Robert Downey Jr. Is Now Doctor Doom in the MCU: A Shocking Twist
The news is breaking that Robert Downey Jr is returning to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, not as Iron Man, but as Doctor Doom! What impact will this casting choice have on the franchise?
How Could Doctor Doom Fit Into the MCU's Future?
The casting of Robert Downey Jr. as Doctor Doom MCU is shocking for MCU fans and has been linked to Avengers 5, now called Avengers: Doomsday. The move makes sense though! The character has long been expected in the MCU, and now his Doctor Doom appearance in the Multiverse Saga will dramatically shift how fans view these iconic heroes and villains.
Why Does the Casting Impact the Story?
This casting shakes things up in a huge way! In a change to what was once a Kang-centered Multiverse Saga villain, the MCU Multiverse Saga will be defined by a formidable and powerful new enemy. Doctor Doom, a villain often known for his desire for domination in a single universe, now takes on the role of one of the Multiverse Saga’s most formidable threats! Get ready, he will challenge even the mighty Avengers.
Will Doctor Doom Replace Kang in the Multiverse Saga?
Avengers 5 will have some adjustments with this casting news. Originally titled "Avengers: The Kang Dynasty," it will be renamed Avengers: Doomsday. This means there will be a complete change of plans to a much more classic Marvel character! Even though Kang will likely make a big comeback to the MCU at some point, his position as the main villain in Avengers: Doomsday movie will likely shift to Doctor Doom, as a new, formidable Multiverse Saga villain.
Is This a Huge Event For The Fantastic Four?
Fans who follow the Fantastic Four will know how deeply intertwined they are with Doctor Doom's story! With the Doctor Doom casting, the Fantastic Four could make an appearance in Fantastic Four MCU to help shape the plot. But, if the Marvel universe introduces a separate Fantastic Four debut in a film like "Fantastic Four: First Steps", this will likely make it the ideal place for Doctor Doom story to have its origin explored!
What Does Robert Downey Jr's Casting Mean For Iron Man?
Fans of the original Iron Man, the character that kickstarted the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe franchise, are bound to have questions! It is now almost unthinkable to separate Robert Downey Jr. MCU legacy from Tony Stark.
