Something huge happened at the 2024 Comic-Con and Marvel brought back the Russo brothers to direct the next two Avengers movies and also announced that Robert Downy Jr is returning to the MCU but this time as Doctor Doom.
I myself have mixed feelings about this but I’ve seen a bunch of videos on youtube and so many comments that are calling this an ‘Disparate’ move and saying that it’s only a ‘Nostalgia bait’. Now to be clear like I said I’m not sure what I feel about this exactly but I’m sure of one thing: It’s too early to jump to conclusions. They might be right and this very well may be out of desperation and Marvel is just trying to stay relevant after the release of Deadpool & Wolverine and to keep their fans hyped; OR, they may have a brilliant plan for RDJ’s Dr.Doom and restore their damaged reputation with the next few projects. All I’m saying is that We won’t know for sure which one it is before the movies are actually out.
To be honest I still think that Cillian Murphy would make a grate Dr.Doom and this is kind of a missed opportunity, but it appears that this version of Dr.Doom that we’re going to see in the MCU is a variant of Tony Stark so again, this may be a very well thought through storyline that will bring back Marvel to life and put an end to this phase of ‘Superhero Fatigue’ at least for the next few years.
