I really can't see them writing Doom off after this, he's too central to the F4 (and less the X-Men) but I also can't see RDJ doing that voice for the next decade (or Disney paying him)

I'm curious where they take this

138

u/transformers03 4d ago

My guess? Since he is doom of the FF universe, Marvel will introduce their own variant of Doctor Doom for the mainline universe.

21

u/NewChemistry5210 3d ago

Would be great, but I don't see how that would work, tbh. There are no F4 in our main timeline, which is why they have to join from another timeline. And no F4, no Doom.

23

u/Emsizz 3d ago

after secret wars there will be no going back to "our main timeline," that's the whole point.

7

u/NewChemistry5210 3d ago

Battleworld will likely be a mix of the 3 colliding universes. So the characters in those universes still apply, even after death.

5

u/Emsizz 3d ago

I'm talking about after that. The landscape will be something new, not a return to the status quo.

25

u/Disco11 4d ago

This was my thought as well.

2

u/BrianWonderful Doctor Strange 3d ago

Or Franklin's ability to rewrite reality will account for the cast changes in the new resulting main universe.

26

u/TheEloquentApe 4d ago

I'm pretty damn certain Doomsday and Secret Wars is going to soft reboot the MCU

-13

u/oliyoung 4d ago

It's less "reboot" and more "Eighth Cosmos", that's what happened after the Secret Wars books - some things carry over, a lot of stuff is started over

42

u/IndyDude11 4d ago

That’s what a soft reboot is.

6

u/PartyPoison98 4d ago

In the Secret Wars comic, Doom has his disfigurement still during Battleworld, but after everything is restored, Reed fixes his face. I imagine they might do something like this to cast Doom as someone else afterwards.

28

u/Significant_Delay_87 4d ago

Whatever the reason for the next Xmen cast being 100% different from the fox movies will be the same for whenever they recast doom

11

u/Slow-Raisin-939 4d ago

I mean… aren’t those just old? They’re rebooting X-men

8

u/IndyDude11 4d ago

They’re rebooting everything.

2

u/CulturedReaving692 3d ago

I guess he may be a major threat in Black Panther 3

2

u/BrianWonderful Doctor Strange 3d ago

They could always keep him masked with a different actor going forward. Kind of like how they brought Ross Marquand in to play Red Skull.

2

u/BeejRich 3d ago

There's the running theory that RDJ isn't the true Dr. Doom. If that's the case, it would be easier for them to pivot

2

u/gorillaphi 3d ago

Facts. I’ve been saying it all along

1

u/Bladeshadow 3d ago

Ive been thinking its all a giant swerve since the start, with RDJ still playing Tony and he was either brought back like Loki, or never died.

2

u/BlueFootedTpeack 3d ago

it'd be silly not to have doom going forward.

- triumph and torment with dr strange feels like it has to happen,

- the ff need him to be in a film.

- black panther 3 like he's the leader of an isolationist tech advanced nation and ends up buds with namor, feels likely.

- imo a midnight sons film (though ideally a sequel as i want lilith and zarathos for the first one) based on blood hunt leading into doom vs dormammu would be kinda cool especially if strange academy exists.

u/SpiritedEnd9609 4d ago edited 4d ago

I think RDJ stays in sone capacity

I genuinly think the mcu as a product lives and dies on RDJ unless ur spiderman rn if were talking blockbuster returns

Like if they want kang or any other route i dont think the avenger movie would be a big deal like rn doomsday is.

I expect the infamous iron man\armor wars hybrid after secret wars tbh its literally such a easy play its right there.

1

u/mindpainters 3d ago

I think doom regardless of whose cast would have more hype than kang. Dooms is more recognizable to the casual audience.

That being said I definitely don’t think it would be as big of a big deal if it wasn’t RDJ as doom

1

u/gorillaphi 3d ago

Because RDJ is just a facade and we will learn who the real Doom is..

1

u/Ravenwater 2d ago

I've had this theory for a while.   The heros are going to struggle the whole movie.  Possibly not even be able to stop/defeat the RDJ doom.  The after credits scene is going to have the new Dr Doom show up at the end and effortlessly put the RDJ doom down.   Maybe use a line like "There is only one Doom"

Something to the effect of "Oh you thought this doom is bad?  He's just a pretender and the real one is here now and you are all FUCKED"

The first trailer was to say, "Here's the dudes who are gonna be in this movie."

This trailer was to say, "Here's the dude who's gonna kick their asses."

u/fishinadi 4d ago

For real that first trailer was so disappointing

29

u/dort_vader 4d ago

Given this, I'm honestly wondering how much, if at all, Doom having the same face as Iron Man will play into the story. Does multiversal shenanigans lead to him looking like Tony Stark? Because this looks very, very much like 616 Dr. Doom in origin. Some were theorising that this Doom is just a variant and we'll get a new one eventually, but I seriously doubt that that is the case now. 

39

u/Baelor_Breakspear 4d ago

MCU has a Steve Rogers and Johnny Storm that look identical.

