The festivities marking Robert Downey Jr.’s 60th birthday could potentially hint at the appearance of Doctor Doom in the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday. The actor who played Oppenheimer stirred quite a buzz when he announced his comeback to the MCU, five years after he bid farewell to his role as Iron Man. So far, Marvel has been tight-lipped about how Downey Jr.’s reprisal of the villainous Victor Von Doom will unfold. However, it appears that fans might have just gotten their first sneak peek at the character through his on-stage appearance.

For his birthday celebration, Robert Downey Jr. posted a unique invitation inspired by Doctor Doom. The image depicted him atop a caravan, wearing a green military-style outfit, a purple cape, and an Iron Man-like mask. He was also shown holding symbols in each hand that suggested a blend of magic and science.

Coincidentally, the same hairstyle worn by the Academy Award winner was spotted at his recent party, according to NexusPointNews. This has sparked speculation that Robert Downey Jr.’s portrayal of Victor Von Doom in Avengers: Doomsday might feature a similar hairstyle, given that production for the project is already in progress. However, neither Marvel nor Downey Jr. have publicly confirmed this speculation as of now.

Fans react to potential Doctor Doom look for Avengers: Doomsday

Although Robert Downey Jr.’s appearance might differ from how he’ll appear as Doctor Doom in upcoming movies, fans have eagerly expressed their thoughts on the subject. One fan, for instance, complimented the updated look of Doom, saying, “This is fiery! Can’t wait for future films that aren’t bound by source material,” on platform X (previously known as Twitter).

In a contrasting viewpoint, the well-known internet source @MyTimeToShineH expressed skepticism about Doctor Doom’s rumored appearance, stating, “I sure hope that’s not how he looks.” Another fan shared similar reservations, expressing their disappointment under his post, saying, “That is hands down the worst Doom outfit I’ve ever seen. He has at least 25 better ones.

Simultaneously, Joe Actor emphasized the humorous aspect of the tale and drew a parallel between Downey Jr.’s wavy hair and that of esteemed director Taika Waititi, stating playfully, “Is it just me or do they share the same vibe?

Avengers: Doomsday is scheduled to come out in May 2026.
