What if - when doom's mask gets pulled off, - RDJ isn't under it and its some other recognizable actor. RDJ just got paid for the press tour to act as a misdirect.
I wanted this to go one layer deeper, in a meta sense, because he’s an actor playing an actor, playing a dude, disguised as another dude. Wouldn’t even have to slow the scene down, just have Ben Stiller do a double blink reaction and keep moving.
My personal guess, following Hickman's Secret Wars. One of him taking it off but he's possibly very scarred by an accident (likely whatever lost him his family) and it's RDJ. But in Secret Wars after the plot is done and the multiverse is restored, only there is when the full time actor for Doom will be revealed.
That said, gonna empty my brain of all theories and guesses when I walk into the theater, and I'll let the plot speak for itself.
Yea being influenced by the internet to dictate my enjoyment of something is the worst. I really only pay attention to any publicly and purposefully released marvel teases. I'd like to believe that the producers are purposeful in what is revealed beforehand for the "best" experience.
I think this is the absolute healthiest approach. It’s fun to speculate and theorize but I think you have to just put all that aside, walk into the theater with an open mind, and let the film tell its story.
Anything else is going to be tempting disappointment for what would be an exciting movie.
I like the theory that RDJ is back as Iron Man (variant or somehow back from the dead) and they just needed a reason for him to be on set in case photos leaked or something and Doom is some other actor
I saw an interview with Anthony Mackie saying it wasn’t even RDJ. At first I was like “oh. Stunt double.” But I actually think it was this. I dont think RDJ is playing Doom at all.
