Robert Downey Jr. Doctor Doom comes to life in Marvel Cinematic Universe Thanks to an amazing piece of fan art, Victor Von Doom (Downey Jr.) stares menacingly at his prey in a fake movie poster created for the upcoming film. Avengers: Judgment Day The film is set to hit theaters in the summer of 2026. The Fantastic Four's most fearsome foe is pictured without his mask (below), and his skin is scarred with green scars. The social media user who posted the fictional image of the film wrote (via Instagram):
New mask, same mission.
Doomsday.
Does this make sense? No. Am I excited? Yes, absolutely!
Maybe I was just enjoying the event at the SDCC Marvel Panel.
I feel like I'm back in the old days with all the discoveries.
I felt that Doom specifically was very similar to the one in Hall H. We'll see how they explain that.
I wish there was a multiverse explanation instead of just “RDJ plays a different role”.
What do you think about this decision?
Downey Jr. turned the Marvel Studios multiverse upside down during the Marvel Studios San Diego Comic-Con panel last weekend when the Oscar-winning actor appeared on stage in disguise with a number of other Doctor Dooms in emerald costumes. With the Russo brothers present, and hinting that only one actor could play the role next The Avengers The villain, RDJ, stepped forward, took off his mask and dressed up in front of the crowd.
RDJ's comeback is just the beginning.
It's been a huge two weeks for the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Deadpool and Wolverine The Marvel Cinematic Universe film has revitalized the Marvel Cinematic Universe at the box office, with a global gross of $824.1 million in just two weekends of release. RDJ shocked the world by leaving Tony Stark/Iron Man behind in the past, taking on the mantle of Doctor Doom in Avengers: Judgment DayMarvel Studios President Kevin Feige has spared no effort to bring back not only Downey Jr., but also Joe and Anthony Russo.
Directors behind Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Captain America: Civil War, Avengers: Infinity War And Avengers: Endgame It will herald the RDJ/Doctor Doom era as the Russo brothers take over not only Avengers: Judgment Day, but Avengers: Secret Wars (2027) as well. And they'll be getting paid handsomely for their efforts, with reports revealing they'll be getting $40 million for their work on each film ($80 million total).
RDJ, who is also rumored to be appearing in a small role in Fantastic Four: First Steps, He will make “significantly more” than $80 million (according to Variety) for his portrayal of the masked Victor Von Doom in Doomsday And Secret WarsIt seems that the MCU has taken a hard left turn after the disappointing results of both Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania And Wonders.
