why?

>>149543976 (OP)
I like to imagine when they did the reveal that everybody just booed his ass off stage

Bro you know as well as I that they were just soi-pogging their lungs out.
You have to be a special level of consoomer to go to one of those events.

>>149543976 (OP)
Because they have to make the same five people the complete center of the universe, so Dr. Doom is in fact just another universe's version of the ultra genius Tony Stark.

>>149544056
oh I saw it when it happened but in a better, more pure world, they would've made him have a panic attack on stage from the sheer embarrassment of being universally booed.

>>149543976 (OP)
Because they need to rely on nostalgia to get money. Heck, Feige has been coping lately saying Doom was always the big guy for these phases and they were going to get rid of Kang.

The REAL reason is that Jonathan Majors lit his career on fire by being an abuser, so all their original plans for the next decade went up in smoke. RDJ as Doom was a desperate fallback option.

Serious question: how hard would it have been to find a Romani actor who could make a convincing Doom?

>>149545241
Very hard since that would require one to work a job.
Joking aside, any south east European country could have worked.
I'm they have some good actors.

>>149545326
I'm sure they have some good actors.*

Money.

My honest theory is the Russos were not gonna do the next Avengers movie and they were offered to come back, they probably agreed on the condition they could do whatever they wanted, Downey Jr probably also agreed to return if they let him do whatever, and everyone probably agreed Doctor Doom would be awesome and and Downey was probably vain enough to suggest himself for it
>b-but everyone thinks of you as tony stark and you look nothing like Victor Von Doom
>BRILLIANT! Just write that into the plot!
expectation le subverted

>You look nothing like a guy who spends 99.9% of his time in a mask and has had different reasons why over the years!

I remember when Doom had a small scar on his cheek that he felt made him hideous. I remember when Doom had the mask burned onto his face and he was unable to take it off. I remember when he had horrific burns. It's shifted over the years.

Desperation.

>>149545241
Not very. Robert Eggers found a dozen of them for Nosferatu. Marvel found a deaf native american with a prosthetic leg for Echo. They just didn't care for Doom.

Isn't this only for Doomsday/Secret Wars and then they're going to cast a new one going forward?

>>149545241
If what I said is the case, I hope they go with a Romani actor going forward.

>>149543976 (OP)
Feige said something indirectly about Kang not working out, so they probably just fished for the next Avengers level threat/event, settled on Doom and decided to double tap by using the face of the prior big phase protag since he's not doing Iron Man.

>>149544830
In a better world, it wouldn't have happened in the first place.

What's funny about Kang is that he was made into the next big bad in the middle of production of Quantumania, Marvel execs were so impressed by Majors that they thought he could carry a phase, Kang was originally supposed to just be the bad guy for Ant-Man 3.

>>149546743
Technically he was just the villain for Loki, He Who Remains (a role they originally wanted to give to Giancarlo Esposito) but they liked his performance that they made him into Kang and then the villain for the entire Multiverse Saga
