Tom Holland Shares How Robert Downey Jr. Revealed His Avengers: Doomsday Casting To Him!

#RobertDowneyJr is set to return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Doctor Doom, six years after his character Tony Stark aka Iron Man, died in Avengers: Endgame. When it comes to Robert Downey Jr. and Tom Holland, the bond runs deeper than the Marvel universe. Long after the cameras stopped rolling on their shared MCU chapter, the two actors have maintained a genuine friendship, the kind that involves regular catch-ups and personal calls, not just red-carpet reunions.

So when one of the biggest secrets in Hollywood was finally ready to be shared, it makes sense that RDJ called his Spider-Man first. In a recent interview ahead of Spider-Man: Brand New Day, Tom Holland that Robert Downey Jr. called him and shared the news of his MCU return. “I think I hung up and said to Zendaya, ‘Downey’s back,’” Holland shared. “Yes, he just called me. In fact, I caught up with him on the phone a couple of days ago. We usually catch up from time to time. He got in touch and just told me. And it’s very exciting.”

Marvel Studios’ Avengers: Doomsday arrives in cinemas on 18th December in India.
