Robert Downey Jr Playing Victor Von Doom In Russo Brothers’ ‘Avengers: Doomsday’ – Comic-Con

The one surprise at Marvel‘s Comic-Con they saved for last: Robert Downey Jr is returning to the Marvel Universe as Victor Von Doom in the Russo Brothers’ Avengers: Doomsday.

Along with the Russos returning to helm a two-part Avengers movies, they mentioned they’d need to tee up before Avengers: Secret Wars, a dream project of theirs, with another movie: Avengers: Doomsday. This clearly replaces Avengers: Kang Dynasty.

Essentially Kang Dynasty was deflated in the wake of the actor who played him, Jonathan Majors, getting fired from the MCU after being found guilty of reckless assault and harassment.
