What is Robert Downey Jr.

Marvel Studios have just dropped a huge bomb with his Avengers: Doomsday Announcement of the cast, confirming 27 actors for the next great crossover event. But among all the revealed names, Robert Downey Jr. He was the only one who showed up in the end.

And he made sure to leave fans with something to obsess. After the five and a half hours livestream, in which the actors were revealed through labeled chairs, Downey walked randomly in the frame, sat down, looked at herself on the right shoulder, put a finger on the lips and silenced the audience.

So, Marvel’s fans are fans of Marvel, they immediately connected this small gesture to which Wandavision. More specifically, the great revelation of Agatha Harkness in episode 7.

When Kathryn Hahn’s Agatha has finally dropped his act as a “neighbor”, he did exactly the same thing with a director’s chair, contacting the camera and arousing the audience before revealing his left plan.

Of course, this triggered a fire of speculation. This could mean that Scarlet Witch is actually also in Avengers: Doomsday? Elizabeth Olsen It was not among the actors revealed during the event, but this would not have been the first time that Marvel played with Coy with the casting. Marvel also made fun of other news about the casting.

Some fans claim that it makes sense with the story of Wanda left on an open note Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. If someone could tie to Doom’s plans, it would be her.

Then there is the elephant in the room, Olsen herself denied both of them Avengers: Doomsday OR Avengers: Secret Wars. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, he said: “I’m not involved in those films … I don’t have a contract. I have nothing. Nobody contacted me.”

Regardless of this, Marvel’s actors have already lied to this kind of thing. Just ask Andrew Garfieldwho sworn up and down that he was not in Spider-Man: No Way Home… until, well, it was.

So what do downey’s little one does Wandavision-Style Tease actually means? I don’t think it’s by chance. Marvel knew what they were doing.

A theory is that it is less than Scarlet Witch and more than change in his character. Perhaps this was simply a nod to his transition from hero to bad, going from Tony Stark to Victor von Doom.

After all, Agatha’s Shush moment marked the revelation of someone we thought was “good” who turned out to be the true master of puppets behind the chaos.

Could it be what Downey is mentioning for Doom?

In any case, Marvel fans are almost two years old to choose this moment. Avengers: Doomsday Arrives on May 1, 2026.
