The internet went indiscriminately crazy when Robert Downey Jr. walked out on the San Diego Comic-Con Hall H stage. It was announced that he would be returning to the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Doctor Doom in an unknown number of upcoming Marvel movies. Then it was announced that RDJ would actually be playing Iron Man again. This is huge news, but honestly, we feel like nobody noticed.
Granted, he won’t (as far as we know) be playing Iron Man on the big screen again, but our very own Dirk Libbey was sitting in the audience at the Disney Experiences Showcase at D23 on Saturday night when we were surprised to learn that Avengers Campus at Disney California Adventure would get not just the one new attraction we were expecting, but two, and that the second new attraction would include Robert Downey Jr. returning as Tony Stark. The man has even tested the ride with Disney CEO Bob Iger.
