Robert Downey Jr. believes Avengers: Doomsday could be a turning point
In his recent interview with Entertainment Weekly following the San Diego Comic Con 2026, Robert Downey Jr. mentioned that he has seen a preliminary version of the movie Avengers: Doomsday and was quite impressed.
“It is absolutely fantastic," said the Academy Award-winner when asked about his initial reaction, before adding, "I think we may redeem ourselves yet.”
Russo Brothers recall hearing Doctor Doom's voice for the first time
In another interview with People, directors Joe and Anthony Russo revealed more details about Robert Downey Jr.'s surprise work with the voice of Doctor Doom in the film, particularly because he had been playing Tony Stark/Iron Man for years.
"That was something that Robert surprised us with one day,” Anthony said. “You know, we were talking about all the details of the character — the voice, of course, is a key part of it, especially in the mask. So one day I think it was in the trailer, we were just sort of talking about some ideas and he broke out into the voice. And we knew at that moment, that was it.”
Joe Russo noted that Robert Downey Jr.'s performance as the iconic Marvel villain immediately caught his attention, particularly because of the accent the actor adopted for the role. Joe ranked the delivery as an incredibly memorable experience, comparing its impact to Downey's famous “I Am Iron Man” finger-snap sequence, and observed that the actor has a consistent track record of producing unforgettable cinematic scenes.
