I know they’re not gonna hide RDJ’s face but what if his face gets disfigured in the film so then they kinda do something like the comics. I doubt it’ll happen but it’s a hopediction
It’s going to be very scarred. Downey chose the role to look and sound different.
pedroktp2026-01-01 11:01
I dont believe for a second that he's going very scared
AmishAvenger2026-01-01 12:26
I’m pretty sure he chose the role to make a fuck ton of cash
artfrche2026-01-01 12:50
really? at this point you’re still stuck on this? Move on, seriously… That man has made millions just with Endgame alone
Dyshviccer2026-01-01 13:17
And of course rich people are known for never being greedy and wanting more. They’re so modest
ElectricBanker2026-01-01 13:45
And lost a good chunk on dolittle
Sal_Paradise812026-01-01 15:27
Dude he literally has a flotilla of trailers, a TEAM of personal chefs, and a personal space curated with Warhol paintings. Tell me again about how it’s not about the money 😂
warzone_afro2026-01-01 21:50
thats why he acts for free just for the art now
PotentialAnt96702026-01-05 01:11
With millions more on the way!
phenomenomnom2026-01-01 22:09
It can be more than one thing.
HearTheEkko2026-01-01 13:41
If you think they paid nearly $100 million to not show RDJ’s face I got a bridge to sell to you.
Viktor and Tony looking the same will be important to the story.
MarvelMind2026-01-01 17:35
You can have a very scarred face and still resemble a famous one. Has happened tons of times in cinema.
YESRedbone2026-01-01 18:10
Exactly. Victor and Tony having the same face won't just be some coincidence that's never brought up.
PotentialAnt96702026-01-05 01:12
"Look, it's me. I'm Doom. Deal with it. Let's move on."
asspastass2026-01-01 15:36
You say this so confidently despite this havent been confirmed
Just for reference, Thanos face and voice(different actor) was revealed 6 years before his film.
We are 1 year away from doomsday and still haven't seen dooms face or heard his voice.
MarvelMind2026-01-01 21:16
Which doesn’t mean anything or disprove anything I said.
asspastass2026-01-01 21:59
You said "It's going to be very scarred." That's framed like a fact over an opinion/theory.
You said something that is your opinion/theory as fact. Which can create misconceptions about the film and lead to disappointment if people believe something will happen but doesn't.
MarvelMind2026-01-01 22:18
Remind later this year when that isn’t the case.
asspastass2026-01-01 22:31
Considering they didnt do this for the most disfigugured character in Marvel, Deadpool.
Deadpool looks far more like a burn victim with world class reconstructive surgery over a rotting corpse with open sores and wounds covering majority of his body he is regularly shown to be in the comics.
Another example is Walton Goggins as The Ghoul. Who not only looks far better than video game ghouls, but other non-leading ghouls in the very same show.
It's unlikely they will do it with RDJ's Doom
MarvelMind2026-01-01 23:24
Both roles & actors you just mentioned are visibly very scarred regardless of how recognizable you still find the actors. It will be no different for Downey as Doom either.
asspastass2026-01-01 23:32
If people are regularly making thirst traps about these character that go viral and the actors are still highly recognizable by design. They are by definition not 'heavily scarred.'
They are most likely not going to go anywhere near the disfigurment Doom had in [Secret Wars #3](https://www.reddit.com/r/FantasticFour/s/VqwQMjlc7R) or the biomechanical horror of [Books Of Doom #6](https://www.reddit.com/r/comicbooks/s/e0cqZ6Kodw)
MarvelMind2026-01-02 00:53
Nope. They are very scarred, that doesn’t prevent being recognizable unless your confusing the meaning.
asspastass2026-01-02 01:03
No, you just confuse 'hollywood esthetically pleasing scarring' for 'very scarred.' They are objectively not the same thing.
