Going into this year’s San Diego Comic-Con, the general consensus among fans and industry onlookers was that Kevin Feige would surely be making some big announcements – not just after a quiet 2023, but also because of the increasing chatter about the MCU losing its groove.
And, well, Feige definitely had one huge reveal in store for us in Hall H on Saturday night: as you have no doubt heard by now, Robert Downey, Jr. is returning to the MCU, not as Tony Stark or Iron Man, but rather as the highly anticipated Fantastic Four villain Doctor Doom. And he will be the centerpiece of the next Avengers movie, Avengers: Doomsday, the sequel formerly known as Avengers: The Kang Dynasty.
Fan reaction to the news has been mixed so far. And we have to wonder – is Downey, Jr.’s return a feat of creative genius on the part of Kevin Feige, or a Hail Mary Pass? Is it too little too late? Let’s look at why Marvel’s Comic-Con news was huge, but also somehow still a disappointment. And what that might say about us, the fans…
It’s been about five years since Robert Downey, Jr. left the MCU after the death of Iron Man in 2019’s almost universally praised Avengers: Endgame. It will have been six years by the time The Fantastic Four: First Steps, as the MCU movie is now called, is released in 2025, and where he will presumably show up in some capacity. On the one hand, that’s a fairly long stretch to have had no RDJ in the shared universe that he helped build, but on the other, there’s a whiff of desperation to this whole thing that can’t help but diminish the excitement over the news. (And of course I use “desperation” liberally, as we are talking about very, very rich people here.)
A lot of fans seem to feel the same way. We’ve got a poll running on IGN.com asking if Downey’s casting as Doctor Doom was the right move by Marvel. As of this recording, 75,000 users have responded and about 56% of them said no. Our YouTube poll has about 55 thousand votes with a 62% negative response rate. And our Twitter poll adds another 20k of votes, with 54% percent of responses being no’s.
Of course, negative reactions to casting in a superhero movie is nothing new. Just ask Michael Keaton. But I can’t help but wonder if there’s something more going on here.
