Robert Downey Jr. is the biggest Pedro Pascal fan
Pedro Pascal is pretty beloved these days, including by other celebs. The actor has been filming the forthcoming Marvel movie 'Avengers: Doomsday' in the UK, where his costar Robert Downey Jr. had some words of praise for Pascal in a new Vanity Fair profile. But ever humble, Pascal told the publication that he knows not everyone is thrilled about his entry into the Marvel universe. 'I'm more aware of disgruntlement around my casting than anything I've ever done,' he said. ''He's too old. He's not right. He needs to shave.'' He's been taking cues from Downey. 'He's just so immediately generous and inviting that you feel like you can be afraid, you can be hungry, you can be ambivalent,' Pascal said. The admiration is mutual. 'Pascal's slow trajectory to becoming a household name who is on a wildly hot streak kind of reaffirms my faith in our industry,' Downey said. There are few details have been shared publicly about their upcoming 'Avengers' assembly. Downey is playing Victor Von Doom and Pascal is playing Reed Reynolds. Downey has previously played Tony Stark/Iron Man in the Marvel movies.

'Avengers: Doomsday' set video LEAKS online after Russo Brothers announce filming with Robert Downey Jr's Victor Von Doom
A leaked video from the set of Avengers: Doomsday has taken the internet by storm, just days after the Russo Brothers confirmed that filming is officially underway — with Robert Downey Jr. returning in the powerful new role of Victor Von Doom . The brief video clip, which surfaced on social media late Monday night, shows a mystery actor dressed in a grey suit, carrying a briefcase, walking toward a suburban-style house. The actor opens the door, enters, and closes it behind him. While the scene appears simple, the lack of a clear view of the actor's face has ignited a frenzy of speculation among fans. Many believe the figure could be Robert Downey Jr., shooting his much-anticipated scenes as the iconic supervillain Doctor Doom . However, others suggest the actor may be someone else entirely, potentially teasing a surprise casting. Fueling further speculation, one tweet floated the theory that actor Julian McMahon — who previously portrayed Doctor Doom in the Fantastic Four films — could be making a return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe as a variant of the character. According to this theory, McMahon's version may not be a villain, making room for Downey Jr. to embody the darker, central version of Doctor Doom. On Instagram, the Russo Brothers, who will direct the MCU's next two Avengers movies, shared the first set photo to announce that filming has finally started. While the picture doesn't reveal details from the film, it shows a chair with the name Victor Von Doom. Avengers: Doomsday is slated for a May 1, 2026 release. The film will likely be set after the events of 'The Fantastic Four: First Steps' which is slated to hit theatres on 25 June 2025.
