by

Following his introduction in Marvel Studios’ cast reveal video, it’s speculated that the actor might be hinting at his role as Doctor Doom, given a picture snapped by a fan which reveals an unusual new hairdo he is sporting.

There’s been much curiosity surrounding Robert Downey Jr.’s role in Avengers: Doomsday, given that he is transitioning from portraying Marvel’s most recognized heroes to becoming one of Marvel’s legendary villains. In the long-awaited cast announcement video, where millions tuned into a live-stream just to watch chairs, Downey Jr. made a brief appearance, suggesting that the sleek, Stark-suited character he presented might undergo changes when he reappears on screen in the MCU – as we had anticipated something unusual.

In the U.K., Downey Jr. marked his birthday with a self-hosted party. At this gathering, an employee from the hospitality industry, Alessio Caputo, posted a picture of Downey Jr. on Instagram, offering Marvel enthusiasts a glimpse of a longer and more unruly hairstyle he’s sporting for his upcoming role. It’s possible that this is just a distraction and Downey Jr. might undergo a more drastic transformation for the Doom character, but if Doom is a variant of Tony Stark, it fits that his appearance would be somewhat wilder compared to Stark. Here’s the picture; you can decide for yourself whether it’s a hint at his upcoming role or simply a coincidence.

Robert Downey Jr. Will Join an Impressive Cast of Marvel Stars Past and Present in ‘Doomsday’

When Marvel Studios kicked off a five-hour live-stream casting announcement video with a chair displaying Chris Hemsworth’s name, viewers were taken aback. The broadcast was set to introduce some familiar faces in Avengers: Doomsday, along with a shocking revelation: some legendary X-Men actors would make their comeback after 20 years, including Ian McKellen, Patrick Stewart, James Marsden, and Alan Cumming. Robert Downey Jr.’s name appeared almost as an afterthought amidst the surprising ensemble gathering for the film.

The recent hints have sparked much debate about the movie’s plot, but Kevin Feige has indicated that “Doomsday” will primarily revolve around various groups of heroes trying to thwart Doctor Doom from locating Loki at the heart of the Multiverse and potentially annihilating the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

In the upcoming film “Thunderbolts,” and with the anti-hero team also starring in “Doomsday,” it seems likely that by the end of these movies, they’ll adopt a new identity that leans more toward the Avengers. However, it remains unclear why characters from Wakanda, the Avengers, Thunderbolts, and X-Men would all convene in one place, leading to speculation that “Doomsday” may explore stories spanning multiple universes.

Additionally, the incursion event started in “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness” needs resolution, which could be connected to the introduction of the original Fox X-Men into the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).

All in all, it’s impossible to predict with certainty what transpires in “Avengers: Doomsday”, but we can anticipate numerous misleading elements along the way. By the end, viewers prefer to go into “Doomsday” without knowing the outcome, and hopefully, the film will keep its mysteries unsolved when it’s released.
