Robert Downey Jr. He is preparing for a Marvel return, but as you know, not like the hero we have known for over a decade.

The actor who gave life to Tony Stark Iand has helped to launch the MCU is entering the role of Dr. Doom for Avengers: Doomsday AND Secret wars. But before completely embracing this new chapter, Downey recently used a moment to reflect on what Iron Man has meant for him.

Speaking to Sxsw, the actor shared the way his time as Tony Stark resonated with him, saying: “17 years I was associated with an iconic superhero, but you know, is the message that I am grateful for”

“Tony [Stark] Open the wider eyes to power technology must have an impact on the world, and it is something that I will bring with me for the rest of my days. “

While Downey firmly closed the door on the return as Stark in the MCU, it adapts as Iron Man one last time for the imminent Disneyland Stark Flight Lab Attraction.

There are also reports that there could be more versions of the main characters of the Avengers who present themselves in these next two Avengers films. This leads some to hypothesize that there is a possibility that Tony Stark should appear.

Directors Joe AND Anthony RussoIt seems enthusiastic about his transformation, recently sharing: “He is writing a background, costume ideas. He really loves the rich three -dimensional characters, and I think he sees a real opportunity here”.

It is still difficult to imagine Doom as Doom, especially because we all know him as Tony Stark. But Marvel clearly has a plan and there is a possibility that we will give our first look at his opinion on the character in this summer The Fantastic Four: First Steps.

We will just have to wait and see. Avengers: Doomsday is set for May 2026, with Avengers: Secret Wars Following May 2027.
