Marvel had a tough trick to pull off last year and dealt with the situation admirably. I’m talking about the Jonathan Majors problem that had a massive impact on the remainder of the Multiverse Saga. The actor was supposed to play Kang, the main villain of Avengers 5 and Avengers 6.
Following his legal issues, Marvel parted ways with Majors. That wasn’t surprising. What was surprising is that Marvel didn’t immediately explain whether it would recast the role or change the Avengers movies. The latter seemed daunting, but that’s the trick Marvel pulled off brilliantly.
Kevin Feige and Co. got the Russos brothers back to direct the next Avengers movies. The studio changed the Avengers 5 title to Doomsday to make it clear this wouldn’t be a Kang story. But the best part is that Marvel brought Robert Downey Jr. back to the MCU. The actor would play Doctor Doom instead of Iron Man, however.
Only one problem remained: Unlike Kang, Doctor Doom didn’t have a presence in the Multiverse Saga. With only a handful of movies before Doomsday premieres, RDJ cameos should be expected everywhere, especially in The Fantastic Four: First Steps, where it makes the most sense.
But will we see RDJ in this year’s Fantastic Four? We have no confirmations, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach isn’t ready to tell. The Bear star who plays The Thing in the Marvel reboot was asked this question specifically and refused to answer. Before I tell you more, you should know that big spoilers might follow.
