The Marvel Cinematic Universe has achieved its current achievements, and it played a good foundation role in the first film "Iron Man" released in 2008.
If this movie and the character of Iron Man fail, then the road ahead is not known what it will be like.
It's hard to imagine that it wasn't Robert Downey Jr. who put on the steel suit, but someone else, even though Marvel took a huge risk by choosing him that year.
But is it possible that before Iron Man, Marvel had noticed Downey and wanted him to play Dr. Doom?
In the recently released book Marvel Studios: The Making of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Iron Man director Jon Feiru revealed a message about the old casting.
According to him, Marvel has met with [Robert Downey Jr.] before and wants him to play Dr. Doom.
This may refer to the 2005 Peach version of the Fantastic Four movie. But at that time, because of the copyright problem of the role, there was no follow-up to this matter.
The final character of Dr. Doom in the 05 version of the Fantastic Four movie was Julian McMahon, who is also a very good actor.
In fact, I personally think that the old version of the "Fantastic Four" two-part series is quite good-looking eh, hahaha, probably the actors are crazy extra points.
After Marvel recovered the copyright, it has planned to restart this IP, and it is expected that the casting will look forward to the movie
