Avengers directors Joe and Anthony Russo are keeping schtum about the plot circumstances surrounding Robert Downe⛎y Jr's Doctor Doom role, but they have teased a one-of-a-kind performance from the one-time Iron Man actor.

"We can’t explain tꦯhat as it's part of the story," Anthony Russo said in an interview with . "But there's nobody𝓡 else in the world who could play this character the way he's about to."

"If you've got Robert Downey Jr, who's one of the great creatives of the last however many years we've been watching him for, mixed with the elements of how we can make movies these days? I think it's going to be pretty extraordinary," McMahon enthused dꦗuring an interview with .
