    This is how I feel about it, Ala the Simpsons,

    Outer me: They changed the MCU! It’s better than ever.


    Inner me: Wait! Don't be fooled. It’s just the regular failing Forumla since Endgame with a stupid, cash grab casting for DOOM. It still embodies all the awful stereotypes it did before.

    Outer me: But RDJ got a new mask. I want it. I want it. I want it.

    I was sure I read somewhere Dan Stevens was going to play Doom

    RDJ is an inspired choice and likely will get what ever pay and producing credit he commands, I assume he will make an appearance in Fantastic 4

    That's the bit I'm wondering about. I assume he won't be the big bad of fantastic four but surely that movie is going to bring them abd doom into the main time line.

    The point is, it's a completely uninspired choice!

    Big Bad of fantastic 4 is below, but he might make a cameo, then he's the big bad of Doomsday and Secret Wars

    So nobody notices that he looks exactly like Tony Stark? Mad.

    Bar Guardians and D&W the MCU has been in total free fall. So it's zero surprise they've got RDJ back.

    With Captain America looking like it's gonna be a **** show I expect a big bag of Marvel cash to be pelted at Chris Evans. Possibly bring him in as Nomad for a while to not totally rub Mackies face in it. Even at this stage I wouldn't be that interested in Bucky taking the shield.

    They tried without the headliners but for various reasons it's in free fall. I expect to see the OG 4 Avengers put back together they see it as their only way to bring back the casual viewers and I think RDJ and Evans faves on posters will do that.

    My only issue is will they correct the stupid writhing and cut back on all the shite TV shows and nonsense filler movies.

    Is Kang Dynasty basically gone now? Esposito as a Kang variant and taking over from Majors would be have a shrewd move.

    I'm glad see RDJ back but I'd have rathered let Kang play out first. But again, they are panicking and want to slap a big patch on the sinking ship.

    Kang is gone. The next Avengers film was supposed to be Avengers: Kang Dynasty, and then Avengers: Secret Wars. Now it's Avengers: Doomsday and then Avengers: Secret Wars.

    Esposito is playing an entirely different character unrelated to Kang, and Loki Season 2 effectively gave a throwaway few lines which could explain the end to the Kang storyline if needed (which I guess is what they're going with).

    The Kang is dead; Long live the Doom.

    The Memory Hole treatment of Kang is certainly gonna do nothing for Quantumania's enduring reputation; if anything it'll only make the film even more redundant.

    Evans won't come back. Cap was a much more physically demanding role than Iron Man. RDJ can become another character as his physicality wasn't really a part of the Iron Man character. He can bring the same qualities to Doom whereas Evans would have to spend his life in the gym to get another part.

    Chris Evans' post MCU career has been really weird. In fact bar a couple of outliers like Knives Out or Defending Jacob (an Apple show I had to google 'cos I bet nobody has heard of it), he has been starring in … well, trash. His career seems weirdly stalled and going nowhere, compared with RDJ who has mixed producing with some interesting work.

    Yeah. He has no equivalent of Oppenheimer. I don't think this is it though. It's more that his character had such a fitting end and there aren't a lot of other suitable choices. RDJ will be behind a mask most of the time and his voice will almost certainly be altered.

    His pre MCU career was pretty much the same as his post MCU career to be fair.

    Evans is in Celine Song’s upcoming film, which is certainly a step up in prestige from the instantly forgotten streaming junk he’s been in. Also in Ethan Coen’s Honey Don’t, though Drive-Away Dolls doesn’t bode super well for that one.

    We’ll see how they turn out, but they’re at least interesting choices for an actor who on a financial level most likely never has to work again. Will always give some credit to these megastars who fit in smaller or auteur projects, even if their bets don’t pay off. Having even a few decent, interesting choices is preferable to none - I’d argue Ryan Reynolds, for example, hasn’t taken an interesting role in ten years (since Mississippi Grind, maybe). Ditto Dwayne Johnson until his recent decision to team up with a Safdie.

    Was going to say the same thing - sure, he did a few decent things like Sunshine, Scott Pilgrim and Snowpiercer. But they're outliers in his filmography. I imagine that MCU money means he can to some extent do what he wants, but he's never indicated much of a nose for sniffing out interesting or challenging roles.

    Also, Evans is 43, RDJ is 59, Evans is the age now that RDJ was when he first played Iron Man so they are different stages of their career. I'd say Evans is quiet happy doing his indy films.

    I wouldn't be shocked to see Evans back in Secret Wars; either as a variant or they pull the OG Cap from the alt universe he spent his years in with Peggy. Probably doesn't need to pack on too much muscle as he could just be suited up for most of it.

    F*ck it, bring back Natasha too. Bring back everyone. Superimpose Jeremy Renner's head on a stuntman for the entire thing so he doesn't have to risk injury.

    Oh yeah the character has nowhere to go. But at this stage it's clear Marvel are happy enough to translate its tendancy in the comics to resurrect everyone & anyone, so I'd say never say never. Not least because there's Captain America Hydra sitting around waiting to be used, a multiverse evil Captain America and fat pay-cheque for Evans.

    I would have preferred a longer build up to Victor Von Doom - start referencing the country and its problematic leader, that sort of thing but I understand with Secret Wars you need him there ready to go.

    Will RDJ\Doom's role in MCU then only cover Doomsday and Secret Wars (end perhaps a post credit here\there) similar to Thanos? For such a big baddie, you'd think they would try to keep him around for a while as there are endless storylines they could go with. Having said thhat, I know it worked for Thanos when they did pretty much the exact same

    Mid credit cameo like Thanos did for his first appearance. Hell if they wanted to save money they could have a body double wearing the doom mask and not even show RDJ.
