Iron Man star Robert Downey Jr has been cast as the supervillain Victor Von Doom in a bombshell twist for the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
He’ll be portraying the iconic nemesis of the Fantastic Four in two new Avengers movies helmed by returning directors the Russo Brothers; Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars.
The first of which is replacing Avengers: Kang Dynasty, which fell through when the actor portraying Kang the Conqueror, Jonathan Majors, was fired after being found guilty of assault and harassment.
This will mark Robert’s first return to the MCU after Tony Stark’s death in Avengers: Endgame.
