Wow, Marvel really destroyed the MCU in record time

Are they turning Iron Man into Dr. Doom or just bringing Robert Downey Jr. to play Dr. Doom?

Having actors play good or bad guys and then have them return to do the opposite with a new character in the same franchise doesn't work. At least if they turned Iron Man into Dr. Doom somehow there would be a back story attached and people would be able to accept it easier.

Well, I read today that Kevin Feige has shot down rumours that this Doctor Doom is a Stark variant, so I guess that means it's the latter. In which case I guess they'll make him unrecognisable somehow, but I don't know what the point of that is.

There’s a Marvel Comic Where Doctor Doom and Iron Man Switch Bodies

Doctor Doom and Iron Man's comic history could have inspired the Earth-shaking casting of Robert Downey Jr. for 'Avengers: Doomsday.'

Reactions to Downey's MCU return have been mixed, especially with how he closed the book on his previous MCU tenure as Iron Man, but what many people don't know is that Iron Man and Doctor Doom share a history throughout Marvel Comics. One issue even takes place on a world where the two switch bodies, and shows how differently their lives would have turned out — potentially hinting at the direction Downey could be taking as Doom.

But then that's a Stark variant that switches bodies with a pre-existing Doctor Doom, either from his universe or an established version of the character in the MCU, that makes it even more convoluted. I don't think that's the angle they're going to go.

That's such a nonsense take. It's not self sabotage, it's just financially conservative. They know Downey has star power, they know he will commit to the roll and they know the audience will be curious to see how he portrayed Dr Doom.

Jonathan Majors screwed the Kang story arc, nobody else. If he didn't act like he did in that video, non of this would be happening. Pretentious actors always screw up their career potential.

I'm sure they meant that Majors sabotaged himself out a major role. Not that Marvel self sabotaged themselves
 
One thing that needs to go is the endless multiverse ****. Only movie that actually made it kind of work was Dead Pool.

Yep, and the after effect is poor quality movies.

Disagree. The Infinity Saga (culminating with Endgame) was excellent, but it has reached a point of burnout after that.

Still a few good series and films post Endgame; Loki, Spider-Man, GoTG 3 come to mind, but it just feels like too much content now. And too much interconnected content, so you have to watch everything to keep up to date.
