Robert Downey Jr PROVES Marvel Is Doctor Doomed

[@disparutoo]

Robert Downey Jr is returning to Disney Marvel as Doctor Doom instead of Ironman. While most are fans of Robert Downey Jr as an actor, it provoked a confused response at best from the audience as to how this would work. Is it just a variant, or will he be coming in as an entirely new made up person? There are questions as to the timeline of his hiring though, alongside do the Russo Brothers still have the ability to carry this kind of movie? But as Deadpool and Wolverine proved you can make a 1 off, if shallow, fun movie, can Disney Marvel launch an entire new phase of the MCU? And despite bringing back the people from the past, can present Disney stop getting in their way? What do you think of what you saw? Let me know your thoughts down below and as always, thanks for watching :)

Not impossible but it's unlikely. Downey would need make up to make his face resemble Doom's heavily scarred face and/or spend most of his time on screen in-costume. Unlikely, but maybe they can stay faithful to the character who almost never appears without his mask and at least some of his costume (whether for ease of access to some arcane spells/sigils inscribed upon his armour or to quickly access remote access to a piece of tech, such as calling upon an army of doombots to protect him).

Because the instant I read that RDJ was being brought back as Doom of all things, my first and instant thought was "holy crap, they have no idea what they're doing and are just desperately throwing things against a wall."

[@boobah5643]

@@Likexner Multiverses can be close _or_ many. You can't do both without breaking any story that isn't about 'the multiverse' rather than any characters within it. A 'close' multiverse is one where different realities contain many of the same people and events, with branching points you can spot. _Dr. Who's_ "Turn Left," for example. A 'far' multiverse, obviously, does not have different versions of the same characters running around; you generally not only want not another Barry Allen, but you probably don't want Wally West in his costume, either. A 'many' multiverse has innumerable variations. Not necessarily infinite, but not necessarily not infinite. You can just keep finding more worlds, and nobody really knows how many are out there. 'Multiverse' just explains why you don't have space ships and everybody speaks English. Combine them and the characters become fungible commodities; why should I care if Wesley died if I can just grab the Wesley from the next universe over to fill his shoes? A 'few' multiverse fixes this by limiting how many alternates there are; yes, there is more than one of a character, but if they come in six packs rather than bulk you'll _eventually_ run out.

Your comparison to Dr Who had me thinking of another possible comparison. In 2021 we were given The Matrix Resurrections. It had Keanu. It had Carrie Anne Moss. It even had a Wachowski directing it. But clearly the result was very different from what the original trilogy gave us. I wouldn’t be surprised if whatever comes from this casting misses the mark as well. I think you’re right that the Marvel Studios that RDJ started making movies with is completely different than the one we have today.

[@anubusx]

Keanu Reeves should be Doctor Doom.

[@CheapGodiva]

It can't do well because it's the same people writing the same tripe about girl bosses. Who's even supposed to fight Dr. Doom? Captain Marvel and the marvelettes?

[@christiankic9513]

“Captain African American” 😂😂

[@thunderspear2251]

My roommate's a huge Marvel fan (bit of a "rose-tinted glasses" guy), and he was hyped as hell for RDJ to return. I'm still very skeptical, not that RDJ couldn't pull off a good role, but with him already being established as someone in the universe, it worries me a bit. As I told him, "These are either gonna be the greatest movies in cinematic history, or the biggest fumbles in film history." I'm hoping it'll be the former, but with how laughably bad Disney's been lately, I'm wondering if it'll be the latter.

[@robertluna5737]

So…doom is going to be facing ironheart, Kate bishop, America Chavez, Shuri panther, clea strange, and Cassie lang? Oh boy, I’m already in the car.

[@tlrlml]

Yes, but the climactic battle will be the girls lecturing him on the evils of the patriarchy....

[@jiggycalzone8585]

This whole comment section gives me hope

[@portalmanHUN]

Doom would fold all of those characters in a minute but we all know where this is going.

