com. A post shared by Robert Downey Jr. (@robertdowneyjr) Downey’s return as the villainous Victor von Doom has come as a massive shock to the fandom, including the ecstatic audience at Marvel’s presentation at San Diego Comic-Con.
The star made a triumphant appearance in Hall H to talk about his return. The actor’s first appearance as the super-genius Tony Stark was in 2008’s ‘Iron Man’, which was the first instalment in the interconnected Marvel Cinematic Universe devised by Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige. In his over a decade-long journey in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Downey reprised the role in 10 films, including ‘Iron Man 2’, ‘Iron Man 3’, ‘The Incredible Hulk’, ‘The Avengers’, ‘Captain America: Civil War’, ‘Avengers: Age of Ultron’, ‘Spider-Man: Homecoming’, ‘Avengers: Infinity War’, and ‘Avengers: Endgame’, which featured the death of Iron Man.
Feige emphasised to Vanity Fair last December that he had no interest in undermining Downey’s emotional exit. Join Whatsapp Channel of The Tribune for latest updates..
