Iron Man star Robert Downey Jr. becomes Doctor Doom for the Marvel Cinematic Universe through new Avengers: Doomsday art. As Phase 6 will bring The Multiverse Saga to an end, some of the most crucial projects are currently being worked on at Marvel Studios, including the highly-anticipated Avengers: Doomsday film. Downey Jr. will bring Marvel’s iconic supervillain Doctor Doom to life in the MCU, following his journey portraying Iron Man through Phases 1-3.

With production underway on Avengers: Doomsday, Downey Jr.’s return as Doctor Doom is obviously one of the many aspects of the film that fans are waiting to get more details on. In the meantime, HipBeach shared new Avengers: Doomsday art, showing Downey Jr.’s Victor von Doom suiting up as Doctor Doom. Check it out below:

The Avengers: Doomsday art sees Downey Jr.’s Victor with a damaged face as he gets ready to put on the iconic Doctor Doom helmet. Downey Jr. will also reprise the role of Doctor Doom in Avengers: Secret Wars, which will also be directed by Joe and Anthony Russo, who is helming Avengers: Doomsday.

What The Robert Downey Jr. As Doctor Doom Art Means For Avengers: Doomsday

With concept trailers and fan-art pieces constantly being released by various artists of Downey Jr. as Doctor Doom, it’s clearer than ever that fans really want to see what his Victor is going to be like in the MCU timeline. Given how this casting became one of the biggest surprises from Marvel Studios of all time, there is obviously going to be a lot of speculation from the MCU fandom about Downey Jr.’s take on Doctor Doom in the upcoming MCU movie.

Since Avengers: Doomsday production is happening at the moment, time will tell if Downey Jr.’s Doctor Doom will be revealed through any filming that takes place on location. As Doctor Doom is one of the biggest characters that the MCU will be tackling through Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars, it’s an even bigger deal that Downey Jr. will be the one to portray him.

But with the multiverse concept at their disposal, there are bound to be logical story reasons in place that justify why Doctor Doom looks like Tony Stark in another universe. With the many Doctor Doom designs that also exist in the comic lore, it will be fascinating to see which iteration Marvel Studios go with for Downey Jr.’s version.

Our Take On The Robert Downey Jr. As Doctor Doom Art

As haunting as it is to see the Avengers: Doomsday art with Downey Jr. as Doctor Doom, it will likely be even more dramatic to see the Avengers veteran as the big bad of The Multiverse Saga once footage starts to get released. With Downey Jr.’s Doctor Doom bound to change the MCU as fans know it forever, Phase 6 will definitely be the end of an era for Marvel Studios. Hopefully, more details on what fans can expect from Downey Jr’s upcoming version of Doctor Doom in Avengers: Doomsday will be revealed later in 2025.
