@thecinemacutmedia: The MCU’s new Doctor Doom is set to be one of Marvel’s biggest villains yet, with Robert Downey Jr. taking on the role of Victor von Doom in Avengers: Doomsday. Rather than returning as Tony Stark, Downey is playing an entirely different character—a brilliant scientist and former friend of Reed Richards whose life was shattered after losing everything he cared about. Recent footage has given audiences a darker look at Doom’s motivations, portraying him as someone who believes the heroes of the multiverse have lived “stolen lives” and that he is the one capable of deciding their fate. His return is especially significant because Downey’s Tony Stark was the face of the MCU for more than a decade, making his transformation from Marvel’s greatest hero into one of its greatest villains one of the most intriguing casting choices in the franchise. With Doom commanding an army of Sentinels and confronting the Avengers, Fantastic Four and X-Men, Avengers: Doomsday is positioning him as a threat on a completely different scale from the MCU’s previous villains. #avengersdoomsday #drdoom #doomsday #marvelcinematicuniverse #rdj
