Avengers: Doomsday’s RDJ Says Doctor Doom’s Plans Are Far More Evil Than Fans Expect
- In an interview with Empire Magazine released yesterday, Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige confirmed that Doctor Doom is the genuine, standalone Victor Von Doom in Avengers: Doomsday, debunking fan theories the villain is a Tony Stark variant.
- Since Marvel cast Robert Downey Jr. as the villain, fans speculated Doom was a 'variant' of Stark, assuming the casting explained Downey's return as a multiverse character across alternate universes.
- Feige addressed the speculation by pointing to Chris Evans portraying both Steve Rogers and Johnny Storm as evidence Marvel actors play distinct roles, asking, 'Is Doom just a variant of another character?'
- Downey Jr. expressed enthusiasm about playing the villain, comparing his approach to Michael Douglas in the 1993 feature Falling Down, saying he likes 'a bit of scorched earth' with tremendous scope.
- Avengers: Doomsday hits theaters on December 18. Additionally, Marvel confirmed earlier this week that Scarlet Witch will return in the film, though seemingly under Doom's control.
