Robert Downey Jr. is returning to the Marvel Cinemas to play Doctor Doom in the upcoming Avengers : Doomsday.

Doomsday will be the final battle between the same Doctor Doom and a new version of the Avengers defending Earth-616 .

I’ve long speculated that RDJ ’s Doctor Doom isn’t the Doctor Doom MCU fans expect.

This Doctor Doom is a version of Tony Stark with a completely different arc.

The directors say the actor is deeply involved in making Doctor Doom as complex as possible.

The Russos also tease that Tony Stark’s death is connected to the villain.

The film hits theaters in early May 2026 , and RDJ says he's excited about playing a different character.
