Insiders Reveal Downey’s Doctor Doom to Debut in ‘The Fantastic Four: First Steps’
The news of Robert Downey Jr.’s return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe has become one of the most talked-about topics in entertainment. This explosive revelation has everyone buzzing about Downey and the MCU’s future, which now feels more exciting with fresh anticipation for fans. Marvel truly made a splash at San Diego Comic-Con with this announcement.
However, this wasn’t the original plan. Jonathan Majors, as Kang the Conqueror, was set to be the central villain leading up to Secret Wars, but following Majors’ domestic abuse scandal, Marvel had to pivot. Doctor Doom emerged as a strong alternative, though whether Downey’s casting in the role will pay off remains to be seen.
Regardless, fans are eagerly anticipating Downey’s MCU debut. While Marvel Studios hasn’t confirmed when that will happen, a reliable insider suggests that Doctor Doom may appear much sooner than expected.
