Tonight, Marvel Studios made numerous announcements during its Hall H presentation but one announcement stands above them all.
Robert Downey Jr., who was the cornerstone of the MCU’s Infinity Saga as Tony Stark/Iron Man, will return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Doctor Doom. Avengers 5 has gone from Avengers: The Kang Dynasty to Avengers 5 to Avengers: Doomsday.
Downey will play the villainous role in Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars. Downey said it was a “new mask, same task” when it came to his new role within the MCU.
The Russo Brothers will direct the next two Avengers films as well. Stephen McFeely, who co-wrote Infinity War and Endgame with Christopher Markus, will write the new Avengers movies.
Avengers: Doomsday will premiere in May 2026.