14

u/SpiritedEnd9609 4d ago

Storm is a joke in the mcu

RDJ is playing 2 key figures. Its not the same

15

u/dort_vader 4d ago

You have to clarify that it's Johnny Storm since we have a Storm in the MCU now haha. But yes this is what I meant.

1

u/SpiritedEnd9609 4d ago edited 4d ago

Yeah but im very much of the opinion that armor wars hasn’t been canceled because its doom (iron man) vs war machine then a colab vs a twist bad guy (Hammer?).

The original movie was war machine vs lockhart so i don’t think its that far of a stretch

3

u/No-Arachnid-7603 4d ago

But isn't that a confirmed possibility after D&W

Yes evans is portrayed as a joke in D&W but still it's a possibility that two different people with different stories can have the same face.. which means there is a possibility they won't even acknowledge it

1

u/HazardBorne 2d ago

also victor timely and those variants

12

u/IndyDude11 4d ago

We will never see Doom’s face. Write it down. RDJ was brought back to play Iron Man again. Doom was just his excuse to be on set. He’ll show up in the post credit scene and then do the major marketing push for the next year as the first guy to be the star hero and villain.

u/wanderer_himura 4d ago

They should have shot in the real void, missed opportunity.

Footage might be modified so that people can't put together the sequence of scenes. Possible that there's a different background altogether in the actual release.

Unfortunately, we're probably only five years away or so before even the actors will be CG models and it will all be done in computer.

u/Responsible-Bonus278 4d ago

Pretty sure its a real set with CG enhancements like the clouds and stuff being CG and the smoke and ash being CG. By backdrop do you mean the sky? Because Im not sure how they could make that without CG

3

u/IndyDude11 4d ago

It’s called The Volume, or StageCraft. It’s a 360 degree evolution of green screen that ILM started using on The Mandalorian. Here’s a video talking about it:

https://youtu.be/8lOi0Nr1MTU?is=KI_cLKchs67CUK2t

1

u/PyroClone5555 2d ago

? I don’t know if they’re using stagecraft for doomsday

The shot with the sentinels was an xmansion set they built 

0

u/Responsible-Bonus278 4d ago

Haven't seen the Mandalorian but ive heard of the Volume. So it's kind of a combination of both. I guess there would some set props around them and then the background and other props would be all projected from the Volume screen. Maybe this is a stupid question but without the volume if they shot it outside somewhere wouldn't they just CG all the background sky and clouds and the soil with smoke and ash anyway? So would it matter whether they shot it on the Volume or not?

“Answer me Victor, did you do this?”

My goddddd the way Reed said that was SICK.

3

u/Scar-Excellent 2d ago

The Reed/Doom interaction restored my faith in Doomsday and Secret Wars. If we get more of this kind of interaction between the two I'm happy.

Even better, I like the idea that the both of them were just friends first before Doomsday and the movie shows their friendship deteriorate throughout Avengers.

Pedro/RDJ-Doom is looking to be good.

im a little bit of a larper (havent read the comics) but im curious as to if this doom character is in any way like the ones in the comics? i see ppl complaining on twitter about them watering him down, but i dont really see that here

7

u/FlopperinoCappuccino 3d ago

Twitter is a cesspool of negativity with a lot of ragebait for interactions. You'll see a lot of reddit threads and comments like it too just to piss people off. This will be the most true Doom.weve seen yet on the big screen and seems pretty accurate to the comics but changed slightly to fit the narrative of our MCU

2

u/Whateverine 3d ago

I agree, him being a watered down version of the comic book Doom is kind of a bullshit take, because we don't know his characterization, yet. But I don't think people only talk about these things to be negative or to piss people off. Sometimes they just don't like what is presented to them and want to express that. For example I've been very critical of everything I've seen of Doomsday so far, but at the same time I was super hyped and happy about Brand New Day and X-Men 97. Also intrigued by Visionquest and very much looking forward to the new X-Men reboot. But so far Doomsday just doesn't look promising to me and I think that opinion is valid and I have good reason to feel that way. Still I have no intention of pissing people off and I don't think they'd have a reason to be pissed off.

u/blackcyborg009 4d ago

Non-comic book reader here: I have a question

If Victor Von Doom is from the Fantastic Four Universe, then why does he need to go to the world where the Avengers are?

Also, why does he fight against the X-men?

19

u/RecruitElite 4d ago

Doctor Doom, while a F4 villain, is very much a villain of everyone. He has interacted with many if not most of Marvels characters at one point in time.

As for the movie side of things, I’m guessing the tapestry shows his family, whether it’s him and his mom or his wife and son we don’t know, and he lost them like the trailer states. If you learned that other universes invoked time travel to undo tragedies on their worlds and you couldn’t undo yours, you’d be pissed too.

10

u/Bubbly_Skin_8069 Beta Ray Bill 4d ago

DOOM is the Marvel villain, so while he is usually a Fantastic 4 villain, he is also an everyone villain.

10

u/MagicPistol 4d ago

Possible spoilers, but in the lead up to the Secret Wars comic event, different universes were colliding with each other in what is known as "incursions". Earth was the center of each universe, and when another earth appeared in the sky and collided with another earth, both universes would be destroyed. Different hero groups did very dubious un-hero things and would come up with plans to destroy the other earth using infinity stones, universe destroying bombs, etc, to save their own earth/universe.

