It was the information that despatched shockwaves all through the Marvel Cinematic Universe: Robert Downey Jr. was again — as Physician Doom as an alternative of Iron Man. The transfer was embraced by some followers, and immediately rejected by others.
Clearly, at this level, nobody has seen a single body of Downey as Doom. So it’s exhausting to know precisely how he’ll play the character and why.
