Doom is coming for the MCU. Kevin Feige dropped the news that the Russo Bros. are returning to the Marvel fold to direct Avengers 5 and 6 at the end of a relatively calm Marvel Studios panel at San Diego Comic-Con Saturday. This announcement wasn’t shocking given the previous week’s news that the duo was in talks to direct the films and have a hand in Marvel Studios from now on.

What was surprising is that the film formerly titled Avengers: The Kang Dynasty, has been reworked and retitled Avengers: Doomsday, leaving no question that Marvel’s greatest villain, the man who inspired Darth Vader himself, Doctor Doom, will finally make his long-anticipated debut in the MCU. Before fans could even process that news, the Russo Bros. came back with an even bigger announcement. And the reaction from fans was…well, let’s call it mixed. Robert Downey Jr. is making his return to the MCU in Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars, but not as Tony Stark. This time he’ll be putting on a different suit of armor as Doctor Doom.
