As a long-time Marvel fan, I can hardly contain my excitement about the return of Robert Downey Jr. to the MCU! After his epic farewell in Avengers: Endgame, it was heartbreaking to see Tony Stark, a character so deeply ingrained in our hearts, disappear from the silver screen. But now, with the revelation that he will be portraying Doctor Doom in the upcoming Avengers 5 and 6, I am beyond thrilled!
2024 San Diego Comic Convention confirmed that Robert Downey Jr., the Academy Award-winning actor, is officially re-entering the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). After his last appearance in Avengers: Endgame following his contract’s end with Marvel Studios, he will now portray the villainous character Doctor Doom. A recent report suggests that Downey Jr. will earn a substantial amount for his role as Doctor Doom in Avengers 5.
The Russo Brothers and Robert Downey Jr. allegedly secure big paydays for Avengers 5 and 6
Based on Variety’s report, Joe and Anthony Russo are set to earn a total of $80 million for directing the next two Avengers films without any back-end compensation. However, their contract includes performance incentives that will be activated when the movies reach box office milestones of $750 million and $1 billion.
According to reports, Robert Downey Jr. is expected to earn a substantial sum, exceeding $80 million, for portraying Doctor Doom in Avengers 5 and 6. His contract also offers extra benefits such as travel on private jets, a dedicated security team, and a trailer complex. The actor reportedly had specific requirements, and he agreed to return to the role only after those conditions were fulfilled.
Robert Downey Jr. currently tops the list of actors earning the most in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. His earnings are estimated to be around $500-$600 million from his roles in four Avengers films, three Iron Man installments, and various other appearances within the MCU.
1. In place of Kang, Robert Downey Jr. takes over as the main antagonist for an upcoming Avengers film in May 2026, marking his second appearance within the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Titled “Avengers: Doomsday,” this movie will introduce him as Doctor Doom. He is also set to reprise the role of Doctor Doom in “Avengers: Secret Wars” in May 2027. At present, it remains unclear what Marvel’s plans are for Downey Jr.’s character following these next two Avengers films.
