Rober Downey Jr. is Dr. Doom

[Mister H]

Just confirmed at SDCC by Russo Bros.

Don't forget to mention "The Kang Dynasty" being renamed "Doomsday", and the Russos directing both it and Secret Wars.


Got no problem with this, IF he looks substantially different, e.g. make-up, prosthetics, etc.

A 'Tony Stark' variant becoming Dr. Doom, OR, Victor von Doom and Tony Stark both looking like RDJ, would be lame.

But his commitment, gravitas and acting chops are unquestioned.

Is it his "evil twin" that will be Doom?

Yeah I just dont want this to be an evil Tony stark variant or some bs like that. I usually like the concept of the multiverse and variants but theyve done it to death at this point - now it comes off as unoriginal and desperate versus fun and intriguing

He should have have come back to the Marvel Universe as Iron Man... But ok. I will wait and see. I really enjoyed Russo Brother's Infinity War and End Game, Avengers Films and Robert Downey Jr. is a good actor. But still, if he came back as Iron Man, i would be over the clouds. lol But, may be there is a surprise there. All i can do is wait and see.

Oh... And there was like a Superior Iron Man, Doom comics, right ??? where Doom was Iron Man. So may be they plan to do that.

Wow, I heard the rumor a few days back, but didn't put much stock in it. I'm a little conflicted...it's great to have RJD back in the MCU, but it's a bit...strange.

That could very well be it, especially with Secret Wars coming...might be cool, just depends on the execution. The Russo's have a great track record in the MCU, hopefully they keep it going.

Bringing back the Russo bros and RDJ reeks of desperation. Will be hard to see RDJ as anything other than Iron Man, especially a big bad pure evil villain. Perhaps if he always keeps the mask on. I wasn't really feeling Kang and all the TVA stuff, so hopefully that goes away. Mostly looking forward to the X-Men.

Robert Downey Jr. being the great actor he is, will no doubt bring Dr. Doom to life.
To be honest, i have never had any interest in Dr.Doom. That could be about to change.

As for the Thunderbolts, i had to Google them. Seems like there are a ton of them.
Good to see Red Guardian return, as i liked him during Black Widow.
Hot Toys never did release 'that' figure. Maybe they will now?
Yelena Belova is back! ..as is Bucky Barnes & others..

This move is sounding good!

I have never understood the appeale of Dr. Doom as well. I haven't read many things about Doom, but from whatever i read about him, he was just a generic power hungery, unstable dictator who wanted world domination and stuff. Nothing special.

I really like Yelena Belova and Red Guardian as well. Black Widow Film is one of my favorite Marvel films.
