    Ryan Reynolds should have whispered into a mic..."They're going to have you do this until you're 90"

    I mean we all knew RDJ was coming back just from the sheer desperate stupidity of Disney. We knew Disney was desperate in all their sectors including the MCU and was going to hit the emergency red button that says "Pay RDJ how many billions of dollars he wants to come back". But as Victor Von Doom?...
  • A lot of folks defending this claiming "the comics bring characters and variants back from the dead and do evil one off versions of heroes all the time this is on brand" without realising those very same practices that helped erode investment in and slowly kill the comics industry.

  • RDJ to Kevin Feige: You could not live with your own failure. Where did that bring you? Back to meā€¦

    Ron White made the diamonds joke ā€œdiamonds. Thatā€™ll shut her up. For a minuteā€ Personally, just casting him makes it feel like the universe is small. Now a Doom vs Ironman would have been good. Plus the last thing I want (but predicted) was that Doomā€™s armor would be Stark Tech

    Marvel: The multiverse is played out and should be over Also Marvel: Quadruples down on multiverse

    The problem I feel with this is doom wonā€™t feel like the real doom. Just an evil tony stark with magic abilities. Iā€™m totally a fan of there being and evil tony but make it an ACTUAL evil tony stark. We want a definitive version of victor not a variant. WE WANT DOOM. Iā€™m gonna still look forward to seeing how they do with this because if done properly it could work and make sense and be accepted but right now just feels weird.
  • Cilian Murphy, Mads Mikkelsen, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, Michael Fassbender, Alexander Skarsgardā€¦ there were sooo many actors who couldā€™ve nailed this role. Iā€™d like to be a fly on the wall of the room where these execs decided, ā€œImagine Tony Stark, but heā€™s not Tony Stark, heā€™s Dr. Doom! Yeah thatā€™s a great idea!ā€

    One issue the MCU couldnt have helped was that the mainline movies and team ended. Its like when a sports team wins a Super Bowl or World Series and everybody is a free agent. But hollywood doesnt understand its fine to let things end. Ive been saying for a while now that anything after Endgame thats actually good is just a bonus.
  • @dahakadilly
    "you either die a hero or live long enough to see your self become the villain " RDJ: " how about both ?"
  • @ianwathuku1870
    Jeremy sarcastically anticipating Chris Evans as magneto and RDJ being Doom just made me think of Micheal Fassbender. He killed it as magneto and would have been perfect casting as Dr. Doom.
  • @Bjork4s
    Kevin Feige wanted to say Cillian Murphy but since he forgot his name, so he instead said as "the guy who won an Oscar in Oppenheimer" šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚
  • @MysterySteve
    The concept of the MCU What If series wouldn't make any sense if variants didn't become relevant in some way like this
  • @DeltaEcho303
    The real "In Case of Emergency Break Glass" moment would be a 'Marvel vs.' crossover with DC or Capcom.
  • @bencarlson4300
    As Jeremy said, this feels desperate and, imo, a little sad that weā€™ve reached the point where this is even seriously considered. The ā€œreuseā€ of actors in Deadpool and Wolverine was a literal joke and it worked great, but this is just bizarre because itā€™s not a joke.
