While on the one hand, we have reason to fear the return of Robert Downey Jr. as Fatalis, on the other hand, this bold casting could well solve a problem for the MCU. He is neither the first nor the last Marvel Studios actor to embody two characters, and the presence of RDJ behind the mask of this famous villain could prove beneficial for the next Avengers.
a very useful mask
The return of their brightest star, Robert Downey Jr., to their cinematic universe, should allow Marvel Studios to avoid at least one problem inAvengers: Doomsday.Of course, the decision to bring back the Iron Man actor in a new role, that of Doctor Doom, will have repercussions on the MCU for years to come, and will be difficult to manage in itself. However, the fact that it is this particular antagonist allows us to get around a major pitfall: as ScreenRant points out, he wears a mask that covers his entire face, and does not allow us to know who is underneath!

However, in the case of Robert Downey Jr., spectators will know that it is the star who hides behind the armor of Doom, but not the superheroes of Earth-616 who have known Iron Man. Kevin Feige therefore has all the cards in hand to choose the moment when; his identity will be revealed (if it is revealed). This moment should be the climax of the Multiverse Saga, and will also allow, for once, an MCU protagonistto keep his mask and his identity secret, something that until now, this universe has had difficulty understanding. do.
And you, what do you think?
