@spidealist I find myself both nervous and excited. I have faith it can be pulled off but it often hasn’t. For now, the trailers look incredible and I’m cautiously optimistic.
@BigSwissCHH I think people have grown tired of this cultural cynicism. Though I have enjoyed the flawed hero and the sympathetic villain, I believe there’s a craving for the return of true heroes and true villains in cinema.
@1cinematiczone What Marvel Studios did with Iron Man is incredible. Turning a B-List hero to the face of the MCU was something special. My vote would be him.
@lunwi75 Interesting take. I think I agree with this. Looking back I do wish they would’ve implemented Avengers movies along the way instead of holding off.
@RED__616 I think that just plays more into the joke. The Fox X-Men movies’ timeline is all jacked up. This gag certainly isn’t meant to be taken seriously.
@spidealist This being said, I’m still ecstatic we’re getting Doom in the MCU in a grand fashion. I look forward to seeing Doomsday in December and see what the Russo’s are up to despite my qualms with RDJ’s initial casting.
@spidealist RDJ is an incredible actor whose presence as a leading man in the MCU is missed. No doubt he has the chops for a role like Dr. Doom.
However, I’m unsure how to feel. Doom is such an iconic character that I think deserves his own face, untied to any previous in the MCU.
@MemeOfSteel_ I’m honestly not sure yet. Been hearing so many rumors for a while now on who’s gonna be the big bad. I’m cool with waiting when the movie comes out at this point.
@DoomBlazer_ My thoughts as well. The parallels between Banner and Dr. Connors make Bruce a good replacement for this storyline. Also, we’re getting a raging Hulk back which is what fans have been wanting. It’s a “kill two birds with one stone” kind of scenario.
@CinemaSupreme Mr. Negative would’ve been cool but I I can get why they’re bringing in Jean Grey for this film. As far as the Lizard goes, we got that character in No Way Home. It would’ve seemed redundant to have him in this film. Hulk is a smart move given the circumstances.
