Returning to "Avengers 5" as Doctor Doom! Downey Jr. posted a photo with Doom mask

Marvel announced its subsequent blockbuster works, among which "Avengers 5" and "Avengers 6" have been officially confirmed and will be released on May 1, 2026 and May 7, 2027.

The most surprising thing about "Avengers 5" is the addition of Robert Downey Jr., the original actor of Iron Man, who plays the villain Doom/Doctor Doom.

Robert Downey Jr. also posted a photo of himself with the Doom mask and said: "Different masks, same mission."

It is understood that Doctor Doom's original name was Victor von Doom, a super villain under Marvel.

He was born in a fictional small Eastern European country, Latveria. He did not have any superpowers, but later through study and chance, he mastered a lot of magical knowledge, and his magic level could compete with Doctor Strange.

Because he was disfigured in the experiment, he wore a metal mask and developed armor that was no less than Iron Man's, as well as various high-tech equipment.

Relying on magic and high technology, Victor dominated the area, seized the supreme power of Latveria, and then gradually promoted it to a world power. At the same time, he tried to conquer the outside world and fought against superheroes such as the Avengers and the Fantastic Four many times.

Doctor Doom is famous for pursuing the mysteries of the universe at all costs. He has been involved in many great powers in the universe and has become extremely powerful many times, but in the end he was defeated by superheroes because evil could not prevail over good.
