Mads or bust. Keep in mind this will largely be a voice-acted role, Mikkelsen is both far closer to Doom's natural accent while having tremendous presence through his tone.
As much as I love RDJ, you gotta get a new actor for Doom. It's kinda poetic that the character who started the MCU and the character who in a way will end it/soft reboot it are played by the same actor but after Secret Wars you goota give the Doctor Doom role to another actor and have RDJ as Domm be a one saga thing. The only ones that shouldn't be recasted Fantastic Four related wise are the Fantastic Four and their other villains along with their supporting cast. But Doom as much as I love RDJ NEEDS to be recasted and have another actor play him
Imagine some leader of the Multiversal Avengers group (prolly some Cap variant or God Loki himself), says "Avengers Assemble", and they just keep assembling for 5 minutes straight and Doom's army just waits in disappointment for them all to assemble. Then they should have that "What you wanted more?" Wong reference from Endgame.
I would prefer a new casting. It just seems like Marvel is banking on these actors to revive Marvel but what they need is good character development and great writing. Regardless I want to see Marvel win so I hope this works.
I love our RDJ so much his portrayal of Iron Man was iconic I was lukewarm to the idea of him coming back to play Dr. doom I do hope it ends up being a Tony Stark variant cause I can really show what messing with the Multiverse can really do but I do hope after secret war, we get a recast.
There's no f@cking way Marvel can AFFORD RDJ as Doom going forward. Secret Wars is the perfect opportunity to send off the old cast, or most of them, and bring on the new. The legacy actors have to be to expensive to keep around
4:35 I'm not worried about the origin thing. I think for the younger versions of Doom & Reed, they just get younger actors to play them. Probably not as much of a need to do too much of the de-aging stuff. Maybe only if it's a few years they need to take off, then sure. 🤔🤷♂️
They did a pretty great job in Capt America! But I have mixed thoughts about Jr playing Doom, but I hope that they at least stick to the original storyline from the comics...
I think we should get a different actor. Robert Downy Jr. should be this Iron Man variant who turned into Dr. Doom. We should get a new actor after secret wars be dr. Doom but the real Viktor Von doom. They should get michael fassbender. Favorite Hero: Batman
As much as I love RDJ, we need to get a new Doom. I like the fact that reboots essentially allow the actors to play different roles, I am glad for Jason Momoa. But seriously, after Secret Wars, I want to see a lesser known actor come in and play Doom properly with a proper story, personality and Latveria! I want to see someone new to the industry become achieve a landmark by playing Doom, just like RDJ did by playing Iron Man, like Tom Hiddleston did by playing Loki!
you ll see latveria in f4 in july you ll see who is doom and why he is(briefly)as a person as a king as a former reed Richards allie/friend in the 15 20 minutes participation that doom will have then they ll squeeze way more in doomsday along with peter parker and along with one or a few flashbacks of doom s origin for example a flashback oh him saving latveria from the barons and becoming king and/or a flashback exposing the fallout of him and reed or that flashback might be exposed in the 15 20 minutes in F4...we ll have a great doom story worthy on its time(small)but intense and meaningful just like thanos
then i won t need anymore doom content honestly...we ll have arishem annhilus mr sinister apocalypse sentinels kingpin kang from quantomania(tbd) Galactus silver surfer(norran and his wife) or just his wife we ll see and off course mephisto so doom won t be needed
I get their comic "what if" adaption of Tony stark and doom switching bodies, but rdj as doom is ethnicity wise wrong but thematically it works in favor. Still sore we can't get a proper doom actor that is not full american
RDJ is going to own this role as Doom. As Chris Evans did something very similar with the change from Johnny storm to Steve Rogers. It wasn't disappointing it just showed the range these actors have.😊
