Robert Downey Jr. is getting double the Marvel fun in 2026.
One of the most highly anticipated films of the year is Avengers: Doomsday, as Downey Jr. is making his way back to the MCU timeline, but with a major catch. This time, he is taking on the role of the villainous Victor von Doom, a.k.a. Doctor Doom, serving as the main antagonist. However,
At D23 2026, which ScreenRant is in attendance for, it was revealed that the Avengers Infinity Defense, set to open at Disney California Adventure in 2028, will feature Downey Jr. reprising his role as Tony Stark for the first time since Iron Man's death in Avengers: Endgame back in 2019.
