Robert Downey Jr stunned fans as the Iron Man star removed a mask during the San Diego Comic-Con Hall H panel to reveal that he will play Doctor Doom, one of Marvel’s biggest villains, in the upcoming film Avengers: Doomsday.
The panel on Saturday was flooded with hooded figures wearing masks of the comic book villain known for his sorcery and science when Downey Jr revealed his face. “I like playing complicated characters,” he said as fans began to chant his name.
When universes intertwine.
They made Doctor Strange into a pop music fan for his films, they better use MF DOOM music for this iteration of Doom, one way or another.
Or drop a line. “Do you see the perpetrator?” “yeah, I’m right here”
Now, I want to make reference to something about actors and jobs but it would ruin one of my favourite moments of Deadpool & Wolverine. 😆
Because there are other actors who have appeared as different characters in Marvel movies… In fact, D&W contains at least two that I can think of and one is generating a few articles in my newsfeed, although I suspect you are referring to the other, which is indeed one of the best bits of the film (and the end-credit scene).
“We have Doctor Doom at home”
How though? Are we just supposed to forget that he’s Iron Man?
Iron Man died. And with the multiverse stuff being the thing right now, this Dr. Doom is likely an alternative Tony Stark.
From IGN:
It’s also worth pointing out that there are versions of Doctor Doom in the Marvel multiverse who actually are Tony Stark. One of these is Iron Maniac, a version of Tony Stark introduced in 2004’s Marvel Team-Up #3. Another is featured in 2010’s What If? Iron Man: Demon in an Armor #1. In this world, Victor von Doom swapped bodies with Tony Stark in college. Trapped in his rival’s body Tony swears revenge and begins a yearslong quest to destroy Doom’s Stark Universal company.
I’d guess the What If? is the way they’d go.
