Robert Downey Jr. will soon be returning to the MCU in Avengers: Doomsday as a new character. Now the actor has revealed what was behind the decision to join as Victor Von Doom, and it seems like he has some big ambitions.

Speaking on the Avengers: Endgame special of the Countdown to Avengers: Doomsday Official Podcast, Downey Jr. was asked about his return by Ms. Marvel star Iman Vellani.

"What brought me back was the opportunity to redefine the genre of superhero movies so that's a tall order," he replied. "You know Mr. Feige, you know the group, we love a challenge and we figured, 'Wow let's mix it up and see if we can get ourselves excited, because if we're excited the audience will soon follow.'"

Despite the success of Spider-Man: Brand New Day, the star is right that the superhero fatigue has been setting in with audiences. A whole streak of MCU movies failed to perform well with audiences and underperformed at the box office in the lead up to the release of Doomsday.

Doomsday has already been tracking well in pre-sales, breaking records before it's even hit theaters. Hopes are high then that this might be a turning point for the MCU, as Feige has already announced a change of strategy with the release of fewer projects between its release and the upcoming Avengers: Secret Wars.

Downey Jr. will be playing iconic villain Doctor Doom in the new film, who will be the toughest adversary yet for the Avengers. Some new teases for the film are also part of the rerelease of Avengers: Endgame, which is in theaters around the world now.

Warhammer 40k: Rogue Trader's three-year run of expansions is drawing to a close this December with Processional of the Damned. Like the previous DLCs, Processional will introduce a new storyline and companion, both integrated into the existing story rather than coming after the end of the campaign. And your new buddy, well, she sounds pretty extra. A bit risky, maybe?

Here are some red flags:

• Cries tears of blood
• Unstable powers
• Might be heretical
• "She will never truly be free from peril and madness"
• A living weapon

But I guess when you're already travelling with a psychotic alien who tried to kill you, another unsanctioned psyker who's been known to lose control of her powers, a blood-obsessed assassin and Judge Dredd, Stella might actually fit in perfectly.

Along with Stella, Processional will introduce the new Zealot archetype, letting you forge a character who loves to bludgeon enemies to death. Owlcat has also teased a new feature, "madness", which will affect all your companions—probably not in a good way—as well as new enemies and gear.

After a rough start, Rogue Trader has grown into the best of Owlcat's dense CRPGs, and another one is on the way. Warhammer 40k: Dark Heresy doesn't have a release date yet, but it's "coming soon". Beyond CRPGs, we've also got The Expanse: Osiris Reborn to look forward to—it's very different from Owlcat's previous RPGs, but it might have the juice.
