Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) fans have never forgotten Robert Downey Jr.’s legendary performance as Iron Man, but he certainly said goodbye properly. According to a new rumor, the famous actor will return to the Avengers movies as a completely different character. So, which character could Robert Downey Jr. return to the Avengers franchise?

Robert Downey Jr. could return as Doctor Doom in Avengers 5

Marvel has already shown how it can bring back dead characters with Endgame and Loki. This time, there is talk that Robert Downey Jr. could return as Doctor Doom, a variant of Tony Stark.

After the tragic death of Tony Stark in Endgame, Marvel fans are wondering how RDJ will return to the MCU, as the character was given his due when he was given his farewell. Robert Downey Jr. may not return as an Iron Man variant, but as Tony Stark, who in his own universe is Doctor Doom.

The Marvel Cinematic Universe can bring dead characters back to life with different variants, as in the Loki series. According to this theory, in the new Avengers movies, instead of the Tony Stark of the main universe, we could see a Tony Stark from a different reality who has become Doctor Doom. This variant could perhaps be an anti-hero fighting against the Avengers.
