Robert Downey Jr. to Return as Iron Man for Disney’s Avengers Campus & More

As a seasoned gamer and avid Marvel fan with over two decades of fandom under my belt, I must say that Robert Downey Jr.’s return as Iron Man, albeit in a voice-acting role for Disney’s California Adventure, has me grinning ear to ear!


Fans are speculating whether Robert Downey Jr., who is set to play the villainous Doctor Doom in Marvel’s upcoming Avengers films, might reprise his role as Tony Stark (Iron Man) within the MCU. Despite this, recent rumors suggest that the 59-year-old actor may take on Tony Stark again, but it will be on a different media platform instead.

Let’s discuss the latest updates on Robert Downey Jr.’s potential comeback to the Marvel universe, focusing on whether he might resume his iconic character, Iron Man.

Robert Downey Jr. to voice Tony Stark at Disney’s California Adventure

Marvel officially announced that Robert Downey Jr. will, indeed, reprise his role as Iron Man/Tony Stark and lend his voice to the beloved character in upcoming attractions at Disneyland.

The confirmation came at Disney Parks’ D23 event on Saturday, as reported by ComicBook.com. Robert Downey Jr., who has been the iconic figure of Marvel’s continuously growing cinematic universe since his debut in the first Iron Man film in 2008, wore the legendary armor for eleven years before hanging up the suit following 2019’s Avengers: Endgame.

Despite previous assumptions, Robert Downey Jr. is indeed reprising his role as Iron Man for Disneyland’s Avengers Campus. The Academy Award-winning actor is slated to voice the beloved character in two upcoming attractions at the theme park. One of these new additions, known as Stark Flight Lab, is due to commence construction in 2025. As per Disney, this ride will feature a two-person pod that operates as a flight simulator, offering fans an immersive experience within one of Stark’s suit-building laboratories.

As a passionate gamer, I’m thrilled about the upcoming attraction at Avengers Campus: Avengers Infinity Defense. This second thrilling experience brings back Robert Downey Jr. as none other than Iron Man! Plus, you can expect an epic encounter with the formidable King Thanos himself. The adventure takes you on a journey through various Marvel Cinematic Universe locations, from the mystical Asgard to the technologically advanced Wakanda. Can’t wait to be part of it!

Will Robert Downey Jr.’s Iron Man return in MCU?

To date, it’s only been confirmed that Robert Downey Jr. will return as Iron Man in the new Disneyland attractions. As a result, it’s unlikely that he will play this famous character on the big screen again.

Although there’s no official confirmation, some fans have suggested that Robert Downey Jr.’s upcoming Doctor Doom role might share links with Iron Man. Many believe Victor Von Doom could be a sinister, alien version of Tony Stark. However, Marvel has yet to announce any news on this subject.

As a devoted fan, I’m thrilled to share that in 2026, I’ll get another chance to see Robert Downey Jr.’s return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe through Avengers: Doomsday. The masterminds behind this epic project are none other than the Russo brothers!
