Robert Downey Jr., who has endeared himself to many through his remarkable portrayal of Tony Stark (Iron Man) in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, is set to reappear in this universe as Doctor Doom, a character he’ll bring to life in upcoming films like Avengers: Doomsday and Secret Wars. Despite his new role, Downey Jr.’s iconic performance as Iron Man will forever hold a special place in fans’ hearts. Interestingly, the actor recently paid tribute to Iron Man’s legacy in a heartfelt manner while discussing some exciting new attractions coming to Disneyland.
This year’s South by Southwest (SXSW) is underway in Austin, Texas, and has already seen a number of high-profile attendees. During one panel, Robert Downey Jr., along with Disney Entertainment co-chairman Alan Bergman and Disney Experiences chairman Josh D’Amaro, made an appearance. In the discussion about technology for theme park attractions, the Academy Award winner (as reported by THR) shared how Tony Stark’s genius has influenced his own life.
For 17 years, I’ve been linked with a renowned superhero, but it’s the message he symbolizes that I truly appreciate. Tony Stark broadened my perspective on how technology can transform the world positively, and that’s a lesson I’ll cherish throughout my life.
In the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), Tony Stark embodies the realm of technology, demonstrating its potential for both good and bad applications. With a knack for looking to the future, Stark significantly influences his surroundings. As he tells Pepper Potts in the first Iron Man film (available on Disney+), he’s been labeled in various ways, but “nostalgic” isn’t one of them. This forward-thinking attitude is admirable and understandably appreciated by RDJ.
It’s hard to accept that it’s been almost two decades since Robert Downey Jr. debuted as the witty and ambitious Tony Stark. Over the years, the star, along with numerous writers, directors, and producers, have contributed to giving Stark a complex journey filled with battles against both personal and external demons. In 2024, Downey looked back on his long-running role as Iron Man, expressing gratitude for being associated with such a character while also humorously admitting that the excitement of playing him diminished slightly over time.

The renowned actor is eagerly accepting an unusual task as he dons the metallic boots of Victor Von Doom. It appears he’s fully committed to the role and is going to considerable efforts to ready himself. Directors Joe and Anthony Russo, who are working on Avengers: Doomsday and Secret Wars, shared that the actor has been actively involved in shaping Victor Von Doom’s background for the upcoming Marvel films.
Don’t worry, fellow fans, Robert Downey Jr. has moved on from Tony Stark, but he’s still returning to the role for Stark Flight Lab – a thrilling new attraction coming soon to Disneyland’s Avengers Campus. Additionally, there’s a brand-new dark ride called Avengers: Infinity Defense being added to the park. This immersive journey through multiple worlds promises not to disappoint Marvel and theme park enthusiasts alike!
It’s heartwarming to see that RDJ continues to maintain a bond with Tony Stark’s character, and I can only wish he keeps the love for technology associated with the role alive in future years. Meanwhile, as we eagerly await his big-screen appearance as Doctor Doom in “Avengers: Doomsday” (releasing May 1, 2026), take a trip down memory lane by streaming the Marvel films featuring Stark on Disney+, and follow his journey in chronological order.
