Not all Marvel fans are thrilled about Robert Downey Jr. returning to the MCU to play Doctor Doom, but here's why it's the right move.
The reaction to Robert Downey Jr. returning to the MCU as Doctor Doom was understandably mixed. Iron Man's death in Avengers: Endgame was among the most impactful moments of the Infinity Saga. Bringing the actor back into the fold threatens to cheapen his previous character's sacrifice. I understand these concerns, but after reading the Secret Wars comics, I'm convinced that Marvel needed the casting of Doctor Doom in the MCU to be a no-doubter home run.
It has to not only introduce a brand new villain at least as threatening as Thanos, but it has to give the villain enough runway to connect to the rest of the MCU. Otherwise, the grand finale of the Multiverse Saga is going to be an underwhelming disaster. When Robert Downey Jr. took the stage at Comic-Con 2024, every MCU fan had an immediate, visceral reaction. That's exactly what Marvel was hoping for.
