Tom Holland Reveals Shocking Secret: He Knew Robert Downey Jr. Would Return as Doctor Doom – and Didn’t Spoil It

As a long-time MCU fan and someone who has closely followed Tom Holland’s journey as Spider-Man, I must say that his ability to keep such a monumental secret is nothing short of astonishing! After all, we all know about his notorious reputation for accidentally leaking spoilers. The fact that he managed to sit on this information for so long speaks volumes about his maturity and dedication to the Marvel universe.


This year at San Diego Comic-Con, attendees were startled to learn that Jonathan Majors’ Kang the Conqueror is no longer the main villain in the Multiverse Saga. Instead, it was Doctor Doom who emerged as the primary antagonist, with Robert Downey Jr. stepping into the role.

Despite many assuming that Victor von Doom, known for his connections with the Fantastic Four, might make his appearance – nobody foresaw Downey donning the infamous villain’s boots instead.

MCU actors such as Brie Larson and Sebastian Stan were just as surprised as fans when they learned about the news, expressing awe over how effectively the secret had been kept under wraps.

On the other hand, a notable Marvel Cinematic Universe actor has lately disclosed his challenge in preserving secrecy for an extended period: Tom Holland, famous for grappling with the complexities of guarding Marvel’s storyline secrets.

During his latest interview on The Rich Roll Podcast, Holland revealed that he learned about Robert Downey Jr.’s comeback as Doctor Doom mainly through various conversations he had with the actor himself.

I’ve had numerous conversations with Downey, mostly concerning his comeback, and it’s incredibly thrilling. It was challenging to keep that secret because I have a knack for revealing things prematurely.

It’s quite astonishing how Holland managed to conceal his information for such an extended period. His disclosure hints at the possibility that Spider-Man could be central to Doctor Doom’s narrative, contrary to our initial assumptions.

It seems unusual that Holland was told about Downey’s comeback since Spider-Man didn’t seem to play a significant role in the situation. Given his past record of accidentally revealing spoilers, it makes one wonder why they would confide such information in him at all.

Fans in the comments are just as astonished to learn that Holland had this knowledge:

Surprised the MCU didn’t write a whole subplot about Tom accidentally spoiling it

If he managed to keep the secret about Doom, I believe it’s worthy of recognition, particularly considering his notorious standing.