I'm not sure how I feel about RDJ staying on as Doom. I was surprised and liked the idea of him being a Temp Doom and a version of Doom that looked like Iron Man. But as the Doom going forward, I don't know. I was hoping they'd use this time to figure out and cast the actual Doom going forward post Secret Wars reboot. I'm not sure I'm a fan of what Marvel is doing from the info you've shown so far. Would like to see how it plays out and I hope I'm wrong and this ends up as a good thing. But as of now, I don't think I like this as these bits of insider info you've presented here. 🤔😔
Honestly, I was wondering what kind of actor would be casted as the new Doctor Doom after Secret Wars because I thought how Robert Downey Jr. wouldn't want to stay in with Marvel forever, like how he originally wanted Spider-Man Homecoming to be the last time he plays Tony. But then again, Hugh Jackman did say how he reached out to Ryan Reynolds about how he wanted to come back as Wolverine shortly before they would've started Deadpool 3. And now that Hugh Jackman says he would love to continue playing the character for another 10 years, I guess that means RDJ would love to play Doom for years to come if he enjoys the experience that much. I guess it does make sense for him to stay as Doom instead of bringing a new actor, otherwise a new Doctor Doom wouldn't have a personal history with this specific Reed Richards. I mean, sure, they made Willem Dafoe's Goblin an enemy for Tom Holland even though Tobey Maguire's version was his original enemy, but they still managed to make it work. If they do keep RDJ after Secret Wars, they need to figure out how to make things work out and how they will end his character's story. Because I do not know how they can end Doom's story after something as big as Secret Wars. Plus, with keeping Doom after that film, his threats won't be as big as what he will be doing in Doomsday and Secret Wars.
RDJ remaining in the MCU is perfection… you KNOW all the doubters are gonna fall for him as Doom as soon as he debuts on screen… it will be epic and emotional 💥⚡️
I love it! Everyone saying “I hope they don’t mention it” man I know they will and they better! They wouldn’t be good filmmakers if they didn’t address the biggest casting twist of all time on one of the biggest movies ever. Like come on. This also kinda gives weight to the “Tony Stark is adopted” theory! I love it!
I love that they’re bringing back the legacy actors, but I hope it’s not long term. The MCU really needs a fresh start. And I’m ready to see a new Wolverine.
They could try this, after avengers defeat doom, a new doom appears to save RDJ doom, teleport both somewhere safe and place RDJ in a cryo sleep to recover while the new doom takes over for now. Thar'd a good way to present a new doom.
I personally do not love the idea of RDJ as Doom, one of the things I like about him the most is his wit and sarcasm. Doom doesn't read that way to me, he's much more serious and much more stern, I personally would have voted for Cillian Murphy.
Well, considering it's not a real country, it could sound like anything he wants it to sound like. But I'm guessing he'll do an Eastern European type of accent. As in something that sounds similar to Russian or German perhaps? I think he pulled off a pretty convincing English accent (from an American actor) in the Sherlock movies and he's serious about his craft so I'll give him the benefit of the doubt until I hear it on screen.
RDJ continuing as Doom is what I have been sure was the MCU’s plot all along. These theories about him just leaving after Secret Wars never made much sense to me.
Doom will continue but RDJ most likely not. A reboot basically is going to reboot whatever character arc RDJs doom will have. I don’t think RDJ wants his character to be rebooted. It makes sense to recast doom after secret wars
I didn’t realize Pedro Pascals age. it’s a mistake to cast anyone over forty in new roles (Doom usually has a mask on, so that’s a different story.) This tremendously limits them, unless they expect everyone will simply accept recasting with another actor when the time comes.
Totally agree! Robert Downey Jr. will be an unforgettable Doctor Doom even after Avengers: Secret Wars. He has the charisma and presence to bring the character to life in a unique way, just as he did with Iron Man. 🔥. And I'm still sad that Jonathan Majors lost the role of Kang the Conqueror, but he got new opportunities in Merciless and Magazine Dreams, but of course I want him to be Kang the Conqueror again.
This is dumb. RDJ as dr doom is a gimmick. Marvel studios care more about putting him in this than adapting the time runs out/secret war story accurately.
