RDJ will be Doctor Victor Von Doom!

So the rumors were true. I'm not at all a fan. It seems very likely he's going to be some evil variant of Iron Man rather than a proper Doom.

Wouldn't surprise me if its just a Dr Doom variant and the real one appears later on.

Sounds like massive cope. It seems that RDoomJ will be the be the main villain of an Avengers film. Maybe we'll get a "proper" Doom years later, but he'll always be in the shadow of the first.

Meh.

Kinda makes sense. The Iron Legion in Multiverse of Madness could basically be Doombots.

At least this way Doom wont be blowing heads up with his mind. And the focus of his threat will be on his genius.

Also this would have been a much better reveal at the end of the FF film. Have his mask on for the film. Then Have Doom take his mask off in a post credit scene. But whatever.

Hope to god this doesn't turn out to be a Stark variant that just went rogue and started calling himself "Doctor Doom" for the lulz -- Doom should be his own independent character, imo.

Although If Chris Evans can be Captain America and Human Torch within the canon MCU, then I suppose it sets a precedent that RDJ can be Stark and Doom as well.

Hang on, wasn't Kang originally a Stark variant or a future version or something, could they have not replaced the Johnathon Majors Kang with RDJ and gave Doom to someone that could actually make him awesome?

I'm thinking a Stark Variant. But his name was always Victor Von Doom.

Don’t know about in the MCU, but in the comics Kang was a far off descendant of either Reed Richards or Nathaniel Richard I don’t remember which. As far as I know he has to relationship with Stark.

rdj cold be the real Doom or a variant as I've heard rumors for both,,,

STFU with your flaming. Either contribute or GTFO.

Yeah hoping it's not Tony variant.

I actually would’ve liked to have seen Giancarlo Esposito in the role. RDJ should’ve been a shock ending. It’s a little disappointing because now it’s going to be ‘hey look Iron man is Doctor Doom’ and it’s like no Doom is his own character.

Esposito is playing a z-lister in Cap 4 😄

This will definitely tie into Fantastic Four: First Steps.

All I can think of is Infamous Iron Man.

Fanboys are flipping shit because RDJ isn’t Romani.

If they wanted to reuse an actor for Doom, then Mads Mikkelsen would have been a better choice. What a shame.

I really hope RDJ isn't reprising his Stark role in any form with this and we never see Doom's face. I'm fine with RDJ playing Doom as a proper Victor Von Doom.

this should be 3 hours of fun
