“When we directed Avengers: Endgame, we really believed it was the end for us in the Marvel Cinematic Universe,” Joe said to the Comic-Con audience (as reported by Variety).

While some fans are thrilled about the news, others are not so thrilled about Downey Jr.’s appointment.
After starting his career as Iron Man in 2008 and playing the role until his death in Avengers: Endgame, the actor is making a comeback to the MCU.
Iron Man, better known as Tony Stark, is portrayed by Downey Jr. as a charming intellect with a laid-back demeanor, leaving fans to worry how he will handle such a sophisticated and intense enemy as Doctor Doom.
