Robert Downey Jr. reveals how Kevin Feige convinced him to play Dr. Doom — and his big fear returning to MCUand revealed himself as Dr. Doom.
Feige wanted to make sure that they didn't "go backwards" or "disappoint expectations" but rather "continue to beat expectations,” Downey said.“And he brought up Victor Von Doom," he continued. "I looked into this character. Later on, he goes, ‘Let’s get Victor Von Doom right.'” Doom is one of Marvel's greatest villains and plays an integral part in the planned next phase of the Avengers films and the MCU in general.
Downey had a lot to consider, and so he asked to meet with Iger, who almost immediately gave his okay to the idea of Downey as Doom. Iger then invited both the Oscar-winning actor and Feige to Disney's Imagineering Campus, which all but sealed the deal.“You want to talk about two guys that are not easy to have their minds blown, let alone at the same time,” Downey recalled. “What is going on there, right now, is so beyond my expectations of what was possible.
"New mask, same task," Downey said at his big Comic Con debut. "What can I say, I like playing complicated characters."Jeremy Renner says Robert Downey Jr. didn't tell him about Doctor Doom Marvel casting: 'That son of a bitch'How can Robert Downey Jr. play Doom in the MCU?
