Many people are expressing their thoughts about Robert Downey Jr.’s potential return as Doctor Doom in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), and it appears that even someone with some expertise on portraying the character has an opinion. In 2005, was the first to bring Doom to life on the big screen, and since the underwhelming reboot in 2015 – where Tony Kebbell played the part – McMahon remains a reference point for the upcoming MCU version of the character.
Personally, as a die-hard film enthusiast, I’ve got no doubts that Downey Jr. will knock it out of the park with his “extraordinary” portrayal of the character in Avengers: Doomsday. In an interview with ScreenRant at SXSW, he shed light on how the 2005 Fantastic Four movie is a world apart from the type of comic book filmmaking we see today. He emphasized that it’s like comparing apples to oranges.
Hey, it’s me, Robert. I think you understand my point, right? What’s your take on him? He’s incredibly gifted and his body of work is truly impressive. I always enjoy seeing what he creates. When we collaborated on those films back in the day, we were on the brink of a lot of developments. We were figuring out our path and trying to determine where the movie belonged. Was it meant for kids? Or families? Was it leaning more towards comedy or trauma? We were exploring all these aspects as we were filming.
With so many ways to interpret those artworks now, you have countless possibilities. If you combine Robert Downey Jr’s exceptional creativity, spanning years, with today’s film-making methods? I believe the outcome will be nothing short of remarkable.
Robert Downey Jr.’s Doom Will Have a Much Bigger Part to Play than McMahon
In 2005, superhero films hadn’t yet reached their status as billion-dollar blockbusters like they are now. The concept of a movie like Avengers: Endgame being made 20 years ago seems just as fantastical as the notion of a TV and cinema universe with over 60 interconnected stories that we have today. At that time, The Fantastic Four had already graced the silver screen, but Iron Man and the early stages of the Marvel Cinematic Universe were still some years off.
In the movie “Fantastic Four,” McMahon’s Doctor Doom had limited time to leave a strong impression. On the other hand, in “Avengers: Doomsday” and with his participation in “Avengers: Secret Wars,” it appears Downey Jr.’s screen time will be more extensive. Despite less than perfect circumstances for Doom’s introduction into the Marvel Cinematic Universe due to changes in plans following the disappearance of Jonathan Majors’ Kang the Conqueror from the Multiverse Saga, the future holds a significant challenge for the might of the Avengers franchise.