DJfunkyPuddle2026-01-01 07:17
We're never going to see his face so we never have to deal with the "Tony" issue
joeesmhoo2026-01-01 08:09
If you think they paid Robert Downey millions on millions of dollars to not show his face you are crazy lol. He’s making over 100 million 😂😂
DJfunkyPuddle2026-01-01 08:17
Oh it's just wishful thinking, I'm not particularly interested in Tony as Doom

I’m sorry…”deserves every penny”? Listen, I think it’s fine that he’s playing Doom. And if Disney wants to spend $100mil on that, fine, that’s their money. But don’t go throwing around phrases that would imply that any performer deserves the absurd amounts of money they’re getting paid to do something with no lasting impact on society. The only reason actors get paid the inordinate amounts they do is because we, as a society, have decided that distraction and spectacle are far more valuable to us than progress, personal liberty, or survival as a species. Teachers, farmers, folks who maintain infrastructure. THOSE people deserve to get paid according to the very real, indispensable services they provide, not some nepo baby playing a comic book villain. 🙄
Edboy7962026-01-01 15:46
I hear you, my point was more that he's an expensive actor and Disney just decided to invest in bring this expensive actor back, and a lot of other characters from stuff that's been done and is being brought back, X-Men for example. If he's got the chops for it, he can play a different character than just Tony Stark. I'm not saying "screw humanity and all its struggles, give this one man all the money in the world," that's not at all what I was getting at. If it came off that way to you, I didn't mean it that way.
If I'm an actor and being paid that much for a different character after a previous tenure as a certain character, I'd only agree to it if the story is written well and makes sense, and if I'm challenged and challenge myself to play something far different than what I did before..
That was my point. I'm not saying he as an actor deserves more than people in other industries that are systematically underpaid and screwed over.
I'm just sharing my take on what what I feel would work. I know nothings guaranteed so if it happens it happens, if it doesn't oh well. They made an investment and are leaning on nostalgia and bringing actors back whose contracts have ended already because Disney/Marvel hasn't been as fairly consistent in quality as the first few phases have been.
If you don't like the guy as an actor, a human being or whatever, that's fine, fair enough. Marvel wouldn't have become what it has without him as part of the universe if Iron Man didn't do as well as it did to kick things off.
But okay, blow one bit of my entire comment out of proportion and context.
Perhaps what I could have said is if Disney is investing this much on an actor, there should be a payoff in something far better than Tony Stark and Victor Doom are the same person because the same actor is back
JazzmatazZ42026-01-01 10:07
They paid for his name if anything
TarnishedAccount2026-01-01 11:22
As long as it’s Reed’s fault, I’ll be happy
BlargerJarger2026-01-01 12:16
His face will start out heavily scarred then, at end of Doomsday, he’ll gain ultimate power, heal his face, and The Avengers will all gasp because he looks like Tony Stark.
fitzbuhn2026-01-01 15:08
It’s not bad
Coilspun2026-01-01 12:38
He will be recognisable.
Jameson_Z2026-01-01 14:16
Was Franklin touching and healing his face in the end credits of F4? He may have already been healed
patnodewf2026-01-01 14:32
RDJ doesn't seem like he's got the type of personality who's okay with simultaneously being in the spotlight and hiding his face behind makeup or prosthetics. That's the only thing that bugs tf outta me with him being in this role.
RDJ is no Walton Goggins
SonOfElDopo2026-01-01 20:48
Walton Sanders Goggins Jr. Put some respeck on his name!
SendThisVoidAway182026-01-01 14:50
Being Dr Doom and the events that.. Led him to being Dr Doom, I'm assuming his face in terms of physical appearance isn't going to be in the most pristine condition
wararyuu2026-01-01 15:15
I bet he'll be scared and look close to what Tony's face looked like at the end of Endgame.
Stuck1nARutt2026-01-01 17:04
I dont think Doom is afraid of anything
wararyuu2026-01-01 17:13
Scarred*
Alone_Banana_35202026-01-01 19:17
We’ll see his face once or twice. Most of the film will be another actor with Downey’s voice. They did this before. Easy money for him.
Windst2026-01-01 19:17
Hope he doesn’t have Tony’s voice
Careless_Royal82092026-01-01 20:02
He’s gonna say, “I hate you 3, 000!” and I’m gonna walk out of the theatre!
