Robert Downey Jr. – OMG Check It Out ! https://omgcheckitout.com Mon, 29 Jul 2024 09:03:16 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.8.3 Robert Downey Jr. Cast as Dr. Doom in Two New “Avengers” Movies https://omgcheckitout.com/robert-downey-jr-cast-as-dr-doom-in-two-new-avengers-movies/ Mon, 29 Jul 2024 06:54:00 +0000 https://omgcheckitout.com/?p=42264 The Marvel Cinematic Universe hasn’t been the same since Robert Downey Jr. left, but this franchise is going back to its roots. After giving a performance of a lifetime as Iron Man, Downey will return to the MCU as Doctor Doom, the villain of the two new Avengers movies.

Marvel’s presentation at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con has given us many amazing moments, but none of them compared to the Doctor Doom casting announcement. The Russo brothers built the hype by saying that this iconic villain would be played by “the greatest actor in the world” before a masked man in green stepped on stage.

The audience lost their minds when the mystery man took his mask off to reveal he was none other than Robert Downey Jr., the actor responsible for bringing Tony Stark/Iron Man to life. The Russos have described his casting as “proof of the unimaginable possibilities of the Marvel Universe.”

They’ll return to direct the next two Marvel movies – Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars, set to be released in 2026 and 2027. Downey will appear in both, but it remains unclear if we’ll also get to see him in The Fantastic Four: First Steps, even though Doctor Doom is one of the main antagonists of this franchise.

Warner Bros. has announced that the threequel starring Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law has been moved back a whole year. The originally set to hit theaters Christmas Day 2020 feature now has a December 21, 2021 release date.

According to Variety, the now vacant slot is going to an untitled WB event film. 

Sherlock Holmes 3 follows 2011’s Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows. The franchise debuted with Sherlock Holmes in 2009. The two films, which had a production budget of $215 million, hauled a combined $1 billion at the global box office, which has proved the franchise to be hugely popular.

Downey and Law are set to reprise their roles as the titular detective and his sidekick, Dr. Watson, respectively. Chris Brancato penned the script. Susan Downey, Joel Silver and Lionel Wigram are producing. No director has been attached to the project. 

]]> Marvel Breaks the Internet With its “Avengers: Endgame” Teaser https://omgcheckitout.com/marvel-avengers-endgame-teaser/ Mon, 10 Dec 2018 07:20:40 +0000 https://omgcheckitout.com/?p=28028 Marvel movies don’t even need trailers since we’d all show up to see them anyway, but fans are grateful for the tiniest hints of things to come. That’s exactly what they’ve got in the first teaser for Avengers: Endgame.

There’s been a lot of mystery surrounding the most anticipated film of 2019, and we finally got to learn its title, but not much more. The first trailer is as cryptic as they get and, in all honesty, we don’t mind it one bit. Judging by the tagline “part of the journey is the end” it’s going to be an emotional roller-coaster we’ve been waiting for

It opens with an emotional shot of Tony Stark, drifting in space on the brink of his death. It also features several sequences of Captain America and Black Widow trying to pick up the pieces of Thanos’ destruction and Ant-Man providing some much needed comic relief at the very end.

Avengers: Endgame trailer broke the record for the most views within a 24-hour period, previously held by its predecessor Avengers: Infinity War. 289 million internet users tuned in to watch this teaser and we can’t even imagine how many will show up when it finally premieres on 24 April 2019.
