As Avengers: Doomsday has started filming, key notes about the film's characters and plots are already all over the internet. As an important detail about Robert Downey Jr in the film has been reported and is although unconfirmed, it does add a fresh layer of excitement to watch the actor get back to the MCU.
Downey is playing Doctor Doom, the man antagonist in the film who will be facing off against an ensemble of some of the MCU's biggest heroes. However, it's not the only role that he's playing, according to X-Men writer Chris Claremont. Downey will be playing not one, but three more characters in Avengers: Doomsday!
The writer made a surprising but happy revelation that fans may finally be getting Tony Stark back on screen again as he was present at the Huntsville Pop Culture Expo and revealed:
"Has anyone seen the commercial for the 50 superhero, 4 super villain — not X-Men movie, almost, sounds like it, you better believe it — the Marvel movie that’s in production now? I mean, we’ve got Robert Downey Jr. playing evil person, Iron Man — wait, that’s confusing — and then he’s playing two other roles."
Not just that! Claremont has also reported that Chris Evans will also be returning to the franchise and will also take on multiple roles.
"But then Chris Evans is playing Captain America, young Captain America, evil Captain America, Captain Hydra or something like that… Lord Hydra, whatever… It’s like, why didn’t they just cast the original Avengers as all the characters? Villains, you know, assistants, sidekicks."
Obviously, this information remains unchecked and there's every chance that the rumours may come across as fake. But for what it's worth, it does seem like a hopeful faith to carry that fans will be seeing Tony Stark and Steve Rogers back on screen.
More details revealed by Chris Claremont about Avengers: Doomsday
According to Claremont, Scarlet Witch, aka Wanda Maximoff will also be seen in Avengers: Doomsday, even though the actress has denied being a part of the film. The former revealed:
"Apparently, uh, after denying it viferously for at least a year — um, what’s-her-face is coming back as, uh, Widow — not the Widow — Scarlett… no, not Scarlett Johansson… um, what’s-her-face… you had the giant rockfall on Scarlet Witch — oh, Elizabeth! Scarlet Witch, right. I mean, so she’s coming back not only as Scarlet Witch but a good Scarlet Witch, you know? So I don’t know if that means that, uh, the Vision’s coming back. "

There is no confirmation yet on any of the writer's statements and as much as we'd like to believe in the return of three of the most important Marvel characters, nothing can be confirmed as of now.
