Josh D’Amaro, chairman of Disney Experiences and incoming CEO of Disney, said: “Our new ship continues Disney Cruise Line’s tradition of bringing great stories to life at sea, and we are honoured that Robert Downey Jr, who has guided audiences through unforgettable Marvel stories, is the official godparent for the Disney Adventure.”
Downey Jr’s portrayal of Tony Stark and Iron Man was central to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. His role as the character culminated in Avengers: Endgame in 2019, the same year he was named a Disney Legend. He is set to return to the Marvel franchise later this year as Doctor Doom in Avengers: Doomsday, which is scheduled for theatrical release on Dec 18.
