As a long-time fan of both Jeff Goldblum and the Marvel Cinematic Universe, I found his reaction to Robert Downey Jr.’s casting as Doctor Doom to be nothing short of delightful. His unique delivery and charming eccentricity made the moment even more memorable. It’s clear that Goldblum, with his extensive experience in the industry, has a knack for making every interaction feel special, whether it’s discussing his new series or reminiscing about classic films like “North by Northwest.”
As a die-hard fan, I can’t help but reminisce about Jeff Goldblum’s captivating performances, particularly his iconic role as Dr. Ian Malcolm in the Jurassic Park/World movies. However, it’s essential to remember that Goldblum is also deeply rooted in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. He played the Grandmaster in Thor: Ragnarok, a role that marked the 17th film in the series. Initially, he was set to reprise his role as the ruler of Sakaar in Thor: Love and Thunder, but unfortunately, his scenes were trimmed out. Interestingly, Goldblum doesn’t follow the MCU closely, so watching him react to Robert Downey Jr.’s casting as Doctor Doom is an exhilarating, unpredictable spectacle.
During a conversation with Josh Horowitz regarding his upcoming series KAOS (available on Netflix), Goldblum was asked if Grandmaster might return in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. When he hinted that he hadn’t received any news, Horowitz shared the update that Downey would portray Doctor Doom following Tony Stark’s demise in Avengers: Endgame. Here’s how Goldblum responded to this unexpected casting choice:
Terrific update! It seems there’s some buzz about… yes, I picked up rumors from various sources. Yes, it was like whispers at the edges. Victor von Doom is the name, and I must say, it sounds impressive. If my name were Victor von Doom, I might have achieved more by now. That’s a powerful-sounding name, or simply Von or Van.
It’s definitely worth checking out this segment of the interview to hear Jeff Goldblum himself say those words. His unique style really enhances the impact. Josh Horowitz also suggested “Von Goldblum” which seemed appealing, though it led to a brief discussion about James Mason’s character in North by Northwest, named Phillip Vandamm. However, let’s steer clear of delving too deeply into that iconic Hitchcock film for now.
