Downey last portrayed Tony Stark/Iron Man in 2019’s Avengers: Endgame. Spoiler alert: Stark died in that film.
“That four-movie run was incredible,” Anthony Russo said of the Avengers films, prior to the announcement that Downey would be returning as Doom, per The Hollywood Reporter. “And it left us really spent, with all of our emotions on the floor. In the time since, through a very special story, Joe and I have come to potentially see a road forward with you all.”
Stephen McFeely, who along with Christopher Markus and the Russos co-wrote previous Marvel films, will be returning to write the upcoming Avengers movies.
Side note: Both them shits better start with some fucking MF DOOM.
RIP.
