<p><a href="https://spoiler.bolavip.com/en/topic/marvel">Marvel</a> is undeniably at a pivotal moment. As the studio puts the finishing touches on <strong>Phase Five</strong> and prepares for <strong>Phase Six</strong>, producers are under intense scrutiny from fans who have faced more disappointments than delights with its recent commercially driven releases.</p>



<p>A key event for revealing the company’s future plans was the San Diego Comic-Con, where Marvel was, as always, the main attraction. The panel had everything from <a href="https://spoiler.bolavip.com/en/movies/marvels-upcoming-movies-all-the-announcements-from-san-diego-comic-con">upcoming projects</a> to dating rumors between <a href="https://spoiler.bolavip.com/en/celebrities/are-fantastic-four-co-stars-pedro-pascal-and-vanessa-kirby-dating-rumors-explained">Pedro Pascal and Vanessa Kirby</a>. </p>



<p>But the real highlight was <a href="https://spoiler.bolavip.com/en/topic/robert-downey-jr">Robert Downey Jr.</a>’s announcement. He made a memorable entrance to reveal that he would not be returning as Iron Man but would instead<strong> take on the role of the villain</strong> <a href="https://spoiler.bolavip.com/en/movies/robert-downey-jr-to-play-doctor-doom-is-the-character-a-variant-of-iron-man">Doctor Doom</a> in the upcoming “Avengers” films. Unsurprisingly, <strong>Jonathan Majors</strong>, who was controversially replaced, had some thoughts on the matter.</p>



<h2>Jonathan Majors reflected on being kicked out of the MCU</h2>



<p>Robert Downey Jr.’s return to the world’s most famous superhero franchise has certainly made waves, and Jonathan Majors is no exception to this reaction. The actor, who was initially set to be the next lead antagonist films, <strong>was replaced due to his abuse allegations.</strong></p>


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="SPEN#/celebrities/jonathan-majors-has-been-sentenced-for-probation-in-domestic-assault-case"></div>


<p>In a brief conversation with TMZ, Majors shared his heartbreak over the decision. He clarified that his disappointment was not due to any personal issues with Downey Jr., <strong>but rather the opportunity he lost.</strong> While the star expressed his love for <strong>Kang</strong>, the character he previously portrayed, he acknowledged that <em>“Doctor Doom is dope”</em>.</p>



<p>When asked about Downey Jr.’s return despite his own legal troubles, Majors commented that he saw nothing wrong with it, <strong>though he felt regret that he didn’t receive a similar chance:</strong></p>



<p><em>“I think it’s fair that Mr. Downey is being received with patience, curiosity, and love … and [he’s] being allowed to work [his] art and be creative at that level,” </em>Majors stated.<em> <strong>“I didn’t really get that.”</strong></em></p>



<p>Finally, when questioned about the possibility of returning to the MCU, Majors expressed that <strong>he would be thrilled to do so if it’s what the fans desired.</strong> Only time will tell if the entertainment company and its audience will offer him a second chance.</p>

<p>While <a href="https://spoiler.bolavip.com/en/topic/marvel">Marvel</a> is known for its unexpected twists and turns, <a href="https://spoiler.bolavip.com/en/topic/robert-downey-jr">Robert Downey Jr.</a>’s casting as <strong>Doctor Doom</strong> in the upcoming <strong>“Avengers”</strong> films was certainly not on our 2024 bingo card. Now that it’s official, all that’s left is to enjoy the news!</p>



<p>The announcement comes as a surprise, but it’s clear that Marvel needed a major boost<strong> after removing Jonathan Majors from the MCU</strong> following abuse allegations. Although there were initial rumors that <a href="https://spoiler.bolavip.com/en/topic/benedict-cumberbatch">Benedict Cumberbatch</a>’s Doctor Strange was going to take the lead in <strong>“Avengers 5,”</strong> it’s now Downey Jr. who will be stepping into the role of the antagonist in both <strong>“Avengers: Doomsday”</strong> and <strong>“Avengers: Secret Wars.”</strong></p>



