Marvel Cinematic Universe star Robert Downey Jr. reveals how he was cast as Doctor Doom in Avengers: Doomsday. At San Diego Comic-Con this year, Marvel announced Downey Jr.’s return to the MCU as Doctor Doom, which came as a shock considering the actor had retired from the franchise in 2019’s Avengers: Endgame. However, instead of returning as Iron Man in Avengers: Doomsday, the Academy Award-winning actor will instead be playing Victor von Doom aka Doctor Doom, as he recently confirmed while discussing how the casting came about.
Downey Jr. recently appeared on The Hollywood Reporter’s Awards Chatter Podcast, where he opened up about his return to the MCU and how he landed the Doctor Doom role. It turns out that having him back as Iron Man was never something Marvel Studios and Downey Jr. discussed, as they wanted to make sure this could be a special return for the actor.
