Exclusive First: Doctor Doom and Marvel
🕑 Added 2024-07-29 14:37:42 +0000 UTCSending you this before it ever makes it to the channel or anywhere else. As you are aware, we've been reporting on RDJ's return to the MCU for years. Not only that, but we also reported on the return of the Russo brothers months ago, talked about Hugh Jackman joining before anyone knew it was happening, etc. Now, I'm here to tell you a leak that is very early and may just come true.
The scripts for the Avengers movies are not yet finished and things can change. However, a source tells me that RDJ will not be the only person playing Doctor Doom if things work out the way they're hoping. RDJ will play a Tony Stark variant who uses the Doctor Doom mantle for his own purposes. Ultimately, the next two Avengers movies are going to be the finale for the MCU as we've known it with another grand sendoff for Downey and his Stark character. It will also be the grand sendoff for the Fox X-Men.
But according to my source, this is a multiverse script they're working on and RDJ will not be the only Doctor Doom. Again, we're very early, but my source is telling me that Marvel is reaching out to Viggo Mortensen in hopes that he will play the prime Doctor Doom character. There are only about three actors the Russo brothers are willing to go after... if they can't get them, they're willing to alter plans. But I'm told that Mortensen is the big catch they're after. And that means they have big money if necessary.
And after the performance of Deadpool and Wolverine this last weekend, I'll be shocked if Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman aren't in the next Avengers movies. As I've said before, Feige wants to pair Hugh Jackman and Tom Holland together. At this point, I'd put money on it.

What’s the possibility of RDJ-Doom being be Tony Stark of the 838 universe from Dr Strange 2?

Something's going on in the wider world with this RDJ news and I'm not quite sure it had the impact Marvel wanted. This is just an anecdote, but I've had three friends who are normies who've independently told me 'that was desperate as hell casting', 'man, I just don't see RDJ playing Doom', 'how desperate is Marvel that they have to announce this?'. The last one for context, comes from someone I would have called a Marvel Studios shill before he posted that. That person has loved everything in phases 4 and 5. It could be just me, but something is up and I'm not sure we'll see the impact of this for quite a while.
