The actor's new post has sparked a wave of discussions about the future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and Robert Downey Jr.'s possible roles.
Robert Downey Jr. has once again given fans reason to discuss the future of Tony Stark. On Thanksgiving, the actor posted an illustration on social media showing Doctor Doom and Iron Man breaking a wishbone — "for good luck." There was no caption to the post, but that was enough to start talk online about the possible return of Iron Man.
Downey is officially confirmed to play Doctor Doom in the film "Avengers: Doomsday," which is scheduled for release on December 18, 2026. Against this background, the publication featuring Iron Man has generated speculation that the actor may play two roles simultaneously or reappear as Tony Stark in future projects, including "Secret Wars," which will begin filming in 2026.
Some fans support their guesses with insider leaks. According to them, Doctor Doom seeks to eliminate any interference in the timeline and multiverse, and this may lead to a kind of "rollback to the past."
So far, all this remains only theories. Marvel does not comment on the publication and does not plan to disclose the extended cast or additional roles, preferring to keep some of the information secret until the release.
