ZeroHour Posted July 28 Share Posted July 28 This is definitely a break glass in case of emergency choice but it will work. At least RDJ will make for a compelling villain. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Porthos Posted July 28 Share Posted July 28 (edited) 16 minutes ago, ChipDerby said: How anyone could say picking RDJ for Doctor Doom is a SAFE choice??? It's a literal insane choice I will say that, obligatory meme-ing aside, but then I wouldn't, would I? The one thing I — I don't know if "strongly suspect" is the right phrase, so let's go with "wondering if" (but on a very strong level) — I wonder if Doctor Doom is gonna be an appropriated title from either Tony or Howard Stark. I gots many reasons for this, but the angst — THINK OF THE ANGST — to see a Stark Variant [more or less] go from The Savior of the Earth to its Next Big Bad is... Well, I'm just saying that the emotional plotline is just sitting there, waiting to be tugged. Doesn't mean it *will*. But damn am I suspicious. *thinks* Yes, landing on "suspicious" is where I think my headspace is at. Edited July 28 by Porthos 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grey ghost Posted July 28 Share Posted July 28 People are acting like there was any excitement for Avengers 5 and 6 before this. Call it desperate but they are short on time to replace Kang. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It comes off as stunt casting to me, I don't like it at all. Can't say I have any hype for these projects anymore, but it seems to have gotten others excited, so... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Similar feelings about this announcement. This move definitely screams desperation, but I guess it will work. Edited July 28 by Kon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blaze Heatnix Posted July 28 Share Posted July 28 So, RDJ is gonna be a Stark Vvariant that becomes Doom or is he really Victor? Given how this is multiverse, I wouldn't doubt that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MOVIEGUY Posted July 28 Share Posted July 28 (edited) Dr. Doom is deformed and wears a mask so it's not like he's gotta look like Tony Stark. I'm fine with the casting I just think he should be playing a totally different character and not a Tony Stark variant.

ZeeSoh Posted July 28 Author Share Posted July 28 Reaction to RDJ's announcement in Hall H I know some people here are not happy about this casting, and some are the usual Marvel detractors. But reception to this news on Reddit seems to be largely positive. Regardless of the reception though, this is huge news and I am seeing a lot of enthusiasm online. IF the Russo's pull off a successful execution, the movie will be huge. The passion for the next Avengers movie was dwindling but this and the success of Deadpool & Wolverine is the shot in the arm that they needed to turn things positive. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric Prime Posted July 28 Share Posted July 28 They must be real desperate if they're already hitting the "In case of bomb, get RDJ" button. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grey ghost Posted July 28 Share Posted July 28 It's like calling the Cleveland Cavaliers bringing back LeBron as desperate. It's not desperate, it's smart. You go from zero anticipation for Avengers 5 and 6 to going back to 2 billion dollar predictions overnight. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IF the Russo's pull off a successful execution, the movie will be huge. As it is the next 2 Avengers have got a huge shot in the arm due to this news whereas earlier the passion was dwindling. This news and the success of Deadpool & Wolverine will tremendously help the next Avengers movie. The goal for these movies is to make money and make fans happy. That’s all that really matters. I don’t love the casting either but I’ll be there on preview night so who cares lol. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OncomingStorm93 Posted July 28 Share Posted July 28 RDJ was always going to be back. ALWAYS You're kidding yourself if you thought otherwise. 7 years later, and as one of the most iconic villains in all of comics (they are saying he’s playing Victor, not a Tony), instead of rehashing his character (though I’m sure we’ll get some Tony too) is the most ingenious way of going about it. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
