Whatever the eventual explanation, one thing is abundantly clear - Avengers: Secret Wars now has the villain it needed all along. To explain why, let’s take a step back to explore Doom’s importance to the Secret Wars saga and why Marvel really needed him front-and-center if they were going to pull off an adaptation of the venerated source material.
Marvel will release Avengers: Doomsday on May 1, 2026 and Avengers: Secret Wars on May 7, 2027.

You never go "Full Marvel".

Should've cast Cillian Murphy to play Doom. Robert just plays Iron Man so well that he's just too identifiable as Tony Stark. Its too soon for him to grab another role in MCU
-
Peter: “Mr Stark….?” Doom: “No boy….Dooooooom.”
-
For Marvel, it's all or nothing now. This is how they're gonna blow up in their face and kill the MCU forever, or this might actually work out. Idk what's gonna happen, but I'm hoping for the best.

Didn’t you just post all over social media how this is a desperate attempt at marvel?? Y’all have zero integrity 😂
-
This is obviously a Doom variant that resembles Stark. Also RDJ played a black and an Irish man in a movie, he’s got RANGE SON!
-
Robert Downye Jr.'s MF DOOM.
-
People here are hating this decision, but I’m indifferent.
-
How is Avengers meant to even work when you place one of the most iconic Avenger as the Villain lol?
-
Dr. Doom? Yes. Robert Downey Jr.? No.
-
Ironman have turn into Dark side
-
RDJ is the face of mcu
-
If he can come back then Jonathan majors should be able to come back😂😂
-
YES
-
They utilizing the multiverse him coming back as doctor doom does not effect iron man legacy.
-
The doomsday logo is green ans silver, the secret wars logo is red and gold 👀
-
Imagine being the next Thanos and getting beat up by ant man 😂
-
RDJ could've been evil Iron Man working with Dr Doom but this just feels desperate, not saying RDJ can't play a bad guy just look at his role as Lewis Strauss but someone else should've been Dr Doom.
-
Really feel like they won't be able to avoid the temptation to cheapen his character with too many Ironman tie-ins.
-
Marvel pressed the desperate button endgame was once In a lifetime success
