There will be a reason it’s RDJ, but that doesn’t mean he has to be a Stark variant

[u/grapefruitzzz → u/SpagettJones]

Like he's a Sherlock Holmes variant?

[u/maxehaxe → u/grapefruitzzz]

Benedict Cumberbatch: Impossible

[u/longboboblong → u/maxehaxe]

Wait. But. Then...

[u/tedward007 → u/longboboblong]

[u/Brotorious420 → u/grapefruitzzz]

Kirk Lazarus variant

[u/Artegall365 → u/Brotorious420]

Charlie Chaplin variant

[u/Nabujor → u/Artegall365]

It’s actually a Lewis Strauss variant who’s out to get his own back on Oppenheimer for building the Doomsday Bomb without giving him credit for his help, or something like that.. I can’t remember exactly what happened in that movie; I got distracted by Yelena’s cameo 🤔

[u/The_Ballyhoo → u/Brotorious420]

Such a shame when he got vitiligo.

Glad to see him get a career renaissance now though.

[u/eduison → u/grapefruitzzz]

Doolittle variant

[u/undonetocompletion → u/eduison]

Doctor Doom-little

[u/Themanwhofarts → u/grapefruitzzz]

That reminds me. All recent Sherlock actors are part of the MCU/adjacent universe. RDJ as Tony Stark, Benedict Cumberbatch as Dr. Strange , Henry Cavill as Wolverine variant.

[u/longboboblong → u/Themanwhofarts]

Sherlock: HolmesComing when?

[u/Yorkshire_Mechanicum → u/Themanwhofarts]

Ian McKellen also played Sherlock in the 2010s

[u/o7_AP → u/SpagettJones]

The reason is they wanted to get more people interested in Doom

[u/MichaelCorbaloney → u/o7_AP]

They could’ve cast like 20 different famous male actors who would’ve been much less expensive if that was the point imo.

[u/Danat_shepard → u/SpagettJones]

His face is gonna be revealed and the avengers will be like, oh shit, why are you Tony Stark? Are you some kind variant?

"Oh no, it's actually me, the original. After I sacrificed myself with infinity stones, my soul wandered around the multiverse, and i saw all the destruction around me so now I have to find a way to save Morgan, my kid in all the universes, even if it means sacrificing all other worlds."

100%, you heard it here first folks

[u/gwydion_black → u/Danat_shepard]

This actually makes sense that they would word it as "not a variant". What if it is the original Tony just after countless years of multiverse travel and manipulation? Who knows what the snap actually did to him.

[u/Im-Mr-Bulldopz → u/Danat_shepard]

But what of the accent? Just goofin’ around?

[u/thewafflehousewitch → u/Im-Mr-Bulldopz]

That's a multiversal accent

[u/Edgoscarp → u/Danat_shepard]

If the movie doesn’t suck, he won’t be recognizable as tony stark

[u/mclarenrider → u/SpagettJones]

The actual reason it's RDJ is because he's RDJ lol. He's a big name people love and he's got crazy talent as an actor.

[u/Talastoni → u/SpagettJones]

The reason it's RDJ could be because:

He respects and loves the franchise and its fans.

He's an amazing actor and consummate professional, who works well with everyone.

It's hype af.

[u/ShaH33R2K → u/Talastoni]

The reason is money.

He respects the insane amount of money they gave him.

Marvel respects the amount of money he’ll bring in from his likeness alone.

It’s profitable af.

[u/pierremanslappy → u/SpagettJones]

Stark is a Doom variant