Wouldn’t hate it, if they can make RDJ so good as doom, they can bring a new iron man in from multiverse to stick around, the twist of him looking like iron man will have impact… however, I think doom will be doom And no variant stuff involved with iron man. Facial scars etc will make the difference RDJ is so good I think it will be a completely different character, we’ve already shown an actor (Chris Evans) can work in multiple roles looking the same, I think RDJ will do such a good job as doom we won’t hate it as much as we think, possible love it
Seriously, what is up with people wanting RDJ to be Victor Von Doom and not a Tony Stark variant, which makes way more sense for their choice of bringing RDJ back to begin with?? He was in the MCU long enough as Iron Man that a lot of us hardcores (and even the normies) already associate him as that character. You really have to consider those group of moviegoers cuz they still watch these movies, but don't read the comics like us. And before people try and say to me in the replies about Chris Evans and his history, that's a completely different story. Yes, he played Johnny Storm but that was in the Fox-Verse. Plus, he only played the character in just TWO Fantastic Four films before coming back as a variant in Deadpool & Wolverine, where he gets killed off just 5 minutes in. Because he played Captain America much longer much longer in the MCU, people will associate him more as that character than Johnny Storm. You get what I'm saying? Same thing here with RDJ. Sure, there can be multiple variants of a certain character played by either that same actor or a different actor, whether or not they were in the MCU before. I get that. But the MCU's target audience has always been (and will be) the normies, so they're not going to understand the whole Mutliverse concept like we do. That's why if you're gonna bring back a familiar face to the MCU, like RDJ as a different character, where his face is likely gonna be shown throughout both Avengers movies, mind you, him being a Tony Stark variant of Doctor Doom makes way more sense than Victor Von Doom cuz that was a thing in the comics and helps differentiate these two versions, especially if you're going to introduce the MCU's version of Victor Von Doom with a different actor, post-Multiverse Saga. But keeping RDJ around as Doom after you've rebooted the franchise is an absolute cop-out. Not to mention, the man's approaching 60. Let him move on! Whatever the Russo's have planned, they better know what they're doing, as much as I love them. Cuz I still don't buy this Victor Von Doom BS and hoping they're just throwing us off until these films come out.
RDJ could Easily portray an alternate version of Iron Man as well as Dr Doom and then return as Tony Stark and then in the future he can become the "Superior Iron Man."
I don't know what to think. Guess we'll see. Or maybe just Cillian Murphy after the reboot, but the same Dr. Doom. Just with a different face. And for Deadpool and Wolverine having a "2nd" and "3rd" movie, the correct word is a Deadpool 4 and a Deadpool 5. Just with Wolverine and possibly someone else. Love the MCU 3000
If they keep RDJ as Dr. Doom they need to sideline him for a bit during the mutant saga. Maybe Dr. Strange and the Avengers/FF decide to wipe his mind because he’s too dangerous. Doom then has to figure out what happened, with hints sprinkled throughout the mutant saga. Then Doom emerges as a threat in the next saga after realizing what happened to him, and seeks revenge.
I know the next saga is a “mutant” saga, but I don’t think they’re gonna devote as much time to them as we originally thought. They have to spend a whole phase tying up loose ends from this saga (BP3, DrS3, S-C2, Hulk movie) where are these more mutant led movies going to come in at?
Not too happy about RDJ as Doom permanently. All other legacy actors returning without IronMan is F’ed up. I mean one variant of RDJ as Doom is cool but not getting someone else is lame, still think Jean Carlo Esposito would have been the best pick for Doom but hey I don’t write movies .
I wonder which movie will push us into Secret Wars. I say this because I firmly believe Avengers: Doomsday is going to be a full on Doctor Doom movie, similar to Ultron.
It would be nice if Doom, Reed, Xavier and whoever else were older adults. Not in their 50's and up. It would also be nice to get a rebooted Hank Pym that's not very old. 🤷🏾♂️
Not sure how i feel about this I'm not doubting that RDJ as Doom will do an amazing job but I honestly i envisioned a new actor playing Dr doom after secret wars I'm sure that they can find a way to make this work I just not sure fans would easily except this movie until they see how he and the story play out
God I don’t want Downey as Doom. I’m cool with it as a one-time multiverse thing, but he’s Iron Man. I’d rather him come back fully as Iron Man than as Doom.
