Robert Downey Jr. may be coming to the MCU sooner than fans thought! A new rumor suggests Doctor Doom may make a cameo in Spider-Man 4.
Ever since it was announced that Robert Downey Jr. would be making his grand return to the MCU as Doctor Doom, fans have been wondering when he’ll reunite with Tom Holland’s Spider-Man on the big screen. While the rumor mill has been rather sparse given how little information is available about both Spider-Man 4 and Avengers: Doomsday, it seems some information has begun to trickle out.
A new rumor from scooper MyTimeToShineHello suggests that Spider-Man 4 will feature a appearance from Robert Downey Jr. as Doctor Doom. While the details of his cameo haven’t been divulged, it’s more likely than not meant to bridge the gap between Tom Holland’s role in Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars.
Spider-Man 4’s Hidden Multiverse Ties
Despite early reports that Spider-Man 4 would be focused on street level adventures for the hero, it seems more and more likely that the project will have a multiverse bent. The idea of Robert Downey Jr. making a cameo as Doctor Doom aligns with another rumor suggesting that Tom Holland’s Webhead will collide with another prominent universe in his sequel, bringing a fan-favorite storyline to life on the silver screen.
Another rumor suggests that Spider-Man 4 will film between Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars. This would explain why Robert Downey Jr. would play a role as Doctor Doom, as that would mean the project would likely take place on Battleworld. At the very least, even if he isn’t a large factor, he’ll be around enough to warrant an inclusion.
