What Robert Downey Jr. as Doctor Doom’s Concept Trailer Means for Phase 6

Since Robert Downey Jr’s return to the MCU timeline was announced at SDCC 2024, has been one of the most discussed aspects of this franchise, as the actor was never expected to take on a role as Doctor Doom. How Marvel Studios needs to reconfigure its plans for Avengers 5 (when it was known as Avengers: The Kang Dynasty,) having Downey Jr. back as the main antagonist of the Multiverse Saga opens up a lot of ways how they can tackle Victor’s MCU debut.

THE Avengers: Judgment Day The concept trailer serves as a great reminder of how much excitement there is about Doctor Doom’s arrival in the MCUand how Downey Jr. will portray him. The MCU’s Doctor Doom setup already seems to create a different take on the character, especially given Robert Downey Jr’s history as Iron Man. Robert Downey Jr.’s version of Doctor Doom will almost inevitably evoke an emotional reaction from many MCU characters, as they are now facing someone who looks like one of their fallen allies.

Our Take on the Robert Downey Jr. as Doctor Doom Concept Trailer

While the Avengers: Judgment Day The concept trailer offers a fascinating look at how Doctor Doom will make himself known to the Avengers, will likely be executed in a very different way when the film hits theaters in 2026. With Downey Jr’s new arc in the MCU being the biggest thing to happen in the Multiverse Saga, it will be exciting to see how everything will be handled once Phase 6 ends. Hopefully once Avengers: Judgment Day Principal photography is underway in 2025, more updates on Downey Jr.’s Doctor Doom
