Anthony Mackie suggests Robert Downey Jr. wasn't in Doom suit on set

Anthony Mackie has hinted that Robert Downey Jr. was not the person wearing the Doctor Doom suit on the set of Avengers: Doomsday. In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, Mackie responded to a question about facing Downey on set by saying, "Well, no, because, like, it wasn't him." He added, "Robert don't fight! No! Hell no!" This has added to existing rumors that someone else is in the Doom costume, which come from shots of Doom with a different eye color than Downey's and the character's Latverian accent in trailers.

Mackie compared the movie production to "summer camp," where cast members catch up with each other and share life updates. He also mentioned spending time with Paul Bettany on set, leading some fans to wonder if Vision might appear in Doomsday. However, the sound stages for Doomsday and the VisionQuest series were located across from each other, so Mackie likely meant they were just working nearby.

Avengers: Doomsday is scheduled for release on December 16 in the UK and December 18 in the US.