<p>Once again, he has become a top internet trend. The buzz not only revolves around his wealth in 2024 but also on<strong> how much he will be paid to star as the villain</strong> in Marvel’s most significant upcoming projects.</p>



<h2>What will Robert Downey Jr. be paid for his Doctor Doom role in the next Avengers films?</h2>



<p>The <strong>“Oppenheimer”</strong> actor has been a constant subject of discussions and even controversy due to <strong>the substantial salaries</strong> he has received over the years as a prominent name in the MCU. Whenever there are talks about the fortunes of his co-stars, Robert Downey Jr.’s name <strong>invariably comes up for comparison.</strong></p>

<p>And it’s no wonder why. According to Celebrity Net Worth, Robert Downey Jr. was paid <strong>$500,000</strong> for the first <strong>“Iron Man,”</strong> earned <strong>$10 million</strong> for <strong>“Iron Man 2,”</strong> and, with backend points, accumulated <strong>$70 million</strong> for <strong>“Iron Man 3.”</strong> Additionally, Screen Rant reports that he earned the same amount for each of the four “Avengers” films.</p>



<p>Given that Robert Downey Jr. has a good percentage of the production’s profits or box office earnings, and considering <strong>“Avengers: Endgame”</strong> grossed <strong>$2.799 billion</strong>, we can expect him to take home at least <strong>$80 million</strong> for each of the upcoming installments.</p>



<p>But what is his initial payment? Variety revealed that <strong>Jonathan Majors</strong> was set to be paid <strong>$20 million</strong> for starring as the main antagonist in these movies, so it is quite probable that this is the base for Robert Downey Jr.’s salary. Plus, this is exactly the amount that his co-stars earn <strong>without being involved with backend points</strong>, so the math adds up.</p>

<p>After a long time without knowing anything about <strong><a href="https://spoiler.bolavip.com/en/topic/robert-downey-jr">Robert Downey Jr.</a></strong>‘s future in the MCU, it is finally known what will happen in the next phase. The actor has confirmed that he will return, but not as Iron Man, instead as <strong>Doctor Doom</strong>.</p>



<p>The revelation took place at an event organized by the <a href="https://spoiler.bolavip.com/en/topic/marvel">Marvel</a> panel during the San Diego Comic-Con . Hundreds of fans were present, and after a mysterious entrance, he appeared in a green outfit, saying: “<em>New mask, same task</em>“.</p>



<p>As expected, fans quickly reacted and the crowd erupted in cheers. The excitement was truly palpable, but so were the questions about the character. Check here to see if Victor Von Doom is a variant of Tony Stark…</p>



<h2>Is Doctor Doom the evil variant of Tony Stark?</h2>



<p>No! <strong>Doctor Doom and Tony Stark are distinct characters</strong> with very different origins and trajectories. However, in some alternative versions and parallel universes within the multiverse, there are interesting variants.</p>



<p>There is a version known as “<strong>Iron Doom</strong>“, which is a combination of Tony Stark and Victor Von Doom. In this variant, Doom obtains the Iron Man armor and combines his intellect and abilities with the power of Stark technology.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/spen/full/SPEN_20240728_SPEN_34165_Doctor-Doom-1-1024x576_1755bc6f.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="" class="wp-image-34178" srcset="https://spoiler-en.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/29/2024/07/Doctor-Doom-1-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://spoiler-en.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/29/2024/07/Doctor-Doom-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https://spoiler-en.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/29/2024/07/Doctor-Doom-1-768x432.jpg 768w, https://spoiler-en.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/29/2024/07/Doctor-Doom-1-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://spoiler-en.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/29/2024/07/Doctor-Doom-1.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Doctor Doom. (Source: @DiscussingFilm)</figcaption></figure>



<p>In the comic series “Infamous Iron Man”, which ran from 2016 to 2018 and is part of the main universe, the <strong>Doctor becomes Iron Man after the events that lead Tony Stark to retire</strong>.</p>



