One of the biggest mistakes in my opinion. They sent him off and closed the chapter so well that it was fitting. To rip him back because they're struggling to make anything half as decent is a cop out and tarnishes the franchise.
I understand comicbook characters die and come back all the time but the multi generational audience that was apart of that experience can never watch end game again as that emotional good bye to the last decade is now gone.
It is most likely damage control because the Kang thing was derailed due to Kang's actor being an abuser. RDJ is now a known and reliable actor for the MCU who is able to play a character like Doom and will most likely never show his actual face on acreen. It would be like Josh Brolin reprising Cable in Deadpool now that it is part of the MCU even though he was already Thanos.
As long as Doom's voice is modulated enough that it doesn't sound like Iron Man it should work out fine.
The time we faced Doom....
Will that lead to a new, actually good Marvel vs Capcom? Because MvC Infinite did as well as these more recent movies.
Huh? Huh.
Wait thats illegal
This is the most comicbook thing ever, and you guys should chill out.
Yes, Marvel movies are bad lately, but the Infinity Saga is a masterpiece of cinema (with its very-high highs and mediocre-at-worst lows) that no one but MarvelStudios has been able to pull off. Maybe they can do it again.
Also RDJ is an amazing actor and he will very probably do a brutal job at making us all forget Tony Stark even existed.
Not to mention I find it doubtful we're going to see his face...like it all. I mean, it's fucking Doctor Doom.
I hope they don't try to tell his origine again; we've seen it already. There are plenty of great actors that could've been Dr Doom, but nooo. This is just a money grab to me.
Hopefully he does take his mask off and they acknowledge it's some variant of Stark.
This decision was made with the money in mind, not cinema; this applies ti Disney and RDJ, so I don't expect a great production. Disney was desperately looking to bring the original cast back somehow, and RDJ has previously talked shit about his Marvel movies...
exactly the first iron man wasn't because of money, no exec wanted RDJ lol, they only choose him because he was good fit for iron man
And it'll still be light years beyond anything Hack Snyder makes.
I see it more like in comicbook stories, where people just love a character so much that they end up bringing them back in the most bizarre way.
This is basically the meta-version of that. And I am in.
I'm not into comics, but I have read something about wolverine. The reason I avoid comics is exactly the same problem the MCU is facing: stories don't really have an impact: theres an infinite number of universes they can write about, and even in the base timeline, they bring back dead heroes; what's even the point?!
I've read/watched some content from people that would be more knowledgeable about comics/DC/Marvel saying that that's actually one of the issues comics have been facing: their audience loves X or Y character AS IS, and they don't allow it to either develope beyond what has been written, or don't want to see him/her retire/die...
I don't know if this is the true state of the industry, but watching the MCU struggle makes me believe it does: they brought back RDJ because they can't think of a solution to the hole they dug themselves into.
this

true
enough
The "enough" is what really actually finishes this chain off
