I wish they would have picked an actor new to MCU. It isn't like RDJ was just some small side character, or has some forgettable voice. Dr. Doom is pretty damn great, but instead you'll just hear Tony Starks voice.

In the comics, Dr. Doom and Tony Stark are actually heavily intertwined (there is actually a period where Victor von Doom takes up the reigns as Iron Man), and there is an alternate universe where Tony Stark is Dr. Doom. So it’s canon that in this case aligns really well to be a cash grab too.

I'm expecting heavy makeup and voice work

But even still, why bother? If Doctor Doom was always going to be 100% CGI, not as big of a deal. But the character can take off his suit of armor, and is a "leader" of a country. Argue, it just reeks of desperation on Marvel's part to capture some of the excitement RDJ used to generate for them in their hay day.

DOOM should never take off his mask.

I’m only aware of this by people discussing it on the internet, but this is so fucking stupid. I can’t believe they did that. And I can’t believe it’s now become an enlightened centrism thing where some people are pretending it’s okay. It’s utterly ridiculous.

A proper Dr. Doom movie would be great, but it absolutely must have some MF Doom references or maybe even an appearance in the soundtrack.

(from reddit) Dr. Doom was a prescient early feminist--the first to realize that "Fools!" is a completely gender-neutral way to address a room.
