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.

    didn’t Tony Stark have a twin?

    If I recall correctly, he has a corrupt time traveling nephew. And…

    He’s had to fight his own corrupt future self at least twice. He’s been replaced by AI at least twice three times (I remembered a third).

    And there’s alternate timelines where he becomes Sorcerer Supreme, and where he becomes Doom.

    As Movie Bob says, ‘Comics are Weird’.
