Personally don’t want to see him cast as doom. There is a multiverse if they can replace Logan/ wolverine in deadpool the same can be done for iron man there are plenty of possibilities y’all just gotta open your minds a little more
This is clickable it would seem. He will be back as Dr doom just not in the animated series. I’ll take RDJ in any way I can get him in the MCU. He is funny a wonderful actor and full of expression and life
Yes, he played Ultron and his voice is iconic. James Spader is an amazing actor and plays a cunning, likable villain, but I think he should sit on his MCU alter as Ultron only.
It is a shame they can’t cast a Romani actor, and the MCU continues to erase Romani characters. I understand that not all comic adaptations have Victor Van Doom as Romani; however, that was a pivotal part of his story arc in many comic adaptations. He isn’t a stereotype and injustice pushing him over the edge. That is a powerful story that could be used to uplift people instead of continually erasing this minority ethnicity.
People are sick of identity politics. I mean we just had an election landslide, in part, because of it. They are ACTORS! The best person should get the job, not changing a character to fill a diversity quota.
There aren’t any well known or talked about Romani actors. Doctor Doom is supposed to be a big deal. You want an actor who can bring gravitas and pathos to the role… not to mention name recognition. Why haven’t they got a Romani actor to play Dracula?
Totally agree with you, bub.who’s idea was it to use RDJ? And for the love of God, why?
Why not use an up and coming actor. These sheep commenting saying this is a good idea. You people are responsible for the crappy cash grab comic book movies. I don’t understand why they have to hack up story lines and take pieces from other stories and combine them. There is a reason why the untouched original story lines have remained so popular. But the studios see that there are sheep like aforementioned commenter’s that will go pay to see crap, and they will keep doing so. If anyone thinks the idea of RDJ playing Doom I’m the same universe that he was played another character. I hope all of you go blind. I hope a dog bites you tomorrow, I hope one of your relatives wins the lottery and gives everyone money except you.
Man, you’re a sicko! Wishing ill or misfortune upon people based upon their opinion of a casting decision is the lunacy. Maybe get out of your basement once and a while to ground yourself in reality…or for therapy.
“Wishing ill or misfortune upon people based upon their opinion of a casting decision is the lunacy.”
Have you ever thought the comment of “If anyone thinks the idea of RDJ playing Doom I’m the same universe that he was played another character. I hope all of you go blind. I hope a dog bites you tomorrow, I hope one of your relatives wins the lottery and gives everyone money except you.” is based on feeling rejected by RDJ?
Perhaps that commenter was embarrassed in crying at the end of End Game; and is scared that they might cry again, after seeing RDJ. And it might not be directly Marvel that the commenter is afraid of seeing RDJ in. RDJ has done other amazing films.
Or…it’s even possible that the commenter went to a comic con that RDJ was a guest of; but couldn’t get the autograph/photo/or missed the opportunity to ask a question at the mic. Any one of those could have given the commenter resentment misplaced towards RDJ.
I agree that therapy (whether professional or simply just talking it over with others) could do the commenter some good.
Mass is a good call, but James Spader already played a perfect and icon Ultron. Spader’s voice is one that you don’t forget. I think he should sit on his MCU altar as Ultron only.
It never say well with me having Robert Downey Jr playing a different character when he’s been iron Man for idk how many years. Anybody else would be better.
I don’t know who can replace RDJ, this looks bad because you had all the fanfare with RDJ, i would like to know why? Is he having a different role, is it money, Script what? I am personally bummed, I need to see some life in the MCU movies. First Blade now this! SMH
That’s the part that confused me. It sounded like RDJ was being replaced in regards to the character altogether. I hope you’re correct…that he’s still going to portray Doom in the live action.
i didnt quiet realized ! is dawney jr is doom or not ! if he is not ! that is really wise and smart decision ! in my idea ! julian mcmohan should once again be cast as dr doom ! when you look at the guy he see doom himself ! doom might and fearsome and bad assness ! really if they did changed rober dawney jr as doom to someone esle ! that really good thinking ! they can pick also me as doom ! cause i do as i choose and i answer to no one ! so turn and run now and i mercifully pretend this never happend