Honestly, I couldn't care less if RDJ stays as Doom after Secret Wars. What I take issue with is the idea that Doom won't be killed. Like what?? How can there be a satisfying end to the multiverse saga if the big bad threat isn't even taken down/dead?! It's not that I think he has to die, it's just that making him stick around after the strongest heroes of the multiverse stop him is extremely unsatisfying, especially because he'll probably become a side problem to make way for the big bad of the next saga. The Avengers movies work because they actually *take down the bad guy in the end.* I'm all for keeping villains around, but not when they're *the* avengers level threat to be defeated. That's why Thanos worked, because there was buildup and he was defeated. The end. (And I am willing to cut the MCU some slack on the buildup part because there's at least still time to set him up in the remaining phase 6 movies) This is one of the dumbest ideas I've heard of from Marvel
I honestly hate this idea. If Marvel wants to bring RDJ back after Secret Wars and they want to bring Iron Man back as well then they should just bring RDJ back as Iron Man and recast Doctor Doom
What is up with y'all wanting this, knowing it makes absolutely no sense in casting RDJ, without people associating him as Iron Man??? And please don't give me the whole "Chris Evans/was Human Torch before Captain America" story, that's completely different and not a justifiable excuse for this. A Tony Stark variant as Doom makes a lot more sense given that it was a thing in the comics so the Russso's saying he's Victor Von Doom, I don't buy whatsoever and hope they're lying to us until these films come out.

I’m cool with this
As much as I love RDJ. New doom
I would prefer a new actor given the chance to play Doom after RDJ.
Let them get a new actor to play Doctor Doom.
Yeah I like this.
Cillian Murphy as Doctor Doom would be perfect
Nope it really wouldn't. Robert Downey Jr as Doom isn't going to be very good either . It will be just okay.
Ioan Grufford (first reed richard) as doom would be cooler lol
Mads or bust. Keep in mind this will largely be a voice-acted role, Mikkelsen is both far closer to Doom's natural accent while having tremendous presence through his tone.
Or Adam driver
So would Adam Driver.

But Doom as much as I love RDJ NEEDS to be recasted and have another actor play him
Agreed
They have to start getting younger at some point with these actors bub 👍
Viggo mortensen
agreed. As much as I like RDJ as well.He suits Iron-Man well and he is already well known as Iron-man.
What about Spider-Man and doctor strange
Just imagine the first scene when they all arrive on battleworld giving me goosebumps
probably gonna look like that one antman end credit scene with the kangs
@Noclip6nah that was trash
@@nocapneverbrokeagain1774 The credits scene was amazing. It was the best part of the entire movie!
Imagine some leader of the Multiversal Avengers group (prolly some Cap variant or God Loki himself), says "Avengers Assemble", and they just keep assembling for 5 minutes straight and Doom's army just waits in disappointment for them all to assemble.

Fantastic 4 is going to be so good I just hope they introduce Doom
They will, so no worries. Matt Shakman knew about RDJ a year ago. They wouldn't have told him unless it directly involved him.
They need to in the post credit
@ yeah
@ thanks for the conformation
Yes just quick cameo in a credits scene, where he just smirks menacingly would be enough!
Hugh needs a team-up in the Raimiverse vs Mysterio & Mr.Sinister
Jude law as doctor Doom would be a great casting
New Doom Please!!!! Cillian Murphy would be perfect for the role
I really hope they don't kill off doom
nobody stays dead in the multiverse… *EXCEPT UNCLE BEN*
I want Kang back!
I am really hyped but bro for the love of Dr. Doom this 1:09 would have been a way waaay better thumbnail, no.?!
There's no f@cking way Marvel can AFFORD RDJ as Doom going forward. Secret Wars is the perfect opportunity to send off the old cast, or most of them, and bring on the new. The legacy actors have to be to expensive to keep around

I'm not worried about the origin thing. I think for the younger versions of Doom & Reed, they just get younger actors to play them. Probably not as much of a need to do too much of the de-aging stuff. Maybe only if it's a few years they need to take off, then sure. 🤔🤷♂️
They did a pretty great job in Capt America! But I have mixed thoughts about Jr playing Doom, but I hope that they at least stick to the original storyline from the comics...
I think we should get a different actor. Robert Downy Jr. should be this Iron Man variant who turned into Dr. Doom.
We should get a new actor after secret wars be dr. Doom but the real Viktor Von doom.
