Watch the moment Robert Downey Jr was revealed as Dr Doom

His casting was announced during San Diego’s Comic-Con on Saturday by MCU President Kevin Feige. He also announced the return of directing duo the Russo Brothers, known for making Avengers: Infinity War and Endgame. They are coming back to direct two more Avengers sequels -- Secret Wars and Doomsday, with the latter to introduce Robert’s Doom.

Robert is playing Victor Von Doom, a brand new addition to the MCU. His character Iron Man died in Avengers: Endgame. Social media users have reacted to the news with bafflement, with some bringing the return of Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine to the universe as another example.

“Both of these scenes mean nothing now,” wrote one user on X, formerly known as Twitter. Reacting to the post, one user said, “No it's not. Tony stark and victor von doom are completely different characters. The Wolverine we have now is not the same one from logan. It's just a varient”, another one shared, “Nah, both of those characters are dead. We got variants now. Also, welcome to the world of comic books”.
