As a gamer with over two decades of experience under my belt, I can’t help but feel a tad nostalgic when it comes to Marvel’s latest announcement. The return of Robert Downey Jr. as Victor Von Doom has sent shockwaves throughout the gaming community, and I find myself torn between excitement and a dash of melancholy.
Since Marvel Studios introduced Jonathan Majors as Kang the Conqueror, there has been growing interest and debates about who might be the next major villain in the Avengers series. Some speculated that he would be replaced or a new antagonist would be chosen. However, the San Diego Comic-Con provided fans with some clarity on the future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).
The Russos have disclosed that Robert Downey Jr. will reappear in a new role – this time, he won’t be playing Tony Stark, but rather Marvel Comics’ most famous supervillain, Victor Von Doom. This unexpected news sparked a whirlwind of responses online, with fans expressing a range of feelings worldwide. In addition to fans, MCU actors such as Mark Ruffalo and Gwyneth Paltrow have also shared their thoughts on Downey’s comeback. Check out the comments below.
I don’t get it, are you a baddie now?
Hey Brat, green suits you.
In a recent development, Major, who was dismissed last year following his misdemeanor assault conviction, responded to this latest news. Earlier, the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) had planned to establish his villainous character within their universe, starting with his appearance in Loki Season 1, followed by Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania and Loki Season 2. However, due to Major’s departure, they removed the Avengers: The Kang Dynasty title from Avengers 5, which was later renamed as Avengers: Doomsday, featuring RDJ. Interestingly, it appears that Major may not be pleased with RDJ taking over his role as the main antagonist, and here’s why.

In a recent chat with TMZ, Majors shared his feelings about RDJ coming back as Victor Von Doom. He admitted that he’s deeply saddened by Marvel’s choice to swap Kang The Conqueror for Dr. Doom instead. Furthermore, he openly expressed his fondness for Kang and considered Dr. Doom as a “miscreant” or “villain”.
Referencing Downey’s struggles with the law during the 90s, Majors expressed, “It seems just that Mr. Downey is receiving understanding, intrigue, and affection… and he has the opportunity to express his talent and be creative at such a high level. I didn’t receive similar treatment.”
Additionally, he has shown enthusiasm about reprising the role of Kang in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. If both fans and Marvel are open to this, he is ready and willing to come back.