[@jeniferclemente1252]

Even Kevin Feige was saying he wants to get another actor to replace Hugh Jackman as Wolverine but “have his own style and not imitate Hugh Jackman” (for the ‘next project’) They definitely get money to keep screwing things up and not learning at all.

[@JohnJacobSchmidtt]

Yes I don't plan on watching any other wolverine unless it's Hugh Jackman... They can't do him dirty like that. He was the only one I was looking forward to make a comeback.

[@jeniferclemente1252]

@@JohnJacobSchmidtt yeah, well Feige already proved he’s out of his mind.

You'll take my life but I'll take yours too You'll fire your musket but I'll run you through So when you're waiting for the next attack You'd better stand there's no turning back The bugle sounds, the charge begins But on this battlefield no one wins The smell of acrid smoke and horse's breath As I plunge on into certain death

RDJ is indeed undertaking the same task. The task of floating an entire studio.

[@vanheath5382]

They will need one heck of trailer to get me in the theater again. I love RDJ, but Disney/Marvel has already broken my trust to many times. I’m apathetic now.

[@valkyrie2307]

Meh, you'll be able to pirate it within 3 hours and tell in the first 20 minutes if it's something you want to spend money on. I guess I have just given up on the MCU, and bringing RDJ back seems like a fail. Hope it's not, but MCU has no honor or respect for it's fans.

[@bigdoubleu117]

I really didn't understand this casting. If it's in the MCU, it makes no sense.

[@dahelmang]

They are paying him instead of the media this time. I kind of appreciate that.

[@wishmaster4089]

Wait until 'the fans' see his first performance as Dr. Doom, where there's no wise cracking sarcasm and funnies with every second line from RDJ. Then by his second performance, he's basically just Tony Stark cosplaying as Dr. Doom.

[@aclark7243]

Its clear its desperation, the obvious is that nobody talk about the principal characters, you know, those from the title. How was it, ah yes i remember now, the AVENGERS, they re in the title.

Is it only me that has to resist the urge to say "throbbing" now, whenever someone says something even remotely rude sounding? Mrs: is the back door open? Me: no, i closed it. My brain: throbbing.

[@OceanbornAngel]

I can't believe RDJ will be Doom. This is a swerve.

[@tlrlml]

A swerve is when you miss the tree... _this_ is a face plant!

[@riffsnreviews]

I'm guessing it's going to be some alternate universe thing (maybe because of deadpool) where Downey is dr doom instead of iron-man, and downey will be there as doom and iron man

[@daywither927]

Honestly, I expect RDJ to be the least of the problems with the upcoming films. The worldbuilding is screwed, there are no good characters left, and their recent track record is awful.

[@melissarmt7330]

If they want "long term", maybe they should look at Godzilla and what the Japanese accomplished with very little.

[@ParkerCS2]

Or Matt Reeves’ the Batman or Todd Phillips’ Joker or Christopher Nolan’s dark knight trilogy

[@keegobricks9734]

I can't wait to see Robert Downey Jr, make silly faces directly into the camera again only this time wearing a green hood.

[@valkyrie2307]

All the MCU had to do was hire decent writers; instead of that, they bring RDJ back. Writing is too hard for them. Sad hail mary that has shown how far the MCU has fallen. They couldn't have been more clear that they aren't willing to Do Better.

[@rahn45]

Die as a hero. Become a villain. Turns out it's not all that uncommon in comics!

[@tlrlml]

Talented writers Talented Directors Turns out it's all that uncommon in Hollywood!

[@madginger3634]

The thing is in the MCU no ONE keeps their mask on and Doom never takes his off. So this can't work.

[@andromedach]

Everyone is happy except all those low tier actors who struck for nothing.

[@tlrlml]

Well, they can reassure themselves that their effort helped protect Mr. Downey from unfair practices from the studio execs. Job well done!