<p>In this series, he assumes the mantle of Iron Man with the intention of redeeming himself and proving he can be a hero. Although he is not a variant of Stark, it does show how Victor becomes a heroic figure similar to the Avengers icon.</p>



<h2>Why was Robert Downey Jr. cast as Doctor Doom?</h2>



<p>Before Robert Downey Jr. was chosen to play Iron Man, the Marvel Studios production team <strong>considered him for the role of Doctor Doom in the 2005 Fantastic Four <a href="https://spoiler.bolavip.com/en/movies">movie</a></strong> (which ended up being a great success).</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/spen/full/SPEN_20240728_SPEN_34165_Doctor-Doom-1024x576_c4bb9b16.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="" class="wp-image-34168" srcset="https://spoiler-en.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/29/2024/07/Doctor-Doom-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://spoiler-en.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/29/2024/07/Doctor-Doom-300x169.jpg 300w, https://spoiler-en.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/29/2024/07/Doctor-Doom-768x432.jpg 768w, https://spoiler-en.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/29/2024/07/Doctor-Doom-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://spoiler-en.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/29/2024/07/Doctor-Doom.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Robert Downey Jr. at San Diego Comic Con 2024 at the unveiling of his new character, Doctor Doom.

<p>The Direct reported that this prior consideration has made fans even more eager to see his performance in <strong>Avengers: Doomsday</strong> (to be released on May 2026), especially given the MCU’s multiverse concepts. </p>



<p>The revelation of the star as Victor Von Doom, which took place at Marvel’s panel at the 2024 San Diego Comic-Con, has become one of the 15 most-viewed videos on Instagram, with 212 million views.</p>

<p>Now that <strong><a href="https://spoiler.bolavip.com/en/topic/robert-downey-jr">Robert Downey Jr.</a></strong>‘s return to the MCU has been announced at San Diego Comic-Con 2024, many have been wondering if there is a possibility of seeing Tony Stark as Iron Man again.</p>



<p>During the <strong><a href="https://spoiler.bolavip.com/en/topic/marvel">Marvel</a></strong> panel event, the actor himself revealed that he has been cast to play <strong>Doctor Doom</strong>, one of the most powerful villains, who made his first appearance in <em>Fantastic Four #5</em> in 1962.</p>



<p>This is why many believed that at some point, a <a href="https://spoiler.bolavip.com/en/movies/will-the-new-fantastic-4-and-robert-downey-jr-s-doom-have-a-crossover">crossover</a> between the Avengers’ new nemesis and the cast of “<strong>Fantastic Four: First Steps</strong>“, led by <strong><a href="https://spoiler.bolavip.com/en/topic/pedro-pascal">Pedro Pascal</a></strong> as Reed Richards, could take place.</p>



<h2>Could Tony Stark have a cameo in the next Avengers?</h2>



<p>Well, <strong>it is believed that Tony Stark will not appear in the upcoming Avengers movies</strong>. Remember that Iron Man sacrificed himself to defeat Thanos, which marked a significant and conclusive end to his arc in the MCU.</p>



<p>Marvel Studios has not announced any plans for <strong>Robert Downey Jr.</strong> to reprise his role, and there has been no official confirmation of his return to this specific role. Now that he will be Doom, the hopes of him returning as the hero are low.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/spen/full/SPEN_20240728_SPEN_34149_Tony-Stark-1024x576_bcb6a6ca.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="" class="wp-image-34155" srcset="https://spoiler-en.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/29/2024/07/Tony-Stark-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://spoiler-en.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/29/2024/07/Tony-Stark-300x169.jpg 300w, https://spoiler-en.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/29/2024/07/Tony-Stark-768x432.jpg 768w, https://spoiler-en.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/29/2024/07/Tony-Stark-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://spoiler-en.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/29/2024/07/Tony-Stark.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark in Iron Man.

