Don Cheadle Reacts to Robert Downey Jr.'s MCU Return
In a recent interview, Cheadle was asked about his thoughts when he learned the news that Downey is returning to the MCU as Doctor Doom.
As most fans know, he and Downey have shared a lot of scenes throughout their tenure in the MCU as their characters James Rhodes and Tony Stark are best friends.
"I was like, 'What the f*ck?' They're rewriting, they're reworking, and so I honestly can't even tease anything," the actor said.
When his potential involvement in Avengers: Secret Wars was brought up, Cheadle decided to play coy in his response due to the secrecy nature.
"I'm not sure what you're talking about," he joked before adding, "I’ve heard of a Russo Brother. There are two? You know I can't talk about that stuff."
Just like all fans, Cheadle was also surprised when he heard the news and there is now a possibility that he will be sharing scenes with Downey again. This time around, they won't be on the same side.
The details regarding Marvel's plans for the upcoming Avengers movies aside from Downey's return are still unknown, but a lot of fans are intrigued to find out what they have in store and which of the Avengers will be facing Doctor Doom.
Hopefully, Cheadle's War Machine will be one of the heroes that are going to be in action given his major connection to Tony Stark and the potential emotional stakes of his encounter with Downey's new character.
