yo what
I’m not deeply familiar with the lore/canon. Is there any instance in the comics that Tony Stark becomes Dr. Doom? If not, is this Marvel getting desperate with their waning popularity by trying to bring back RDJ just to straight up play a different character? That’s a new low.
Dr. Doom has become Iron Man, so there’s that. In this case it might just be same actor two roles. Remember that Doom wears that mask because his face is all fucked up; it’s likely that they could just have RDJ play the role without any Iron Man connections at all.
Update: also there’s this: https://youtu.be/5Jv-HopDBV4?si=052HgQB2WQJhtvRT
Doesn’t seem to me like it would make sense to hire RDJ and then hide him behind a mask for the entire movie.
I’d like to invite you to watch V for vendetta. A good actor can do magic even behind a mask!
Edit: I’m not sure how Downey Jr would perform, just want to point out that a mask alone is not a blocker for a great performance.