They should get michael fassbender.
Favorite Hero: Batman
Nah, in comic Dr doom admire Tony stark, that's why he stole Tony stark identity
😅 *as long as Kang returns in phase 7, I don't mind RDJ staying as permanent Doom...
As much as I love RDJ, we need to get a new Doom. I like the fact that reboots essentially allow the actors to play different roles, I am glad for Jason Momoa. But seriously, after Secret Wars, I want to see a lesser known actor come in and play Doom properly with a proper story, personality and Latveria! I want to see someone new to the industry become achieve a landmark by playing Doom, just like RDJ did by playing Iron Man, like Tom Hiddleston did by playing Loki!
you ll see latveria in f4 in july you ll see who is doom and why he is(briefly)as a person as a king as a former reed Richards allie/friend in the 15 20 minutes participation that doom will have then they ll squeeze way more in doomsday along with peter parker and along with one or a few flashbacks of doom s origin for example a flashback oh him saving latveria from the barons and becoming king and/or a flashback exposing the fallout of him and reed or that flashback might be exposed in the 15 20 minutes in F4...we ll have a great doom story worthy on its time(small)but intense and meaningful just like thanos
then i won t need anymore doom content honestly...we ll have arishem annhilus mr sinister apocalypse sentinels kingpin kang from quantomania(tbd) Galactus silver surfer(norran and his wife) or just his wife we ll see and off course mephisto so doom won t be needed
Love your content!
With so many great actors out there, they bring the same one who played Ironman. Hard to see him as Dr. DOOM
And Chris Evans captain america
I get their comic "what if" adaption of Tony stark and doom switching bodies, but rdj as doom is ethnicity wise wrong but thematically it works in favor.
Still sore we can't get a proper doom actor that is not full american
@manassesnascimento4483 curious question, who would be the better actor for captain america (Steve rogers)
Bring back majors
I would like a new actor to play Dr. Doom
You know damn well RDJ shouldn't be the Doom going into the reboot bro c'mon lol
Yesssss
RDJ is going to own this role as Doom. As Chris Evans did something very similar with the change from Johnny storm to Steve Rogers. It wasn't disappointing it just showed the range these actors have.😊
That..... Would be so damn awful I prefer the original plan with Kang
Right. Just recast Kang and continue with the original plan.

Would love him to continue playing doom. There’s so many great stories they could tell
I wonder how RDJ feels about the amount of ai doom art there has been, its wild atp
RDJ remaining in the MCU is perfection… you KNOW all the doubters are gonna fall for him as Doom as soon as he debuts on screen… it will be epic and emotional 💥⚡️
3:49 “And they were roommates” 😁
I love it! Everyone saying “I hope they don’t mention it” man I know they will and they better! They wouldn’t be good filmmakers if they didn’t address the biggest casting twist of all time on one of the biggest movies ever. Like come on. This also kinda gives weight to the “Tony Stark is adopted” theory! I love it!
everything lives.
If they are rebooting the entire MCU after Secret Wars, then they should cast all characters with younger actors. 🤷♂️
They should recast after the Multiverse Saga. Adam Driver is still my top pick for Doom.
I love that they’re bringing back the legacy actors, but I hope it’s not long term. The MCU really needs a fresh start. And I’m ready to see a new Wolverine.
Here we go one more time everybody feeling fine here we go now !!!!! Marvel universe 🌟
They could try this, after avengers defeat doom, a new doom appears to save RDJ doom, teleport both somewhere safe and place RDJ in a cryo sleep to recover while the new doom takes over for now. Thar'd a good way to present a new doom.
I hope RDJ as Dr Victor Von Doom in the MCU is going to be the main villain in Secret Wars!!!
Do not keep Robert Downey Jr as Dr Doom and the MCU after secret wars!
No.
I’m already having trouble seeing RDJ as Doom. Let alone continuing as (main) Doom past SW. Hope they make it work.
hi The Cosmic Wonder
I personally do not love the idea of RDJ as Doom, one of the things I like about him the most is his wit and sarcasm. Doom doesn't read that way to me, he's much more serious and much more stern, I personally would have voted for Cillian Murphy.
