That’s quite something, isn’t it? Downey posted this on his massive Instagram account, reaching out to his impressive 57 million followers, some of whom are well-known celebrities. The comments from these stars really fit their personas.
A few years ago, there was a buzz online when it came to light that Gwyneth Paltrow wasn’t aware of her role in “Spider-Man: Homecoming.” She has confessed that she doesn’t follow closely the events of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Instead, she enjoys working with Robert Downey Jr., and recently commented on his Instagram video about Doctor Doom.
I don’t get it, are you a baddie now?
From my perspective as a gamer, I have to admit, that was quite unexpected. The news that Robert Downey Jr. would take on a new character in the MCU had fans reeling. And honestly, I wasn’t overly familiar with the shared universe myself, so when I learned he would be portraying Doctor Doom following Iron Man’s demise during the climax of Endgame, I was taken aback.
The Russo Brothers, known for directing that film, have been announced as the ones in charge for the upcoming two “Avengers” movies. They left a comment on RDJ’s post about it.
We’ve always said green is your color…
Additionally, Mark Ruffalo, another collaborator on the Avengers series, joined the conversation in the comment section, adding to the excitement about Downey’s unexpected comeback to the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Hey Brat, green suits you
As a huge fan of both Mark Ruffalo and the Marvel Cinematic Universe, I’m absolutely thrilled to see him taking on the role of Doctor Doom! The energy and excitement surrounding “Brat Summer” and Charlie XCX’s album are palpable, and it’s not surprising that the green color of the album cover has gone viral.
In a recent post regarding Downey’s newest part, Frank Grillo and Zoe Saldaña shared their enthusiasm using emoticons. This indicates that the fans’ excitement matches that of the characters themselves.
I’m sorry to break it to the fans, but you may need to be patient for more details about Robert Downey Jr.’s anticipated comeback to the shared universe with Avengers: Doomsday. The film is predicted to premiere in cinemas on May 1, 2026. In the meantime, feel free to explore the movie release schedule for 2025.
