Robert Downey Jr stunned fans as the Iron Man star removed a mask during the San Diego Comic-Con Hall H panel to reveal that he will play Doctor Doom, one of Marvel’s biggest villains, in the upcoming film Avengers: Doomsday.

The panel on Saturday was flooded with hooded figures wearing masks of the comic book villain known for his sorcery and science when Downey Jr revealed his face. “I like playing complicated characters,” he said as fans began to chant his name.

I don't know how I feel about this. I've seen so many terrible iterations of Dr. Doom in prior movies, and I just want a well done Doom because he's one of my favorite characters. I'm trying to picture Doom speaking like RDJ and it just really throws me off.

Apparantly there's a multiverse with Tony becoming Dr Doom so.... This could be interesting.

I'd love for the first Dr. Doom in the MCU to just be the Victor Von Doom we know from the comics. After that, sure, bring on the alternate reality versions.

Technically, with the multiverse, everything that has gone before is out there and part of the MCU. So we've had multiple Dooms, the first one in films being Joseph Culp.
