Robert Downey Jr. Returns to the MCU as DOCTOR DOOM! | Russo Bros. to Direct Avengers: Doomsday & Secret Wars!

MOVIE Morning

Hey everyone, Marvel Studios’s SDCC panel for 2024 has now come and gone… and we, of course, have tons of new details from their upcoming projects to discuss. However, most of it - I thought - was pretty superfluous and felt like a lot of information that didn’t really mean much in the long run. There were some awesome details such as learning we’ll be getting the Fantasticar in the upcoming Fantastic Four film, now (weirdly) titled ‘The Fantastic Four: First Steps’. That’s the one upcoming MCU project that has trumped all my concerns in the MCU because of how much I love those characters. Despite all the details regarding Fantastic Four, Thunderbolts* and Captain America: Brave New World that we got, the only things I really wanted to discuss here is, of course, the return of the Russo Brothers to direct Avengers 5 & 6, now titled ‘Doomsday’ and ‘Secret Wars’ respectively AND, more controversially, the return of Robert Downey Jr. to the MCU. However, he isn’t returning as Iron Man but rather legendary Marvel Comics (normally Fantastic 4) villain, Doctor Doom. Here, I break down all the news relating to Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars so make sure to listen if you’re hyped about the upcoming culmination of The Multiverse Saga.
