A few years ago, Marvel Studios’ comic book movies were among the highest-grossing and most adored series ever. But over time, they ran out of steam and a few not-so-great titles caused the franchise’s luster to begin to fade. Maybe that’s why Marvel decided to play it safe and brought back their biggest star.

Robert Downey Jr. is coming back

Slightly controversial Robert Downey Jr. he was the biggest star of the previous phases of the Marvel studio films, i.e. phase 1, 2 and to a certain extent also phase 3. The huge success of the original Marvel films is largely due to this charismatic actor, who of course played the role of Tony Stark, respectively the hero Iron Man.

In his costume, Robert Downey Jr. appeared for the last time in 2019, in the Avengers: Endgame team-up, and it was roughly from this period that things started to go downhill for the Marvel girls quite vigorously. Therefore, it was speculated that the beloved actor would return to the game, and that’s what happened in the end. But he returns in a slightly different role and literally changes his coat.

From hero to villain

It took place at Comic Con in San Diego on Saturday big reveal the cast of the new Avengers movies and Robert Downey Jr. was really under one mask. But a little differently. In the next Avengers, he will not represent Iron Man, but the villain Doctor Doom (Victor von Doom). The audience was ecstatic and it seems history repeats itself.

Robert Downey Jr. He’s returning to the brand at a time when it’s not exactly in the best of moods and his job is to rekindle interest in Marvel. Just like he did in 2008 when he debuted as Iron Man and became an instant crowd favorite. Will he do the same nearly two decades later and will Marvel become the number one franchise again? Only time will tell.

The original directors are also returning

Robert Downey Jr. will appear in the role of Doctor Doom in 2026, more specifically in the title Avengers: Doomsday and a year later in another sequel with the subtitle Secret Wars. Fans of the original Marvel movies will certainly be pleased that they will be filmed by the Russo brothers (Anthony and Joe), who are signed to Avengers: Infinity War and Endgame. After leaving Marvel, they are more or less just floundering and need a return to the limelight like salt.
