Fantastic news 𒁃for those who want to see RDJ return to the MCU even sooner than expected

Robert Downey Jr.'s first Doctor Doom appearance has reportedly been revealed by a notable scooper – and it's not 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Avengers: Doomsday.
According to , Robert Downey Jr.’s Doctor Doom will first show up in a separate movie's post-credits scene or mid-credits scene, with Sneider then going on to speculate that it could be during 2025’s 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Fantastic Four.
The ex-Iron Man actor was unveiled as part of the Avengers: Doomsday cast during the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Marvel SDCC panel. The members of Fantastic Four and Thunderbolts were also confirmed to be part of what was previously titled Avengers: The Ka𒅌ng Dynasty.
While it’s exciting news for those looking towards Marvel’s immediate future, we🍨 should exercise caution in this case. After all, Jeff Sneider’s track record h♚as been good, yet inconsistent, in recent years.
He’s certainly called some major MCU news right – including that as well as being months before it was made official – but not all of his scoops in the past have been verified or proven correct. Let’s take this one with a Hulk-sized pinch of salt for now ✃as there’s no reason for Marvel to come out to confirm or deny the news.
Plans can, of course, change. But we certainly wouldn’t♊ be surprised if Robert Downey Jr. shows up in Fantastic Four. The link between Reed and Doom is obvious, given their comic book history, but there’s the🍒 added eyebrow raise of Fantastic Four director Matt Shakman telling that he’s had to keep the surprise casting under wraps "for a while."
Was Marvel just keeping the director in the loop – or is it something more? We&rsqu🧜o;ll find out when Fantastic Four (starring Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach) flies into cinem📖as on July 25, 2025.
