Downey's return to the MCU comes after his 2019 retirement announcement, following the death of his character, Iron Man, in "Avengers: Endgame." His upcoming role as Doctor Doom marks a significant shift from his previous hero persona. Downey hinted at this transformation with the phrase, “New mask, same task.” "Avengers: Doomsday" is scheduled to be released in May 2026, followed by "Avengers: Secret Wars" in May 2027. This news has excited fans, eager to see Downey's new villainous role and the fresh direction the MCU is taking with these anticipated films.
