If they show his face they already fucked up

It’s about as mid as the fans.

Yeah they’re going to cast like the highest paid actor in the world and then not show his face

Who did they cast Adam Sandler as? Hopefully a cameo that dies before it’s able to do too much damage.

I’m wondering if they’ll turn an alternative universe Tony Stark into Doom. Are there any comics where this happens?

As far as feelings: very excited. I was bummed when Robert Downey Jr. exited the MCU and it will be nice to have him back. I hope it’s more than a cameo.

Interestingly, there’s one arc where Doctor Doom becomes Iron Man and joins The Avengers.

That would be an interesting twist. Alt Tony Stark is Dr. Doom so the real Dr. Doom joins the Avengers to save the universe. Although Doom’s motivation would likely be to prove he’s the superior Doom. Seems like that would make a decent Secret Wars plotline.

It must be really. “Its nega-ironman with an iron face!”

Only reason they’d reuse an actor

Looks like he is slated for the next two avengers movies instead of Kang. I have mixed feelings, but no telling until we get to see it. I’m hopeful that it will turn out well

I think it’d be cool if new/not famous actors were given big roles like this. It’s a joke that RDJ got this role and Hollywood has the same issue as Washington-- bunch of old people who can’t wrap their heads around going with new talent instead of the same tired old actors.

When a movie markets itself around the fame of the main actor(s), I can’t help but think it’s gonna be more hype the substance. But when a movie has some very lesser known characters but knocks it outta the park, I like that a lot more. Prey is a good example of this.

MCU movies and all that stuff are just a cheap ass cash grab and decisions are made based on profit viability more than anything. Just so painfully formulaic.
