Robert Downey Jr. stuns his Marvel co-stars with shocking live TV momemt

Robert Downey Jr. delivered a heartfelt message for his fellow Marvel stars.

The 60-year-old American actor's video was played on the Tuesday, June 17 episode of Good Morning America, in which he gave a warm welcome to Marvel stars Anthony Ramos and Dominique Thorne and called them part of the MCU family.

Robert, who played the role of Iron Man and will come back as Doctor Doom in Avengers: Doomsday, articulated his thoughts by saying, "Do you mind if we interrupt the interview for just a moment, because I think we have a very special message. I think you're going to recognize who this is," before the show showed a clip while Ramos and Thorne watched.

In the pre-recorded video, the Oscar-winning actor quipped, "Ms. Thorne, I couldn't be happier than to be seeing you bring Riri Williams to life.”

He went on to reflect on Ramos' forthcoming mysterious character, Hood, in the Black Panther offshoot. "But, the Hood has me nervous. Is the hood green? Please tell me Mr. Ramos is not replacing me as Dr. Doom via Parker Robbins. Is there something they're not telling me?"

Robert concluded his video message by making a heart with his fingers and stated, "Long story short, Iron Man loves Ironheart."

It is pertinent to mention that Avengers: Doomsday will hit theatres in the United States on December 18, 2026 while Black Panther 3 is expected to be released sometime in 2028.
