Love Drought Posted July 28 Share Posted July 28 22 minutes ago, Gorjesspazze9 said: Yes it is. It's literally every actors journey in Hollywood to have a 2nd chance at a role they missed out on. Also Tony stark is literally the main character of the MCU, and we are in the Multiverse saga. 🤦♀️ like this is 100% inevitable. Plus he is coming back as Ironman too… as this is a variant. That's what makes it incomparable. Downey Jnr lost out on a role (I don't think he was ever officially cast as Doctor Doom) and was able to lead a huge franchise whereas Ryan Reynolds played a terrible version of the same character in a panned film and subsequently got a second chance to do the character justice. It's very obvious it's a variant but his casting screams fan service and it's clearly working judging by the reactions. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doctor doom has 2 panned incarnations and now RDJ is giving justice to a role he was cast in, but didn't get to play. Ryan didn't get to play the version of Deadpool he wanted, but what the studio wanted. So he made a fake audition and leaked it on the internet to get crowd funding for the film. They both are similar, as now RDJ has the power and influence to play a superhero character that started his venture into comicbook movies.

Like I said, I don't think he was ever casted and from what I remember he was only in talks at the time but I digress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark Phoenix Posted July 28 Share Posted July 28 1 hour ago, Walk_Away21 said: IJBOL. This is giving Katy running back to Dr. Luke. @Reverse Warholian This, and this is after RDJ was shading and saying that being in the MCU so long affected his acting skills (when he was campaigning for Oppy). This is so silly and desperate and then add that Feige brought the Russos back thinking they will make A5-6 a $2B fests but in the reality it was the endgame thing not their directing skills. When Thunderbolts and F4 flops for the third time then what? They will move on from Doom? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hephaestus Posted July 28 Share Posted July 28 Not gonna lie it sounds like lazy casting and fan baiting, but I did gag when they revealed Robert Downey Jr. as Doom. I guess we'll see how it turns out. Happy they kept Secret Wars as the final movie of this saga! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny Jacobs Posted July 28 Share Posted July 28 (edited) WHY. Just give the role to someone fresh. I'm sorry but it's not giving. I am not into recycling actors. Hopefully at least the script will be good. I just know that now the budget will increase alot to afford their salaries.

Marianah Adkins Posted July 28 Share Posted July 28 I'm only perched bec Xmen deserves better treatment But lmao MCU feels so…..uninspired lately. And I say this as someone who watched every movie from Iron Man to Endgame. It wouldve been better for MCU's already questionable legacy if they capped at it Endgame but what do I know, capitalism slay I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GraceRandolph Posted July 28 Share Posted July 28 7 hours ago, Broken said: Deadpool and Wolverine are not original MCU characters but were retroactively added. They are Fox X-Men characters. Just because the MCU can survive by utilizing other properties doesn't mean much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
