Washington [US], March 24 (ANI): Performer
Robert Downey Jr
shared his surprise at seeing him stroll onto the stage costumed like that
Doctor Doom
at
San Diego Comic-Con
Last year; it came as a surprise to almost everybody, largely due to the fact that he had previously rescued the Marvel Universe as Tony Stark.
The idea of Downey portraying a villain named Victor von Doom dates back even before he was chosen for the role of Iron Man’s alter ego, according to reports from Deadline.
I recall that you had previously met with [Downey] for, something like,
Doctor Doom
“Or perhaps something from another venture,” Director Jon Favreau mentioned during a 2023 talk with Marvel head honcho Kevin Feige. “He might have shown up around [2005’s] Fantastic Four, which made everyone familiar with him,” according to the source.
In the 2005 movie, Victor Von Doom was played by Julian McMahon, whereas Downey took on the role of Stark in the 2008 release “Iron Man.” However, according to reports fromDeadline, Feige considered casting DowneyJ as Doom instead.
Downey consented, and the actor attempted to persuade his Avengers: Endgame directors to reunite the band for the forthcoming Avengers: Secret Wars and Avengers: Doomsday projects, according to the source.
Robert attempted to persuade us to go along with his idea, but we responded with ‘no.’ We lacked a storyline and an entry point. For some time, we remained unconvinced.
Once, Steve McFeely, who is one of our key partners, mentioned he had an idea. We responded with excitement, saying, ‘There’s your tale! This narrative needs to be shared; it carries immense power.’
What is that idea? None of the directors revealed significant details until Joe stated, “All I can share regarding the film is this: We adore antagonists who believe they are protagonists in their personal narratives. This makes them multi-faceted and far more intriguing. With an actor such as Robert Downey Jr., one must craft a fully developed, complex character for viewers.” As reported by Deadline. (ANI)