If they replace RDJ over something petty like race I’m probably going to pass on watching and part ways with marvel over there virtue signal ideology content they seem be releasing these days. I’ve been a die hard of Marvel since I was 4 years old. Lou Ferignos Hull was my Idol and Spiderman was a close second. Now Disney wants to be some sort of tool designed to brainwash people who are just trying to be entertained.
The way youtu.be/QH0rliMPzhY discussed the “our universe” MCU encountering Tony Victor Stark (Robert Downey Jr.’s Doctor Doom) changed my “I’m not sure…It’s a bit confusing to me as to how Iron Man can be seen as a totally different character.” impression into “I CAN’T WAIT TO SEE THE NEW FANTACTIC FOUR WITH RDJ DOOM!”
Yes. I know it’ll be a Silver Surfer intro, as well. However, they NEED to introduce us to Tony Doom in the end credits!
there will never be another person who can step into the shoes of tony stark. the roles is simply irreplaceable. it cannot be played by anyone else. wolverine cannot be played by anyone else. doctor doom can be cast as anyone and can be executed with the right actor. RDJ is not the right choice. but what is VITAL and IMPERATIVE moving forward is to figure out a way to write in and bring back the Godfather of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Beetle Bailey
Nobody cares want you want
Tracee
Bring back RDJ as IRONMAN…
You can find a way!
MAKE IT HAPPEN!!!!
Gary jones
I think James Spader would fill that role the best. He has already played a similar role as Raymond (red) Redington.
Matthew Willem
Wasn’t he Ultron already?
Nikko
Yes he was.
Justin
Iron man is a Doctor Doom variant. RDJ may not be in What If?, but he will be back in Fantastic 4
Danny O.
I’m hoping this is the case — that Doom is an /iron Man variant.
Amy
Yes, he played Ultron and his voice is iconic. James Spader is an amazing actor and plays a cunning, likable villain, but I think he should sit on his MCU alter as Ultron only.
Donovan Blair
He was Ultron

Because Dracula is Romanian, not Romani.

Blah blah blah
Cb
Would have prefered he and jude law make some more sherlock holmes movies,should of gave doom.part to another actor like mads m.
Darthgimli79
Mads, James Spader, or Michael Fassbender!!!
Amy
Mass is a good call, but James Spader already played a perfect and icon Ultron. Spader’s voice is one that you don’t forget. I think he should sit on his MCU altar as Ultron only.
Amy
“Mads” not Mass
Jon Allison
Sherlock Holmes (and Watson) should only be played by a British actor!!!!! (just kidding)
Clayton Morse
It never say well with me having Robert Downey Jr playing a different character when he’s been iron Man for idk how many years. Anybody else would be better.
G. G.
Glenn Howerton as Doom would be about the only thing that could get me to see any movie that’s part of the dumpster fire that is the MCU.
Lee
OK so we got alot of some good here but blade had to be canceled because why again?
Isaiah Emmanuel Gomez
I don’t know who can replace RDJ, this looks bad because you had all the fanfare with RDJ, i would like to know why? Is he having a different role, is it money, Script what? I am personally bummed, I need to see some life in the MCU movies. First Blade now this! SMH
Martin Frowd
Did you read the article? They’re only recasting Doom in the animated show. It will still be RDJ playing him in live action movies.
Danny O.
That’s the part that confused me. It sounded like RDJ was being replaced in regards to the character altogether. I hope you’re correct…that he’s still going to portray Doom in the live action.
John clark
Calling Murphy would 100% nail the Dr Doom part
Scott
Nobody wants RDJ to play Dr. Doom. It’s confusing to the people new to the story and it’s just plain lazy casting.
Beetle Bailey
What a nobody like you?
Vincet
He was great as Sherlock Holmes and Iron Man.
However he will make a lousy Dr Doom.
I will not spend any money or time to see him as Dr Doom.
Marvel can find a better actor for the role.
Beetle Bailey
No one is asking you to 😂
taylor
i didnt quiet realized ! is dawney jr is doom or not ! if he is not ! that is really wise and smart decision ! in my idea ! julian mcmohan should once again be cast as dr doom ! when you look at the guy he see doom himself ! doom might and fearsome and bad assness ! really if they did changed rober dawney jr as doom to someone esle ! that really good thinking ! they can pick also me as doom ! cause i do as i choose and i answer to no one ! so turn and run now and i mercifully pretend this never happend
Beetle Bailey
It’s Downey not Dawney 🙄

I’ve been a die hard of Marvel since I was 4 years old. Lou Ferignos Hull was my Idol and Spiderman was a close second.

Yes. I know it’ll be a Silver Surfer intro, as well. However, they NEED to introduce us to Tony Doom in the end credits!

there will never be another person who can step into the shoes of tony stark. the roles is simply irreplaceable. it cannot be played by anyone else. wolverine cannot be played by anyone else. doctor doom can be cast as anyone and can be executed with the right actor.
