Is going from superhero to supervillain the next step for Robert Downey Jr.? The actor who entertained audiences as Iron Man for over a decade is reportedly in talks to return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but this time as the iconic villain Doctor Doom.According to sources close to the project, Downey Jr. is in early negotiations to play the role of Victor Von Doom in the upcoming "Avengers: Secret Wars" film. The character is one of Marvel's most recognizable and powerful villains, known for his intelligence, arrogance, and mastery of magic.
The news of Downey Jr.'s potential return to Marvel has sent shockwaves through the entertainment industry. Many fans have expressed excitement at the prospect of seeing the actor take on a new role in the MCU, while others have questioned whether he is the right fit for the character.
One source close to the production told Variety that "RDJ is looking for a new challenge, and he thinks playing Doctor Doom would be a great way to show his range as an actor."
