Robert Downey Jr. Cast as Doctor Doom in Marvel's Avengers: Doomsday

The MCU shifts focus to Doctor Doom as its central villain, following the departure of Jonathan Majors' Kang.

Robert Downey Jr. will portray Doctor Doom in the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday, marking a significant shift in the MCU's narrative focus.
Marvel decided to replace Kang with Doctor Doom due to legal issues and lukewarm reception of Jonathan Majors' character.
Doctor Doom's character is expected to have a significant relationship with Tom Holland's Spider-Man, potentially driving major plot points.
Speculation suggests that Doctor Doom might lead a team of villains similar to Thanos' Black Order, increasing the stakes for Avengers: Doomsday.
Marvel's strategic casting of RDJ as Doom aims to boost excitement and financial success for the upcoming Avengers films.
