With Robert Downey Jr. proclaiming "New mask, same task" when he was revealed as the MCU's Doctor Doom, and Anthony Mackie stating that he is "continuing" his legacy, this feeds into the notion that Doctor Doom will be directly tied to the MCU's Iron Man.

According to a new report, Marvel Studios is mulling over whether to keep Robert Downey Jr. as the MCU's Doctor Doom after Avengers: Secret Wars. We also have updates on Ghost Rider and the Blade movie.

Anthony and Joe Russo are slated to helm the project after a few previous director switch-ups. The movie will mark their big return to the MCU after previously directing Captain America: The Winter Soldier (2014), Captain America: Civil War (2016), Avengers: Infinity War (2018), and Avengers: Endgame (2019).
