I'm kind of weirdly excited because I've been wanting him to come back as Doctor Doom for awhile now but didn't think it would actually happen.
There's just so much room for character drama with our avengers having to make sense of a villainous version of their hero. Also room to play with the dichotomy of stark being a man of science and Doom more into magic.
No way lmao. It'll be good I'm sure, but Doom seems like a bigger bad than just one movie. Is he really jumping in for another round of films?
I think it was announced he'd be doing 2 movies. Then I guess they can hand it over to whoever replaces him as Doom from the multiverse.
Is he really jumping in for another round of films?
His bed of money wasn't as comfortable anymore, so he wanted a bit more padding
That seems like something they should’ve waited to reveal during the movie, like had some misdirection about RDJ just being in it for a flashback or a recorded video, just downplay it and make it seem small. Then bust the revelation out midway through the movie.
I'm sure they considered that possibility. But imagine the revenue. RDJ and Doom are both huge draws. Revealing them both in advance gets you more makes money gesture
Now we can make money and make a shitty movie.
I found this post browsing All. I have had significant superhero fatigue right after infinity war part 2, after a whole decade of mild disbelief at how huge these once-niche characters have become.
This headline definitely grabbed my attention, and as you said, the fact that they’re spoiling that he’s going to play Doom is why I checked this thread.
revealing them both
Even mentioning them as separate things wouldn’t have made me look. Their marketing machine is definitely working overtime to get the attention of people burned out on superhero movies.
but you can do that in other ways in-universe as they did with thanos and other upcoming characters. its very un-marvel.
I mean it’s definitely odd, but if he’s masked the whole time, then I guess it’s the same as any other actor doing it.
Not exactly the same, as his voice will share qualities with Stark's (even with a good accent).
then by that logic why have RDJ do it anyway.
I don't agree with the assertion that we definitely won't see his face, but the star power will be a draw.
well yeah that was my point. if they are using RDJ clearly they are going to use him in a recognizable way.
Studio had about 75 million dollars laying around and figured, "what the hell?"
I did not have "RDJ comes back to the MCU as a non-Stark character" on my bingo card
It will almost certainly be a multi verse Tony Stark gone evil.
And I'll bet anything it's Spider-Man that unmasks him and discovers it, leading to a whole mental breakdown by Peter.
Hasn't Peter had enough breakdowns yet?
No😠
Yeah, make the little cockfart suffer, I say!
With great power, comes great meltdowns.
watch it be a multiverse version of Tony Stark.
Tony made Ultron as the ultimate defense around the world. I could see the idea going a slightly different way and that Tony being a little more ambitious/evil, next thing you know he's Doom.
cool spoilers
Ten to one this is a bullshit post. Unless someone can come up with a story on how that would even happen
It appears to have come from a legit account, and it's not April 1st...
Isn't the multiverse their deus ex machina to explain all choices like this?
Probably and I did not like it in high school and college because I thought it was stupid. But god in the machine is pretty much just an easy way out without thinking about it.
Well now. That's a course correction.
...what?
The?
Flip?
F?
