If they show his face they already fucked up

    Yeah they’re going to cast like the highest paid actor in the world and then not show his face

      Who did they cast Adam Sandler as? Hopefully a cameo that dies before it’s able to do too much damage.

    I think it’d be cool if new/not famous actors were given big roles like this. It’s a joke that RDJ got this role and Hollywood has the same issue as Washington-- bunch of old people who can’t wrap their heads around going with new talent instead of the same tired old actors.

    When a movie markets itself around the fame of the main actor(s), I can’t help but think it’s gonna be more hype the substance. But when a movie has some very lesser known characters but knocks it outta the park, I like that a lot more. Prey is a good example of this.

    MCU movies and all that stuff are just a cheap ass cash grab and decisions are made based on profit viability more than anything. Just so painfully formulaic.

    I’m wondering if they’ll turn an alternative universe Tony Stark into Doom. Are there any comics where this happens?

    As far as feelings: very excited. I was bummed when Robert Downey Jr. exited the MCU and it will be nice to have him back. I hope it’s more than a cameo.

      Interestingly, there’s one arc where Doctor Doom becomes Iron Man and joins The Avengers.

        That would be an interesting twist. Alt Tony Stark is Dr. Doom so the real Dr. Doom joins the Avengers to save the universe. Although Doom’s motivation would likely be to prove he’s the superior Doom. Seems like that would make a decent Secret Wars plotline.

      It must be really. “Its nega-ironman with an iron face!”

      Only reason they’d reuse an actor

      Looks like he is slated for the next two avengers movies instead of Kang. I have mixed feelings, but no telling until we get to see it. I’m hopeful that it will turn out well

    RDJ should’ve worn a mask and James Earl Jones should’ve done the voiceacting.

    I might actually watch that. Last time I watched superhero movies they were on Fantastic Four and spiderman was still Tobey.

    All I’m gonna say is that I thought it was weird to cast Linda Cardellini as that animal in guardians 3 when she was already mrs hawkeye.

      Captain America is the Human Torch. Wolverine is Mr Fantastic. Casting is apparently hard work.

        As someone that is clueless about the comics, I usually have to look up the connections between characters. I end up on wikipedia reading some stuff, clicking through to other articles about the comics and the next thing I know, I’m reading about the Moroccan invasion of the Songhai Empire in the late 16th century.

    Might be cool but definitely looks desperate. Hope they spend more money in cgi though.

    “superhero movies are played out” was being said before the MCU even existed
