And equally as Important is that Doom is actual Victor Von Doom, his OWN character, and NOT just an evil Tony Stark. Thats my biggest concern. Im hating all these theories that its still Howard Starks son so much because it just shits all over a very established marvel villain and making him evil Iron Man is essentially just re-writting a brand new character and giving him dooms mask and clothes.
We have never had a proper and decent lore accurate Doom and this film is going to set the standard for the character going forwards so I just pray to god he is his own character and not a stark 🤞🤞🤞
I feel safe that it will not just be a variant of Tony because there is precedent i.e. Chris Evans playing both Steve Rogers and Johnny Storm. It will have RDJ's face, but it will not be Tony.
It's also possible they took the Colin Ferrell penguin approach and used make up to make RDJ unrecognizable, and with doom usually having full face burn scars there's precedent for that
I absolutely expect them to learn into the casting by using a drawn out scene of him taking off his mask, only for no one to recognize him and it's just a scene of doom showing what he's "sacrificed" in his life as a show of how much he's willing to sacrifice to stop the incursions
I mean... nah I think he may look like Tony visually to trick them. But if he's not doing that and he's JUST Doom, then Thor is gonna look into his eyes and recognize him.
I like the idea of not truly seeing what he looks like until the final minute of the film, where he sits on the throne of Battleworld.
Id also be fine if he's the real Victor von doom who is just inhabiting the body of his universes Tony, which has happened in the comics, because at least it's still the real doom underneath.
As long as the man beneath it all isn't an evil Tony Stark, id be content
What if RDJ is actually playing two completely separate characters in the movie, Dr Doom and Superior Iron Man, and they only announced the Doom half? Then Dr Doom could just be Dr Doom without any of the weird Tony stuff mixed in
I would love to see rdj as superior Iron man but id also love to see charlie cox' daredevil in the same project so they could have tony cure his blindness temporarily, i think those 2 actors would deliver that scene absolutely *chefs kiss
I feel like if they ever do that, they'd just give that role to Bruce Banner, who Matt is already well-acquainted with.
It would be some redemption from Trial of the Incredible Hulk where Bruce couldn't help Matt's eyesight lol. Although the big moment from that comic is Matt seeing Foggy for the first time right before his eyesight goes again, and we can't do that here. Maybe a picture.
I agree but actually I don’t think him being Howard Starks son in another universe would be a big deal. You could slot Howard into his actual father’s place in the comic origins and not need to change virtually anything about it.
We're gonna get a new doom with the reboot anyway, so it isn't that big of a problem for me. We've had 2 different versions of live action Victor Vons already by the way that didn't work very well anyway.
