As a long-time Marvel fan and avid gamer, I’m absolutely thrilled about Robert Downey Jr.’s return to the MCU as Doctor Doom. The SDCC reveal left me in a state of disbelief and excitement, my heart racing with anticipation for what this means for the future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
1. At San Diego Comic-Con, Kevin Feige and his Marvel Studios team electrified many fans by announcing that Robert Downey Jr. will rejoin the MCU to play the renowned comic book villain Doctor Doom. The responses have been varied, with Gwyneth Paltrow among those expressing bewilderment, but overall, the fandom is enthusiastic about the prospect of Doctor Doom in the MCU given Jonathan Majors’ legal issues. However, this development raises questions about Tom Holland’s future role.
As a dedicated gamer and avid MCU fan, I haven’t heard Robert Downey Jr. himself comment on the shocking casting news yet, but that’s not what’s stirring emotions among us online. Instead, we’re all buzzing with excitement about how this new casting choice, however it fits into the storyline, could be a crushing blow to the growing Peter Parker in an upcoming Marvel movie once he learns about the new villain… or at least what the villain looks like.
Since the announcement made the rounds, various responses have emerged, with spectators pondering which character Downey Jr. will portray this time – is it another version of Tony Stark or something different? The anticipation among fans is palpable as they wonder how Tom Holland’s Spider-Man will react upon coming face to face with the antagonist hidden behind the silver mask.
1. The audience seems divided about what might happen next. Some fear it could push Peter, who is already emotionally fragile, over the brink, while others anticipate that in future films, Peter will grow older, becoming more resilient to handle traumatic events such as the ones he’s expected to face.
A few spectators anxiously anticipate the scene where Spider-Man and Doctor Doom reveal each other’s hidden identities, but for different reasons. They believe Marvel intentionally brought Robert Downey Jr. back into the storyline to create a powerful emotional showdown between Peter and Tony Stark, which they are eagerly looking forward to. However, they express less enthusiasm about the anticipated build-up leading to this anticipated confrontation.
Here’s a smattering of opinions from various points in the spectrum:
- So Peter Parker is going to have a terrible time , may is dead, MJ , Ned, Happy don’t know him or that he’s Spider-Man anymore. Lost his mentor and NOW his mentor variant is DOCTOR DOOM. He’s gonna need some therapy. – @NoorAlmuzaffar
- tom holland’s spider-man is going to be in the middle of a big battle with robert downey jr’s doctor doom and then doom will remove his mask and peter parker will break when he sees tony stark 🥺 – @ShanLFTV
- My favorite news from this weekend. I can’t wait for him to annihilate Tom Holland Spider-Man. Peter thinks it’s Tony, but it’s Victor from another universe. #SDCC – @justinrclarke
- some people forget how smart peter parker is and its driving me crazy like no he wouldn’t think doctor doom is tony stark – @yunahsunshine
- You think Doctor Doom won’t be from the multiverse? You think he isn’t gonna know EXACTLY who Peter Parker is? Who Tony Stark was to him?
Hes gonna know how to hit where it hurts without throwing a punch.
“I know, the resemble is uncanny isn’t it? You don’t feel so good, huh?” – @winterironbaby - I need RDJ as Doctor Doom to have a run in with Peter Parker and say “Who do you think I am? Some kind of man of iron” Then Peter starts crying saying “dad is that you?” And RDJ starts crying saying “this isn’t me.. I’m no doctor, i love you 3000 kiddo” and the credits roll – @SavinTheBees
1. I agree with the fourth and fifth posts you’ve mentioned earlier, as they seem to provide the most logical perspective for this project. To put it simply, while Peter might initially feel overwhelmed by seeing someone who resembles Tony beneath the Doom mask, considering he witnessed Tony’s death, attended the funeral, and was involved in the subsequent arrangements, it seems unlikely that his initial reaction would be, “This is an exact duplicate of him from head to toe.”
If Doctor Doom knows Spider-Man’s true identity right from the start, he may be able to manipulate events so that Peter Parker believes Tony Stark has returned as a villain. For Doctor Doom, this would be a relatively simple task on a typical Tuesday.
Now, there’s mounting pressure to determine who will take over directing duties for “Spider-Man 4,” with Kevin Feige hinting that Jon Watts may be out of the running. Will Doom make an appearance in this film or will he merely show up in upcoming “Avengers” installments?
A user of X, as expressed below, has a forward-looking perspective, but his forecasts extend further into the future.
2088 at Comic-Con, during the Spider-Man: Web of Deceit panel, Kevin Feige III mused, “They say a hero is known by his foe…” As mist swirled and the lights flickered between green and purple hues, a crippled 92-year-old Tom Holland in a Green Goblin mask shuffled onto the stage.
Well, it might not be entirely accurate, but it’s not too far from the truth in a broader sense. That’s just how things can be when navigating multiple universes.
Currently, Robert Downey Jr.’s portrayal as Doctor Doom is not imminent, so there’s a chance that five more announcements at D23 could change this situation. In the meantime, feel free to speculate enthusiastically and keep your eyes peeled for updates.
