I'm an American living overseas, raised to agree with Kristian on the Olympics thing, however I work with people from all over the world and Rocha is right. Different countries have very different approaches to the USA. For example a French colleague took his 8 year old son to see Deadpool 3 yesterday. The kid has already seen one and 2. I think host nation should be given some leeway to display their own culture. If something doesn't fit another nation's broadcast standards or morality, they can censor it locally.

A reek of high desperation indeed! As an MCU fan, I feel immensely conflicted about this decision. And for RDJ to accept the role rather than encouraging Marvel to cast a new actor for the Doom role is quite greedy. $100Mil per film?! Come on man-struggling people-dead people could use that pay! They lost Majors for KANG but it doesn't mean all is lost with KANG! Recast KANG with any good actor! Sidelining him after a 3 year build up?!? (heavy sigh) Marvel made premature announcements with so many projects and then an influx of delays came. Now they want to rush it and still have not revealed the complete slate for phase 6!! I only hope it's all a ruse to a pivotal moment where we realize he's only a temporary variant of Doom and then we are graced with an orginial Victor Von Doom for the main timeline.

[@urzamishra]

I understand the hesitation with RDJ returning, but with what happened to Johnathon Majors and the tepid almost negative attitude about most projects Post Endgame this is a smart step to get back on track. Let’s wait and see what they say and give us in a trailer to understand the story.

[@springer22ddss]

marvel has already told the audience roughly how this is going to work in bits and pieces. RDJ is playing the victor von doom from the universe that the new fantastic 4 are from. its already been stated that the fantastic 4 are from another universe other than the secret timeline, and that its not a origin story and that its a retro futuristic timeline. thats why RDJ is perfect for this victor role as he is older now and the fantastic 4 we are getting are already established. in the fantastic 4 footage they showed at hall H, reed richards is studying the possibility of the multiverse. so whatever ends up bringing the fantastic 4 over to the sacred timeline also brings their victor von doom which of course will end up causing confusion when he shows up looking like tony stark. since the sacred timeline is missing its tony stark (who is most likely the anchor) this new victor/tony may become the new anchor of the sacred timeline which will mess everything up. We will still end up getting a new younger victor von doom in the future

[@zaneplatt3533]

This is 100% true. When you actually look at it, the three best 'MCU' films from the last few years are the least MCU universe based. No Way Home used Sony's history with the character heavily, Guardians had almost zero to do with the larger universe and Deadpool/Wolverine was a love letter to its Fox universe. All the stuff that was tied in heavily to the MCU universe was mediocre. Quantamania, House of Madness, Captian Marvel 2 and so on.

I actually think I might prefer Downey playing actual Victor instead of a variant version, because I think introducing a variant Doom before actual Doom kinda waters down that character and his eventual reveal. And I think there could be something kinda interesting and poetic about Downey playing a villain now. BUT if that is in the case, when the mask comes off he needs to be scarred up enough that we don't recognize him. They need to do with him what they did to Colin in The Batman.

Deadpool and Wolverine 100% relies on the MCU's Multiverse story to tell it's story. the story is 100% due to the MCU Multiverse. Whether you like the movies or not facts are facts. the top grossing movies after endgame by Marvel Studios in the MCU are all the multiverse movies

I need RDJ in the Doom mask to say "I'm just a dude playing a dude who looks like another dude"... 😂

[@marcakins3373]

I don’t care about the cost of anything, that isn’t my problem/issue….my concern of all the people on the world to be DR. Doom, why use the same actor that did a brilliant, short lived character arc TONY STARK?!?! RDJ is a great actor, but he alone doesn’t put behinds in seats….his Dr. DOOLITTLE tanked, Sherlock films didn’t do too well…. I have huge concerns with the decisions happening behind the scenes with the powers that be in MARVEL…seriously

[@mikeschmurf]

I’m confused how he wouldn’t be a Stark variant. Why does he look exactly like him?

[@peteparker22]

Unless it's the Doom story where he never shows his face

Have to watch young woman and the sea with your daughter if shes getting into swimming. One of my favorite movies of the year so far.

[@Chadlington69]

Have you seen the leaked trailer for fantastic four? Explains it all straight away pretty much. Not sure if im a fan of it. As yea its set in the 60s but the twist is revealed in the trailer.

You can still have Kang with Nathaniel Richards if they ever circle back around.

It was a tear in their fishnets, not⚽️⚽️. The tear kept getting bigger

My dude Rocha! What are you saying my man. Have some common sense. I get it you are on the left and have to defend your perspective. But cmon man! Have some common sense!

[@josephashley4122]

Only way setup Doom have something at the end credits of Fantastic Four is to get Coleman Domingo as Kang to get killed by Dr Doom

[@jasono.1629]

Great discussion as always gentlemen 👍. Deadpool Wolvie was alright / mediocre. Was fun, but not great. I liked 1st and 2nd better. RDJ as Dr Doom is desperate gimmicky move by MCU. Is he really the best person for the role? No. This may be start of a slow sad death for MCU. Maybe Fantastic 4 and Thunderbolts will save it. X-Men…don’t know if they can do it as good as Bryan Singer already did it.

[@mladenkulic446]

Well, it wouldn't be a show If John Rocha didn't say something stupid, and trying to say that all Europeans are ok with the Olympics Ceremony is laughable. One of the many reasons why I prefer Scott Manz over him. Moving on, Robert Downey Jr coming back as Dr Doom for Avengers Doomsday & Secret Wars is like others have said, desperate. Will I watch him when the movies come out? Yes, of course, but right now, I'm not hyped for the movies. Also if they are going to stick to the release dates of both movies they need to start shooting it either late this year or the beginning of 2025.

[@paulhitchcock2543]

Dude literally said there are people in France who are upset over the opening ceremony. Maybe try listening.

[@raycharles704]

If he Is not a variant of Tony Stark if they said he is Victor von Doom and he’s not a variant why would they play with it in any kind of way why not just not mention it at all and give it to Terrence Howard, Don Cheetle situation

Having watched Twister a lot over the years, I'd get that 10-pointer easy. The Shining. Cool question.
