Robert Downey Jr. as Doctor Doom is the best choice out of all the actors who have been a major part of the MCU.
Robert Downey Jr. as Doctor Doom is the best choice of all the actors who have been a significant part of the MCU. I was familiar with Robert Downey Jr.’s work in film long before he first portrayed Iron Man and became a central figure in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). I can envision Robert Downey Jr. portraying Doctor Doom with the dramatic, serious, and complex acting nuances characteristic of his acting prowess. Robert Downey Jr. is an Academy Award-winning actor in Hollywood who has never shied away from challenging roles, demonstrating his mettle as a veteran actor. Naturally, he wants to be Doctor Doom or would not have accepted the role.
The way I see it, Robert Downey Jr. was cast to portray Doctor Doom because of his star power, his connection to moviegoers, and his status as the most popular actor in the MCU—and it all started with him because of Iron Man. So, everything connects, everything makes sense, and everything is justified.
From what I can sense, Robert Downey Jr. has something special in store for moviegoers with his depiction of one of the oldest and most recognized Marvel supervillains since the 60s. Doctor Doom is one of the archenemies of The Fantastic Four, the Avengers, and other staple teams and superheroes. Doctor Doom is a master strategist and brilliant tactician, and he commands one of the largest armies of robots, all of which he created and designed. Doctor Doom has always been one of the toughest supervillains for any Marvel comic book character to face, which is why a team of superheroes, such as the Avengers, is needed.
