Robert Downey Jr. as Doctor Doom? Viral Set Pic Fuels Fan Frenzy
June 2, 2025: Marvel fans, assemble! The MCU is officially back in action with Avengers: Doomsday entering production—and fans are already buzzing over what may be the first look at Robert Downey Jr. as Doctor Doom.
A leaked image has gone viral online, showing a mysterious figure clad in Doctor Doom’s full metallic armor and iconic green cloak, surrounded by crew members on set. While the individual’s face is obscured, fans are speculating it could be RDJ himself, marking a dramatic shift from his days as Iron Man.
“The suit looks comic-accurate!” one user praised, while another pointed out, “There’s NO way RDJ is in the full getup… the final look will be mostly CGI.”
Despite the skepticism, many are thrilled by the “comic-accurate” design, even if it’s still likely a pre-CGI version. Some believe this suit could be a placeholder for post-production enhancements, similar to what Marvel has done in past films.
This image follows a recent Instagram post by Robert Downey Jr., in which he’s seen reading Jeremy Renner’s book “My Next Breath” in front of a trailer. The background? A comic-style poster of Doctor Doom with the words: “Do not knock. Trust yourself.” The subtle nod was enough to send speculation soaring.
“What a journey to wisdom … very instructive … a must-read!” Downey captioned the post, flexing his biceps and fueling fan excitement.
Joining Downey in Avengers: Doomsday are several MCU heavyweights:
Originally slated for May 1, 2026, the release has now been pushed to December 18, 2026.
The return of Robert Downey Jr., not as Iron Man but as the formidable Doctor Doom, marks a bold move for Marvel Studios. Whether this leaked image is truly RDJ in costume or just a stunt double placeholder, one thing is certain: Avengers: Doomsday is shaping up to be the most anticipated MCU event in years.
