Jeff Goldblum, known for his role as the Grandmaster in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, has reacted positively to the news of Robert Downey Jr.’s return as Doctor Doom. Goldblum, during a recent interview, expressed his enthusiasm for Downey’s comeback, calling it “excellent news.” He also took a moment to appreciate the character’s name, “Victor von Doom,” musing that if he had such a name, his career might have taken a different trajectory. Goldblum’s reaction is indicative of the excitement and curiosity that Downey’s return has generated among fans and fellow actors alike.
Robert Downey Jr.’s return to the MCU as Doctor Doom has been a topic of much discussion. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter’s Awards Chatter podcast, Downey shared insights into the decision-making process behind his return. He revealed that the idea was first discussed a year ago during conversations with Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige. Downey and Feige have maintained a close relationship, and the actor had initially approached Disney CEO Bob Iger with an idea for involvement outside the cinematic universe, related to Disney parks and location-based entertainment. However, discussions with Feige eventually led to the idea of Downey reprising his role in the MCU, but this time as the iconic villain Doctor Doom.
Downey’s return as Doctor Doom is seen as a strategic move by Marvel to continue pushing the boundaries of their cinematic universe. Feige’s suggestion to “get Victor von Doom right” reflects the studio’s commitment to delivering a fresh and compelling portrayal of the character. This decision aligns with Marvel’s history of reinventing characters and storylines to meet the expectations of their audience while introducing new narratives. Downey’s involvement, given his previous success as Iron Man, is expected to bring a new dynamic to the character of Doctor Doom, potentially setting the stage for a new era in the MCU.