<p>However, the Marvel Cinematic Universe is known for its surprises and multiversal storylines, so there is always the possibility of a possible cameo in some form. So, let’s not be discouraged.</p>



<p>After the end of “<strong>Avengers: Endgame</strong>“, the charisma, wit and evolution of the character throughout the films made him a favorite among fans, and many want to see one last interaction with the young Peter Parker.</p>

<p>When <strong>A24</strong> announced in April 2021 that they were producing an adaptation of <strong>Viet Thanh Nguyen’s</strong> novel <strong>“The Sympathizer”</strong> with <strong>Park Chan-wook</strong> directing, his fans eagerly awaited its release. After less than a week in <a href="https://spoiler.bolavip.com/en/max">Max’s</a> catalog, the <a href="https://spoiler.bolavip.com/en/topic/drama">drama</a> production quickly rose <strong>to the #3 spot worldwide</strong>, according to FlixPatrol statistics.</p>



<p>It’s a <strong>limited mini-series</strong>, and what’s even more impressive about its ranking achievement is that it only has one episode available for viewing. Nguyen’s story is so powerful that it has already managed to captivate the platform’s viewers with just its beginning.</p>



<p>The plot revolves around the struggles of a half-French, half-Vietnamese communist spy during the <strong>Vietnam War</strong>, and his following life as a refugee in Los Angeles. There, he spies on the South Vietnamese community in which he is inserted, torn between his heritage and his duty.</p>



<h2>Robert Downey Jr. ‘The Sympathizer’ became the #3 most-watched series on Max</h2>



<p>The fact that <strong>“The Sympathizer”</strong> ranks as the third most-watched <a href="https://spoiler.bolavip.com/en/topic/series">series</a> on Max can be credited to the renown of the novel’s author and its director. Nevertheless, <strong>Robert Downey Jr.’s </strong>involvement in the project also significantly contributes to its success.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<div class="ck-youtube"><iframe loading="lazy" title="The Sympathizer | Official Trailer | Max" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/47dRkhiERpE?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div>
</div></figure>



<p>Since the <strong>“Iron Man”</strong> actor decided to focus his career on complex roles, the film industry’s reception seems to support him more than ever. Undoubtedly, the Oscar he won for his portrayal of Levi Strauss in <strong>“Oppenheimer”</strong> made him even more beloved than he already was.</p>



<p>In Park Chan-wook series, Robert portrays perhaps the most complex role of his career. He plays <strong>four different characters</strong>: one a CIA agent, an amateur film director based on <strong>Francis Ford Coppola</strong>, a grad school professor, and a Congressman.</p>



<p>While his acting is noteworthy, he never overshadows the rest of the cast, which includes outstanding performances from <strong>Hoa Xuande</strong>, <strong>Toan Le</strong>, <strong>Fred Nguyen Khan</strong>, and <strong>Sandra Oh</strong>, among others.</p>



<h2>Is ‘The Sympathizer’ based on a true story?</h2>



<p>Viet Thanh Nguyen’s narrative is so raw that many wondered if the story of “The Sympathizer” was based on real events. According to Esquire, the author’s inspiration was a man named<strong> Pham Xuan An</strong>, a North Vietnamese spy who wrote in the most prominent media outlets in the United States, without his coworkers knowing his true identity.</p>



<p>At the same time, the mini-series <strong>possesses a contradiction</strong> because it attempts to shed light on all the identities that were hidden during the Vietnam War. It is based on the real lives of people who kept their existences secret.</p>



<p>In summary, the novel draws loose inspiration from the life of Pham Xuan An and the spies of the Vietnam conflict to create an alternate narrative. This can be seen in the main character, <strong>The Captain</strong>, whose nickname disguises all those split identities.</p>



<h2>‘The Sympathizer’ Episodes and release schedule</h2>



<p>As mentioned earlier, <strong>“The Sympathizer”</strong> has only one episode released on Max so far. The mini-series will consist of<strong> seven episodes</strong>, planned to premiere every Sunday until the end of May. Below is the full schedule.</p>



<p>Episode 2 – April 21</p>



<p>Episode 3 – April 28</p>



<p>Episode 4 – May 5</p>



<p>Episode 5 – May 12</p>



<p>Episode 6 – May 19</p>



<p>Episode 7 – May 26</p>
