Avengers: Endgame is the Marvel Cinematic Universe movie that explains why Doctor Doom is on the path that fans will find him in Avengers: Doomsday, as a key update just confirmed. Robert Downey Jr. was crucial to the formation of the MCU when he gave life to Tony Stark back in 2008’s Iron Man. Without that hit movie, there would be no MCU.
Since then, the MCU’s slate of projects has grown in extraordinary ways. Every single member of the MCU’s original Avengers team either got to lead a movie or a Marvel series on Disney+. That said, in 2019’s Avengers: Endgame, two of them died. Both deaths were sacrifices to help Earth’s Mightiest Heroes defeat Thanos, with Scarlett Johansson’s Black Widow dying for the Soul Stone, and Downey’s Iron Man to snap Thanos out of existence.
Now, seven years later, RDJ is officially returning to the franchise he helped build. Perhaps the MCU’s most ambitious movie to date, Avengers: Doomsday brings back the star, who will now play the Avengers’ main villain, Doctor Doom, instead of the team’s main hero. Ever since Downey was cast as Doctor Doom, several theories about Victor’s connection to Tony Stark have emerged.
