After Joe and Anthony Russo openly announced at the San Diego Comic-Con, about Robert Downey Jr’s return to the MCU, not as Iron Man, but as the iconic villain Doctor Doom, the news has left fans baffled. But amid widespread confusion among fans, what seemed even more shocking is how the actor’s Marvel co-stars are reacting to his return. 

While fans are expected to be shocked, considering that they aren’t aware of Marvel’s internal plans and discussions, it seemed surprising that even Downey Jr’s co-stars like Anthony Mackie, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Jeremy Renner are equally perplexed. Taking to social media platforms and online interviews, the actors have unanimously voiced their bafflement over the news. 

However, among all, the one Avengers: Endgame star whose remark added to the whirlwind of confusion is Lexi Rabe. Playing Tony Stark’s daughter Morgan in the last installment, Rabe flawlessly captured the utter confusion over the plot twist, in just one word. Taking to the comment section of Robert Downey Jr’s big reveal post on Instagram, Rabe simply dropped a crisp and hilarious response “Dad?”. 

Potential Overview of How Avengers Actors Might React to Robert Downey Jr’s Doctor Doom

Considering the chaotic confusion surrounding Robert Downey Jr’s return as Doctor Doom in the MCU, fans are constantly wondering about one simple thing – how will the actor, best known as Tony Stark/Iron Man, pull off the transformation into Doctor Doom? Although Marvel Studios is known for its unpredictable storytelling, this time it simply crossed limits by altering Downey Jr’s legacy as Iron Man with the menacing Doctor Doom. 

On a hilarious note, considering the actors’ reaction to Robert Downey Jr’s Doctor Doom, we can only imagine how each of their characters might react in the upcoming Avengers movies. It seems Marvel might have the scope to include some Deadpool-like humor in the upcoming films. While it might be emotionally draining to watch Downey Jr. in his baddie era, let’s imagine how few of the Avengers might react. 

Beginning with Spider-Man, who considered Tony Stark as his mentor and father figure, we believe Robert Downey Jr’s return as Doctor Doom might leave some psychological impact on the web-slinger. Followed by Thor, all we can do is hope that he doesn’t break open Doom’s skull with Mjölnir. As for Bruce Banner, given that he’s a man of science, we believe the character might be both intrigued and analytical about Downey Jr’s new character. 

In the end, MCU’s next chapters seem unpredictable and promising, considering all the thrills that are waiting. Only time will tell, whether Robert Downey Jr’s Doctor Doom will be a game-changer, or it will mark the beginning of the end. So buckle up, Marvel fans – the road to Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars is shaping up to be a wild one. 

Avengers: Endgame is available on Disney+.