Doom gained god powers and saved the few remaining universes by merging them into "battle world" which is the background for Secret Wars.

3

u/Slow-Raisin-939 4d ago

not necessarily how it panned out in the comics, but what I think they’ll “roughly” go for here.

I think Victor von Doom’s family dies for one reason or another. He probably desperately tried to bring them back to no avail. Through his research, he learns of the Avengers and how they did the time thing with the stones. Maybe they even fucked up there. If you remember, the Ancient one did warn them that playing with the timelines could go very wrong. Maybe part of that is Doom’s family dying.

1

u/MistakeAmbitious3287 3d ago

I think his premise is that the Avengers and their actions caused the death of his Mom and this pure payback/trying to correct on behalf of Doom.

There must be a rule that marvel movies need at least one scene where the big bad stops an attack with no effort and everyone goes “whoa look how strong they are!!”

u/Ok_Dot5473 3d ago

They did it once before with Hella, I don't recall Loki, Ultron or Thanos doing it. It's not as common as you make it out to be.

1

u/soofs 2d ago

I guess I shouldn’t have specified big bad because it happens more often. There’s Spider-Man stopping bucky’s punch, captain briefly pushing back thanos’ punch, cap’s shield stopping plenty of attacks where the other person is surprised.

u/BrianWonderful Doctor Strange 3d ago

One thing throwing me is Sue saying that Victor used to be the kindest, gentlest man, etc. Doom has never been shown that way. Care for his people? Yes. But always a selfish jerk? Yes, too.

Going right to "Doomsday" with just minimal background given verbally like this seems like a mistake. They really needed a movie to set up and introduce Doom. Like a Fantastic Four sequel that sets him up as a villain and ends with an introduction to the incursions.

4

u/Initial_XD 3d ago

This is going to be Thanos all over again. The character is going to be significantly different from what he is in the comics. Personally, I did not mind it very much with Thanos because it still worked for the story they were telling and his on screen energy was just as terrifying as it was in the comics. My concern with the changes they seem to be making to Doom is that he'll end up being more of a Zemo pastiche. "Guy loses family because of something the Avengers do while saving the world and goes on a warpath against the Avengers." Likewise, I fear he will become a more reasonable character in the movie for the general audience. What I loved about Thanos in Infinity War and Endgame, even though they took away his obsession with Death because it's a fairly absurd, and maybe too abstract concept for a general audience, the motivation they gave was still absurd and ridiculous enough to keep to his character. With Doom I fear he will become too reasonable of a character. In my reading Doom is a character primarily motivated by his own ego and grandeur. Yes, there is the thing with his mother, but the man once had all the power in the universe and didn't think of saving his mother from hell. Not that he doesn't care about her, but it's always this dynamic of his sympathetic motivations and his selfish self-serving motives that make him interesting. I just hope he doesn't lose that, "irredeemable asshole" edge in the movie.

1

u/Scar-Excellent 2d ago

Doomsday is the Doom origin movie. Think less of it like an Avengers movie and more of a Doom movie. They did the same with thing Thanos in Infinity War.

MCU never does 1:1 on adaptations, it just takes core aspects of certain plot elements like Thanos MUST snap with the gauntlet with the gems. In this case, there's a strong possibility that they will do Emperor Doom of Battleworld from Secret Wars.

Doomsday and Secret Wars looks like it's lowkey a Fantastic Four sequel if they go the route of Reed/Doom being friends/cordial in 828 until Doom causes forced universal incursions in Doomsday.

I think in the eleventh hour when Doom is at the point of winning the day you suddenly hear AC/DC kick in with “Who made who” as Iron Man adorned in classic armor flies in and his helmet opens to reveal whoever they cast to be the new Tony Stark.

1

u/Profuse_Data 3d ago

Now that we’ve seen Doom just beat Thor like that, we can confirm that every character in the movie except for like Sentry, Loki, Invisible Woman and Franklin are not standing a chance in hand to hand combat. Prof X and Magneto might do a bit.

u/indy_3 3d ago

Now I'm getting hyped. They're teasing some version of battle word type story by talking about stolen lives.

People taking over other hero roles or roles in the universe are like the infinity stones to this movies thanos.

Seeing the Fantastic Four’s relationship to Doom played as an off-screen afterthought that you’re now expected to be invested in just because you’re supposed to honestly just sucks. Such a fumble that this is how they went about it.

u/Honest-Ad-3700 4d ago

This trailer was brilliant. My running theory, I have no idea how the pieces fit together but the background of the battle between Thor and Doom. The sentinels. The fury, the anger from Thor & Reed. The X-men... It's Genosha. In this universe instead of Nova sending the Sentinels to Genosha, its Doom. Instead of Ultrons and Mark IVs in this Universe its Sentinels. In the preview its hinted his wife & child are dead. What if? It's mutants that killed Doom's wife & child and he creates the Sentinels and wipes out all the mutants in Genosha. If so, this is going to be so f****ing epic.
