On a hilarious note, considering the actors’ reaction to Robert Downey Jr’s Doctor Doom, we can only imagine how each of their characters might react in the upcomingAvengersmovies. It seems Marvel might have the scope to include some Deadpool-like humor in the upcoming films. While it might be emotionally draining to watch Downey Jr. in his baddie era, let’s imagine how few of the Avengers might react.
Beginning with Spider-Man, who considered Tony Stark as his mentor and father figure, we believe Robert Downey Jr’s return as Doctor Doom might leave somepsychological impact on the web-slinger. Followed by Thor, all we can do is hope that he doesn’t break open Doom’s skull with Mjölnir. As for Bruce Banner, given that he’s a man of science, we believe thecharacter might be both intriguedand analytical about Downey Jr’s new character.
In the end, MCU’s next chapters seem unpredictable and promising, considering all the thrills that are waiting. Only time will tell, whether Robert Downey Jr’s Doctor Doom will be a game-changer, or it will mark the beginning of the end. So buckle up, Marvel fans – the road toAvengers: DoomsdayandAvengers: Secret Warsis shaping up to be a wild one.
