The villain of the fifth Avengers movie will be Doctor Doom, played by Robert Downey Jr., the actor who portrayed the legendary Iron Man in the MCU’s Infinity Saga and is now taking on the role of antagonist. Avengers: Doomsday will be directed by brothers Anthony and Joe Russo (Endgame), from a script by Michael Waldron (Loki) and Stephen McFreely (Endgame).
