Robert Downey Jr stunned fans as the Iron Man star removed a mask during the San Diego Comic-Con Hall H panel to reveal that he will play Doctor Doom, one of Marvel’s biggest villains, in the upcoming film Avengers: Doomsday.

The panel on Saturday was flooded with hooded figures wearing masks of the comic book villain known for his sorcery and science when Downey Jr revealed his face. “I like playing complicated characters,” he said as fans began to chant his name.

Supposedly they're using a comic that has stark and doom switch bodies. Doom went on to use Starks fortune, and Stark lost his memory, believing himself to actually be Victor, and ends up turning Dooms country into one of the best on the planet.

Not sure how that's going to work with Stark being dead though.

Well we do have an established multiverse, so they will probably explain everything with and opening that features "Earth - XXXX".

Yeah I forgot about that. I'm not a fan of multiverse stuff.