I’m not sold until I hear Downey do a “Latverian accent” without sounding corny.
Well, considering it's not a real country, it could sound like anything he wants it to sound like. But I'm guessing he'll do an Eastern European type of accent. As in something that sounds similar to Russian or German perhaps?
I think he pulled off a pretty convincing English accent (from an American actor) in the Sherlock movies and he's serious about his craft so I'll give him the benefit of the doubt until I hear it on screen.
I still think rdj as dr.doom is a variant . And cillian Murphy is the real dr.doom then rdj coming back as Iron man,
Iron Man will return in Secret Wars and will have Iron Man 4 in 2028
RDJ continuing as Doom is what I have been sure was the MCU’s plot all along. These theories about him just leaving after Secret Wars never made much sense to me.
Doom will continue but RDJ most likely not. A reboot basically is going to reboot whatever character arc RDJs doom will have. I don’t think RDJ wants his character to be rebooted. It makes sense to recast doom after secret wars
Marvel needs to recast Doctor Doom after Secret Wars when the MCU gets a much needed reboot. RDJ can't be there forever.
Useless.
Let them get a new actor to play Dr. Doom.
I didn’t realize Pedro Pascals age. it’s a mistake to cast anyone over forty in new roles (Doom usually has a mask on, so that’s a different story.) This tremendously limits them, unless they expect everyone will simply accept recasting with another actor when the time comes.
Totally agree! Robert Downey Jr. will be an unforgettable Doctor Doom even after Avengers: Secret Wars. He has the charisma and presence to bring the character to life in a unique way, just as he did with Iron Man. 🔥. And I'm still sad that Jonathan Majors lost the role of Kang the Conqueror, but he got new opportunities in Merciless and Magazine Dreams, but of course I want him to be Kang the Conqueror again.
This is dumb. RDJ as dr doom is a gimmick. Marvel studios care more about putting him in this than adapting the time runs out/secret war story accurately.
Id prefer a clean slate of actors across the board, with the exception of maybe tom Holland.
Nobody
Ever
Really
Dies…Nerds
Wouldn’t hate it, if they can make RDJ so good as doom, they can bring a new iron man in from multiverse to stick around, the twist of him looking like iron man will have impact… however, I think doom will be doom
And no variant stuff involved with iron man. Facial scars etc will make the difference RDJ is so good I think it will be a completely different character, we’ve already shown an actor (Chris Evans) can work in multiple roles looking the same, I think RDJ will do such a good job as doom we won’t hate it as much as we think, possible love it
They should have made Deadpool take over Stan Lee's cameos. Maybe to an even bigger capacity, since Deapool can actually do stuff
Seriously, what is up with people wanting RDJ to be Victor Von Doom and not a Tony Stark variant, which makes way more sense for their choice of bringing RDJ back to begin with?? He was in the MCU long enough as Iron Man that a lot of us hardcores (and even the normies) already associate him as that character.

And before people try and say to me in the replies about Chris Evans and his history, that's a completely different story. Yes, he played Johnny Storm but that was in the Fox-Verse. Plus, he only played the character in just TWO Fantastic Four films before coming back as a variant in Deadpool & Wolverine, where he gets killed off just 5 minutes in. Because he played Captain America much longer much longer in the MCU, people will associate him more as that character than Johnny Storm. You get what I'm saying? Same thing here with RDJ.
Sure, there can be multiple variants of a certain character played by either that same actor or a different actor, whether or not they were in the MCU before. I get that.

And for Deadpool and Wolverine having a "2nd" and "3rd" movie, the correct word is a Deadpool 4 and a Deadpool 5. Just with Wolverine and possibly someone else. Love the MCU 3000

I know the next saga is a “mutant” saga, but I don’t think they’re gonna devote as much time to them as we originally thought. They have to spend a whole phase tying up loose ends from this saga (BP3, DrS3, S-C2, Hulk movie) where are these more mutant led movies going to come in at?

Honestly kinda disappointed with that rumor
I was hoping for a different Dr. Doom to play the “real” Doom
Someone younger to stick around for awhile
They need a Doom for the upcoming Fantastic Four sequels.
