Still no Squirrel Girl movie :(
Robert Downey Jr. returning to the MCU to play Dr. Doom.
Heaviest of sighs.

I had to see it to believe it. Seems like not bad casting though??
I hate it.
Iâll be there opening night.

This is so crazy it just might work? Dr. Doom kinda has to be a camp character, Downey can bring that energy.

I really wouldnât have a bad thing to say against it if this was RDJâs initial entrance into the MCU. Heâs a very enjoyable actor to watch. I hope I enjoy it, because Iâm not going to be able to stay away. But I hate wrapping up his story as Tony Stark across numerous movies so beautifully and then bringing him back in this way.

One terrible rumor on Reddit is that this will be an evil Tony Stark variant. But I donât think theyâll go that direction.
Kind of feels like they have to do something like that though? Can they really have the biggest actor who played the biggest character in the MCU for a decade just play a different character in that same MCU? I feel like there would have to be some explanation in the movie.

Itâs easy if they begin with him being disfigured.
Reynolds made it huge, just like with RDJ and Iron Man.
Batman and Spiderman are super dependable, beyond that you need some casting/script

Its also just tough to introduce new mcu characters because you need a convoluted explanation for wvt they werenât involved the past 30 films. It does remind me of this amazing post though

This isnât a movie. Itâs a masturbatory meta clip show of endless âhey remember this!â âHow about thisâ. âWasnât this coolâ. There is no attempt to even try to make an actual movie here. Itâs also the least R rated R rated film ever made. It has a lot of fake blood. Thatâs it.
I liked the first one of this series because it knew how dumb superhero movies are. This one has lost all its bite and is just a YouTube clip show of âcoolâ moments from the previous 812,000 MCU films.
Grade: C
Of course, it looks like it will make a gazillion dollars.
