RDJ to Kevin Feige:

You could not live with your own failure. Where did that bring you? Back to me…

[samuelgardner]

I love this guy "At the end...I can't wait to see Chris Evans come back...as Magneto!"😂😂😂

Ryan Reynolds should have whispered into a mic..."They're going to have you do this until you're 90"

RDJ in black face paint as the new black panther is such a missed opportunity

"Somehow, Robert Downey Jr has returned."

RDJ as Tony Stark variant as Dr Doom. "I’m the dude…playin the dude…disguised as another dude!!"

The mcu since endgame has just been throwing shit att the wall and seeing if it sticks

Not only do I agree about this being a desperate move bringing Robert Downey Jr. back, but it’s also desperate in that they had to announce it. If Marvel studios was still as popular with the general public as they used to be, then this would have made for an amazing surprise for the viewers if we were never told about Downey’s return whenever Doom’s character is visually introduced in the MCU.

"I'm so confused." - Scott Lang.

Jeremy sarcastically anticipating Chris Evans as magneto and RDJ being Doom just made me think of Micheal Fassbender.
He killed it as magneto and would have been perfect casting as Dr. Doom.

Cillian murphy was right there 😭
He could’ve been so intimidating as Doom if written well like Thanos.

[blairalexander]

"I essentially see this as an admition that they don't know how to fix the MCU."

As usual Jeremy puts my thoughts into words better than I can.

[Aaron-ccyq]

This is the problem with the "multi-verse", they can make anything and everything happen. Thus, there are no stakes, and nothing is permanent if they don't want it to be.

*Cilian Murphy, Mads Mikkelsen, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, Michael Fassbender, Alexander Skarsgard… there were sooo many actors who could’ve nailed this role. I’d like to be a fly on the wall of the room where these execs decided, “Imagine Tony Stark, but he’s not Tony Stark, he’s Dr. Doom! Yeah that’s a great idea!”*

[SageNemesis]

"Diamonds. That'll shut her up!" - Ron White

And yeah, I feel the same as Jeremy. Excited, but feels like it's desperation.

[tonydann-nbce]

you either die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain

[Delete-exe]

he died as a hero and quite literally lived long enough to be cast as a villain

[sadas]

Internet: HIRE THE GUY IN OPPENHEIMER!

Feige: Gotchu fam, say no more

[truboss]

Marvel: The multiverse is played out and should be over

Also Marvel: Quadruples down on multiverse

[frankbrazas]

This is as ridiculous as Russell Crowe playing the Roman Emporer in Gladiator 2.
