Downey Jr., in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The fictional character Victor von Doom (Downey Jr.) is depicted with a chilling gaze, eyeing his prey on a mock movie poster for the upcoming film “Avengers: Doomsday,” set to hit theaters in summer 2026. This menacing image of the Fantastic Four’s arch-nemesis, sans mask, reveals green-tinted scars marring his visage. The user who shared this intriguing cinematic concept on Instagram commented:
“Experiencing a New Mask for an Old Task!
Last weekend at the Marvel Studios San Diego Comic-Con panel, Robert Downey Jr., dressed as Doctor Doom alongside other actors, flipped the MCU’s multiverse upside down. Accompanied by the Russo brothers, they hinted that only one actor could portray the next Avengers villain. With the grand reveal, RDJ stepped forward, removed his mask, and struck a pose for the audience.
RDJ’s Return Is Only the Beginning
Over the last fortnight, the Marvel Cinematic Universe has experienced a significant boost. The joint appearance of Deadpool and Wolverine at the box office has generated an impressive $824.1 million worldwide within merely two weekends since release. Robert Downey Jr.’s surprising departure from Tony Stark/Iron Man to embrace Doctor Doom in Avengers: Doomsday has left fans astounded. Moreover, Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige didn’t hold back on bringing Downey Jr., as well as the Russo brothers, back for future projects.
The directors responsible for “Captain America: The Winter Soldier,” “Captain America: Civil War,” “Avengers: Infinity War,” and “Avengers: Endgame” are set to introduce the RDJ/Doctor Doom era, as the Russo brothers will take charge not only of “Avengers: Doomsday,” but also “Avengers: Secret Wars” in 2027. They are expected to be generously compensated for their work, with reports suggesting they’ll earn $40 million per film, totalling $80 million.
Robert Downey Jr., who is also speculated to appear briefly in “Fantastic Four: First Steps,” is set to earn a substantial sum, beyond $80 million according to Variety, for his role as the masked Victor von Doom in “Doomsday” and “Secret Wars.” Meanwhile, the Marvel Cinematic Universe appears to have shifted course significantly following the underwhelming performances of “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania” and “The Marvels.”
The participation of Downey Jr. in _Avengers 5_ and _6_ has undeniably sparked a wave of excitement and anticipation for the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s future, whether it’s seen as positive or negative that he’ll be portraying Doctor Doom. Additionally, the intriguing interaction between Deadpool (Ryan Reynolds) and Thor (Chris Hemsworth) in _Deadpool & Wolverine_ suggests that another popular anti-hero could potentially make an appearance in _Avengers: Doomsday_ or _Avengers: Secret Wars_.
As a movie buff, I can’t help but ponder over the incredible lineup that’s been announced for the upcoming films: Robert Downey Jr., Ryan Reynolds, Chris Hemsworth, Hugh Jackman, Mark Ruffalo, Brie Larson, and Benedict Cumberbatch are all set to appear together. With the Russo brothers at the helm, this promises to be a blockbuster event that’ll dominate the box office in 2026 and 2027. If everything aligns perfectly on the big screen, it seems the DC Universe might have missed its chance to challenge the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) head-on.
The blockbuster film “Avengers: Doomsday” is set to premiere in the month of May, specifically in the year 2026. On the other hand, “Avengers: Secret Wars” will follow suit a year later, making its debut in May 2027.
