That Academy Award winning actor approached one of the biggest studios for a role, got the role, has been played around with for 5+ years, only for the studio to double down on nostalgia bullshit & use the character in slop with the actor that everyone prefers in the role anyway

Do we not see how crazy that is?

We’re less than two years away from Doomsday and Marvel has its work cut out.

You’re saying this like the only options were RDJ or an unproven nobody.

There are plenty of established high caliber actors who would’ve been great in the role, Cillian Murphy being at the top of that list

thunderbolts gonna be so boring man

I don’t think he’s playing Tony I think he’s fully and earnestly playing Victor but he’s playing RDJ too if you get me. In Secret Wars we’ll learn that he was essentially playing RDJ as Tony Stark. This same guy was probably RDJ as Steve Jobs in another universe

Are we still even getting Strange 3? I was ready for that

It’s like you’re just trying to tell Mahershala that he’s gonna fail at the role anyway & to let it go atp

Think he's moreso saying why the Downey decision makes sense rather than saying it HAD to be him.

Bro even going by that logic he's still appearing in an Avengers movie where the brand name is strong alone cuz there hasn't been a publicly trashed Avengers movie ever. All of them have been received well and made mad money.

Y'all think the general public gives a f*** when they just want to be entertained??

F4 has to be a banger. That movie is going to be key to setting up A5

cast another actor then, s***s just gonna confuse ppl

“ lore”

Nigga people going for the memes these villain backstories writing are always dog s***

Heath joker on screen what a hour max asking over and over you want to know how I got these scars and clears 99% of villains sense

Stop lying to yourself like it couldn’t have been a new actor with good writing

Tbh I’m surprised he’s still attached

Would love to see him as Blade but they been doing my boy dirty

Regardless of what Chris Evans says, I’d be surprised if he doesn’t come back for Secret Wars just so everyone can see him and RDJ on opposites but with RDJ as Tony Von Doom

Also people are out here saying Feige's doing the to try and "revive" the MCU as if Deadpool & Wolverine isn't about to make over $200M in its domestic opening weekend.

Quality is one thing but box office wise the only real miss they've had is The Marvels

He needs to live out that blockbuster dream over at DCU

There’s no other way, this one really gotta drive it home

None of these explanations make sense

Need to see this teased in the next What If

Martian Manhunter

RDJ coming back felt like it was coming after that Deadpool cameo tbh

400 mil opening weekend worldwide at least I think.

They completely f***ed all of this. Could built doom properly over years on front street in the open. Him being Tony stark variant is weird cuz you use up consumer mindshare by watering down his story right now. Post reboot, when they tell the true victor story will audience feel fatigued?

Actually hard af

440-450 worldwide it looks like
