]]>Marvel fans at Comic-Con were treated to one epic surprise after another, but the announcement of the new Doctor Doom was certainly the most epic moment. The crowd of 6,500 people erupted into applause when a man in green stepped on stage, revealing he was Robert Downey Jr. after taking off the mask.
The Russo brothers described his casting as “proof of the unimaginable possibilities of the Marvel Universe.” They’re returning to direct Downey in Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars, set to hit the theatres in 2026 and 2027.
Seeing Downey cast as Doctor Doom was quite a shocker for fans, but he made it clear he’d be happy to return to the MCU after winning an Oscar for Oppenheimer.
“It’s too integral a part of my DNA. That role chose me. And look, I always say, ‘Never, ever bet against Kevin Feige.’ It is a losing bet. He’s the house. He will always win,” he told Esquire earlier this year.

]]>The Avengers: Endgame actor will be playing Doctor Doolittle in Universal Pictures’ new film.
The doctor was created by author Hugh Lofting in 1920 and featured in several children’s books as a man who could speak to animals.
Downey Jr. will now be using that skill as he embarks on a perilous adventure to save the young Queen of England who has fallen ill. He is accompanied by a menagerie of animals — and, of course, runs into a few who mean him harm.
Antonio Banderas, Michael Sheen, Jim Broadbent, and Harry Collett star in live-action roles, with John Cena, Marion Cotillard, Ralph Fiennes, Selena Gomez, Tom Holland, Rami Malek, Kumail Nanjiani, Octavia Spencer, Emma Thompson, and Frances de la Tour all providing their voices as animals.
Doolittle opens at cinemas on January 17th, 2020.

]]>The Avengers: Endgame actor starred as the famous detective in Sherlock Holmes and Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows.
With the second film having been released way back in 2011, you’d be forgiven for forgetting that Downey Jr. ever donned a deerstalker.
The good news, however, is that the third film in the series seems to be back on track!
Warner Bros. had originally intended to release Sherlock Holmes 3 in December 2020, but then delayed the movie until Christmas Day 2021.
Part of the reason was the absence of a director, with Guy Ritchie, who helmed the first two, not doing so for the third.
Ritchie’s replacement has now been announced as Rocketman director Dexter Fletcher.
While plot details have not been revealed, Jude Law, who plays Dr. Watson, has indicated that it will focus on his and Sherlock’s relationship after having not seen each other in as long as we haven’t.