Not too happy about RDJ as Doom permanently. All other legacy actors returning without IronMan is F’ed up. I mean one variant of RDJ as Doom is cool but not getting someone else is lame, still think Jean Carlo Esposito would have been the best pick for Doom but hey I don’t write movies .
I wonder which movie will push us into Secret Wars. I say this because I firmly believe Avengers: Doomsday is going to be a full on Doctor Doom movie, similar to Ultron.
It would be nice if Doom, Reed, Xavier and whoever else were older adults. Not in their 50's and up. It would also be nice to get a rebooted Hank Pym that's not very old. 🤷🏾♂️
brand new spider boy in the mcu in 2026 today now yes are no 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Not sure how i feel about this I'm not doubting that RDJ as Doom will do an amazing job but I honestly i envisioned a new actor playing Dr doom after secret wars I'm sure that they can find a way to make this work I just not sure fans would easily except this movie until they see how he and the story play out
A lot of logos actors to play doom post secret wars, Adam Driver, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, Michael Fasbender, Keanu Reeves, etc
The longer we have RDJ, the better
im hoping this is just a very out of season april fool's joke
They should’ve just kept him as iron man if they want to pay him now.
Do the Reed/Victor backstory in flashbacks, using Kirby-esque animation, like the old FF cartoon. Kind of like the Miss Minutes exposition.
It’s like they just hate common sense.
Would prefer a new actor to play Doom. I want there to be a Doom prime. One that looks like no other actor that we've seen in the MCU.
Now this could get interesting
God I don’t want Downey as Doom. I’m cool with it as a one-time multiverse thing, but he’s Iron Man. I’d rather him come back fully as Iron Man than as Doom.
Honestly, I couldn't care less if RDJ stays as Doom after Secret Wars. What I take issue with is the idea that Doom won't be killed. Like what?? How can there be a satisfying end to the multiverse saga if the big bad threat isn't even taken down/dead?! It's not that I think he has to die, it's just that making him stick around after the strongest heroes of the multiverse stop him is extremely unsatisfying, especially because he'll probably become a side problem to make way for the big bad of the next saga. The Avengers movies work because they actually *take down the bad guy in the end.* I'm all for keeping villains around, but not when they're *the* avengers level threat to be defeated. That's why Thanos worked, because there was buildup and he was defeated. The end. (And I am willing to cut the MCU some slack on the buildup part because there's at least still time to set him up in the remaining phase 6 movies) This is one of the dumbest ideas I've heard of from Marvel
They can do flashbacks using a young actor for Dr Doom and Mr Fantastic
i think a new doom would be the best way to use him so you can get to some origin stuff and his mom and dermomu
Any updates about the zombies show?
Everyone assumes that he will look like tony stark. Well, what if they pull a penguin with him and go full prostetic face?
I want RDJ to not be main Doom... Victor Von Doom
Gotta see how he does first then we would see if we want him back as doom
I honestly hate this idea. If Marvel wants to bring RDJ back after Secret Wars and they want to bring Iron Man back as well then they should just bring RDJ back as Iron Man and recast Doctor Doom
I hope we get an au doctor doom that is ethnically accurate to the comics
Everything Lives💚
I don't have rdj being Doom. Let them cook!
I just hope he’s Victor Von Doom and isn’t a Tony Stark variant or something.
What is up with y'all wanting this, knowing it makes absolutely no sense in casting RDJ, without people associating him as Iron Man??? And please don't give me the whole "Chris Evans/was Human Torch before Captain America" story, that's completely different and not a justifiable excuse for this. A Tony Stark variant as Doom makes a lot more sense given that it was a thing in the comics so the Russso's saying he's Victor Von Doom, I don't buy whatsoever and hope they're lying to us until these films come out.
@ I know that’s probably the case, but I just hate the idea. I’d rather him just be Victor Von Doom.
@@MarvelFan-zi9wq I get that but normies aren't up to date on these things like we are. Therefore, this move would only bring them more confusion.
iron man should have returned
I have mixed feelings on RDJ as Doctor Doom
Well i think rdj is going to played both of those two same characters as doctor victor von doom and iron man in avengers secret wars
