Tom Hiddleston’s Hilarious Reaction to Robert Downey Jr.’s MCU Return Will Make You Laugh!

It seems logical that Robert Downey Jr.’s portrayal of Doctor Doom in the upcoming Marvel films is being kept under tight wraps. Surprisingly, it appears that even cast members from the movie Avengers: Doomsday were not informed about this secret. Recently, Tom Hiddleston, reprising his role as Loki, admitted he was in the dark and learned the big news just like everyone else. His reaction when he found out was both amusing and understandable, a feeling I think we all could identify with if we were in his shoes.

Tom Hiddleston recently discussed his upcoming movie, “The Life of Chuck,” and his ongoing involvement in the Marvel Cinematic Universe during an interview with Josh Horowitz on the “Happy, Sad, Confused” podcast. As one of the original Avengers cast members still active within the franchise, Hiddleston’s return to the series has been highly anticipated. During the conversation, Horowitz inquired about Tom’s reaction when he learned that Robert Downey Jr., another key figure in the MCU, would be rejoining the team. Reportedly, Hiddleston was surprised and even texted a prominent figure about this exciting news.

It’s astonishingly amazing! I had no idea about it until everyone else did. That was the key point. I believe it was kept secret until it wasn’t. … I texted Kevin Feige with lots of exclamation points and then thought, ‘I should clarify that.’ I wrote, “RDJ?!” (meaning Robert Downey Jr.)

If I had Kevin Feige’s contact, I wouldn’t hesitate to reach out to him following that major announcement. What tickles me is that Hiddleston wasn’t particularly slick in his approach towards the Marvel Studios President. However, what truly delights me is Hiddleston’s unwavering passion for this franchise, just like any other fan, he continues to be thrilled about it.

It appears Tom Hiddleston doesn’t seem to know the details of Robert Downey Jr.’s role as a super villain in the film, as Marvel is known for keeping secrets during production. Perhaps Hiddleston himself isn’t aware of Doom’s precise part in the movie yet. I can only hope that Loki and Doom will interact at some point, as their dialogue could result in an unforgettable scene together.

Last year at San Diego Comic-Con’s Hall H, Robert Downey Jr.’s announcement of his return was nothing short of spectacular and left many fans in a state of shock. What made this even more intriguing was that the cast seemed to be just as surprised as we were. Although some fans have had varying opinions about Downey playing Doom, Tom Hiddleston wholeheartedly supports it. In fact, he shared his enthusiasm with Josh Horowitz during a recent conversation.

Robert is essentially identified with the Marvel Cinematic Universe. He stands as its core figure. It seems exhilarating to return and experiment with new shades, don’t you agree?

Discussions and speculations surrounding “Avengers: Doomsday” are certainly intriguing, but the real question remains unanswered: How will Marvel Studios tackle the obvious elephant in the room? This refers to Robert Downey Jr.’s shift from portraying Tony Stark, who perished in “Avengers: Endgame”, to now playing Doctor Doom, a longtime Fantastic Four antagonist.

It’s possible that the Russo Brothers, who are directing “Avengers: Doomsday” and “Secret Wars”, may confirm that this version of Doom is a variant created by Tony Stark. However, it’s also possible they won’t mention any similarity between the two characters at all. If only I had Kevin Feige’s number like Tom Hiddleston does, I’d be reaching out to him, trying to get as much information as I could!

Look forward to watching Tom Hiddleston and Robert Downey Jr. reappear in the MCU for the movie Avengers: Doomsday, slated for release on December 18, 2026. Until then, catch up on their roles as Loki and Tony Stark by streaming past Marvel films and series, conveniently accessible with a Disney+ membership.
