Robert Downey Jr. Returning to the Marvel Universe: But Not as Iron Man!

In recent years, when criticism has increased that Marvel is not what it used to be, a development has occurred that will drive fans crazy with joy. New Avengers movies called Doomsday and Secret Wars were announced at the Marvel panel at the Comic-Con fair last night.

In addition to the introduction of the new Avengers films, perhaps the most important event in the presentation was the return of Robert Downey Jr., one of Marvel’s iconic names. Unfortunately, the master actor, who last appeared in 2019’s Avengers: Endgame, will not return to the Marvel universe with the Iron Man character as expected.

Russo, whom we know well from the productions of Captain America: The Winter Soldier (2014), Captain America: Civil War (2016), Avengers: Infinity War (2018) and Avengers: Endgame (2019), is the director of Marvel’s upcoming Avengers movies called Doomsday and Secret Wars. The brothers will sit.

That wasn’t the only surprise from Comic-Con’s Marvel session. Towards the end of the panel, Robert Downey Jr., who has long been rumored to return to the Marvel universe, officially confirmed the claims by appearing on stage in his Doctor Doom costume. Of course, let us point out that there was a huge round of applause on stage at these moments.

Comprehensive details about the new films have not been shared at the moment. However, let us say that, as the name suggests, Robert Downey Jr. will appear before the audience with the character of Doctor Doom in the movie Doomsday, which will be released in May 2026. On the other hand, it is not clear yet whether he will appear in Secret Wars, which will be released exactly one year later in May 2027.
