Robert Downey Jr stunned fans as the Iron Man star removed a mask during the San Diego Comic-Con Hall H panel to reveal that he will play Doctor Doom, one of Marvel’s biggest villains, in the upcoming film Avengers: Doomsday.

The panel on Saturday was flooded with hooded figures wearing masks of the comic book villain known for his sorcery and science when Downey Jr revealed his face. “I like playing complicated characters,” he said as fans began to chant his name.

Now, I want to make reference to something about actors and jobs but it would ruin one of my favourite moments of Deadpool & Wolverine. 😆

Because there are other actors who have appeared as different characters in Marvel movies… In fact, D&W contains at least two that I can think of and one is generating a few articles in my newsfeed, although I suspect you are referring to the other, which is indeed one of the best bits of the film (and the end-credit scene).
