🚨LATEST NEWS: Iron Man Robert Downey Jr. Abandons New Marvel Movie Project (AVENGERS: Doomsday) to Leave the US After Failure to Support BLUE WAVE: “Bye, I’m Out”
In a shocking twist that has left fans reeling, Hollywood icon Robert Downey Jr. has reportedly walked away from the upcoming Marvel blockbuster AVENGERS: Doomsday and announced his plans to leave the United States. The decision comes in the wake of the 2024 presidential election, which saw a decisive Republican victory, commonly referred to as the “Big Red Wave,” and a failure of the anticipated “Blue Wave” progressive surge. Downey Jr., long known for his outspoken political views, declared his discontent with the country’s direction, saying, “Bye, I’m out.”
The news has sent shockwaves through Hollywood and the Marvel fandom, as Downey Jr. had been rumored to reprise his iconic role as Tony Stark/Iron Man in a limited capacity for the highly anticipated AVENGERS: Doomsday. While the exact nature of his role in the film had been kept under wraps, many believed it would involve a pivotal appearance as a mentor or in a multiverse storyline. Now, his abrupt departure has thrown the project into uncertainty, with fans wondering how Marvel Studios will move forward without one of its founding stars.
Robert Downey Jr. has been vocal about his progressive beliefs in recent years, using his platform to advocate for causes such as climate action, social justice, and voting rights. He was an ardent supporter of Democratic candidates in the 2024 election, urging his fans to back the “Blue Wave” movement to combat what he described as regressive policies. The election results, which handed Donald Trump another term in the White House and solidified Republican control of Congress, left the actor deeply frustrated.
