As revealed by Kevin Feige during the Hall H panel, Robert Downey Jr. is returning to the MCU as villain Doctor Doom in Avengers: Doomsday (previously Avengers 5). “New mask, same task,” he quipped on stage.
It was also revealed that the casts of Fantastic Four (Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach) and Thunderbolts* (Florence Pugh, Sebastian Stan, David Harbour, Wyatt Russell, and more) would be part of the next two Avengers films Doomsday and Secret Wars.
Kevin Feige also confirmed that Joe and Anthony Russo, directors ofAvengers: Infinity WarandAvengers: Endgame,would be returning to direct the two upcoming Avengers movies. That’s despite Kevin Feige previously stating thatwasn’t happening.
“Joe and I truly believed Endgame was the end of the road for us,” Anthony Russo said. “In the time since, through a special story, we have come to potentially see a road to take with you all.”
Previously, theAvengers 5title was Avengers: The Kang Dynasty. However, the title was changed and Kang actor Jonathan Majors wasdropped by Marvel Studiosafter being found guilty of reckless assault in the third degree and harassment last December.
