Robert Downey Jr. He gave an extensive interview to The Hollywood Reporter, putting an end to speculation once and for all and officially confirming who will play him in the film. Avengers: Judgment DaySince July’s Comic-Con in San Diego, we’ve known that the actor will be playing Doctor Doom. Following the announcement, some Marvel fans have speculated that in the MCU, the House of Ideas’ iconic villain will eventually become a different version of Tony Stark, which could explain the visual similarities between the antagonist and Iron Man.
In the aforementioned interview, Downey Jr. said. However, he is speaking directly about the character of Victor Von Doom, and also explains that Marvel Studios President, Kevin the shapeThe actor did not want to return to the role of Tony Stark. Referring to the question of his future involvement in the MCU and as part of the Stark Flight Lab attraction presented at Disneyland, this year’s Oscar winner said:
It was about a year ago… Kevin Feige and I were in touch. We’re buddies. FavreauFiji and I. I’m also close with the Russo brothers. We also collaborate on other things. So we have this little group of traveling buddies. I had the idea of going to Bob Iger[Disney director – author’s note]and pitching him the idea of my involvement outside of the movie world – it was about how to serve in the theme parks and in this industry.
Susan[the actor’s wife – author’s note]and I sat down with Kevin one time and he said, “I keep thinking about the idea that if you came back…” And Susan interrupted, “Wait… he came back as who?” And that was another moment where any doubts about this guy[Feige – author’s note]who is such a creative and sophisticated thinker, disappeared. It was also the end of any doubts about whether we could ever go back in our careers, about whether we would disappoint someone’s expectations – it was more about exceeding those expectations. And then Kevin mentioned Victor Von Doom. I checked out this character and I thought, “Wow!” Feige repeated twice, “Let’s do Victor Von Doom right.”
There are also voices online that Marvel Studios won’t necessarily point out the visual similarity between Tony Stark and Doctor Doom on screen – as was the case with Steve Rogers and Johnny Storm in the film. Deadpool and Wolverine.
