I don't think this is a case of reusing an actor for the sake of it. I think it's more a case of the Russo's vision for Doctor Doom being an evil Stark variant.

Galan rode Mads' dick first on KMC. You're late to the party, Rob.
But yeah, I agree, Mads as Victor would be pure win.

But Doom should be handed better since he's a great villain.
Will be handled better than the last 3 movies is my point.
Anyway seems like RDJ and Russos are getting paid stupid money for these next two Avenger films. Not sure their price tag is worth it tbh.
Even with Russos, I feel like they should get fresh directors in.
At this point, who's even in The Avengers to fight Doom?
A million characters no one gives a shît about at this point because almost all of their movies and tv shows have been utter dogshit.
How would you even tie in The Marvels, The Eternals, Shang Chi, Dr Strange and Charlize Theron's character, Thor and his new adopted daughter, GotG, She Hulk, Falcon and Bucky, Loki and all the other characters still to come. Or are most of them just getting abandoned now thanks to wife beater Majors?

Dunno. Think theyd prefer him back as TS/IM tbh. (Im guessing even as a TS variant he will be playing Doom very differently).
For what its worth im seeing memes going around absolutely ripping this news (and not from comic book nerds)

Anyway, I'm hoping he uses magic. Even if he is a Stark variant (and let's be real, he will be) he better use magic.
That happened a lot later in comics. He had no magic during Secret Wars.
That said wouldnt be difficult to add that in with the way the MCU has built up magic. And would make him a much greater threat in a direct fight. Could make him too much for the FF to deal with though.

You're not wrong. The bigger issue was never the villain, but that the new heroes just aren't compelling and their stories are generally awful.

I don't know or really care if he didn't have magic back then. Doom has been a sorcerer for decades now. He's been a sorcerer for longer than I've been alive (since at least 1989 and potentially earlier). The fusion of magic and tech is a large part of what makes him a compelling character and really helps differentiate him from all the other super geniuses.

Depends on which Secret Wars story that they're adapting or using for the film.
While I never read it, I've only heard poor things about the original. By contrast, I thought the new one was very good. Hopefully they take more inspiration from that.

Rumor is they're going to throw everyone into these next two Avengers films.
