As a die-hard cinema enthusiast, I’m thrilled that there are two more massive Marvel Cinematic Universe films on the 2025 schedule. However, the anticipation is already building for 2026 and the highly anticipated “Avengers: Doomsday”, a movie where Robert Downey Jr. reprises his role as Doctor Doom. I can’t wait to see how it unfolds, and that feeling is shared by none other than Julian McMahon, a previous incarnation of Doctor Doom.
In 2005, Ioan McMahon portrayed Victor von Doom in the “Fantastic Four” film. This production turned out to be a box office success, although McMahon acknowledges that it was a bit challenging for the movie to find its identity, as he shared with ScreenRant. He appears intrigued by Downey’s performance and is keen on incorporating Doom into the superhero cinematic universe that “Fantastic Four” contributed to shaping. He stated…
Hey there! You understand, right? I’m referring to the artist, Robert. His craft is self-explanatory; he’s incredibly gifted. I can’t help but admire his work. When we collaborated on those films way back, we were on the brink of something significant. We were feeling our way through a lot, trying to pinpoint where the movie belonged. Was it for kids? Or was it more family-oriented? Was it comedic or dramatic? We were exploring all these aspects while filming.
Initially, the Fantastic Four series mirrored the success of early comic book adaptations such as X-Men and Spider-Man. However, it opted for a slightly unique approach by incorporating intentional humor in its narrative. As McMahon noted, the movie was still figuring out its identity during production.
Disney Plus & Hulu Bundle Deal: The sensational offer from last year is back earlier than expected in 2025! The popular Disney Plus bundle deal we saw during Black Friday returns this March, priced at an unbeatable $2.99 per month for the ad-supported plan combining Disney Plus and Hulu. Normally costing $10.99 a month, that’s an impressive 72% discount! Although new and returning customers won’t enjoy the discounted rate for as long, you’ll still benefit from the budget-friendly bundle for the initial four months of your subscription (during Black Friday, the reduced Disney Plus price was valid for a full year).

The initial film managed to be successful enough in its endeavor to secure a follow-up titled “Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer”. Regrettably, this sequel didn’t fare as well, leading the franchise to come to an end. However, a year later, Robert Downey Jr. took on the role of Iron Man and the landscape of comic book films was forever transformed.
Stepping into the role of a seasoned movie critic, I must say that Robert Downey Jr., with his two-decade-long prowess in comic book cinema and the technological advancements that time has brought, is poised to deliver an exceptional portrayal as Doom. Vince McMahon seems to be eagerly awaiting this performance, as he shared…
As a movie enthusiast, I find myself marveling at the multitude of perspectives one can bring to filmmaking today. With an artist like Robert Downey Jr., whose creativity has graced our screens for decades, combined with the innovative techniques of modern cinema-making, I believe we’re in store for something truly exceptional.
Although Julian McMahon’s portrayal of Doctor Doom was overshadowed by later Marvel Cinematic Universe films, his performance in the role wasn’t poor on its own merit. With Robert Downey Jr.’s undeniable talent and current advancements in filmmaking, it is intriguing to speculate about how McMahon’s Doctor Doom would have evolved over time.
Given that Chris Evans’ Human Torch has been in a movie with Deadpool and Wolverine, it isn’t too outlandish to imagine us encountering Randy “Macho Man” Savage’s Doctor Doom through the multiverse. Just as Deadpool & Wolverine provided a fitting farewell for many Marvel characters who never had one, perhaps this could be an opportunity for an older Doctor Doom to bid adieu, while making way for the new one.
