Don Cheadle’s Reaction to Robert Downey Jr. Becoming Doctor Doom
Don Cheadle, best known as War Machine in the MCU, recently shared his surprising reaction to Robert Downey Jr.’s return to the franchise as Doctor Doom. Having worked closely with RDJ since Iron Man 2, Cheadle was stunned to learn that his co-star would be stepping into a new role as the infamous Marvel villain. Fans have long associated Downey with Iron Man, so his casting as Doctor Doom brings an unexpected twist to the MCU’s future. Here is what Cheadle said about RDJ as Doctor Doom in his interview with Collider:
“I was like, ‘What the f*ck? They’re rewriting, they’re reworking, and so I honestly can’t even tease anything.”
With Robert Downey Jr. now confirmed to play Doctor Doom, there’s a lot of speculation about how this could change War Machine’s story. Previously, the MCU had set the stage for Don Cheadle’s character to explore Tony Stark’s legacy in upcoming projects like Ironheart and Armor Wars. However, RDJ’s return as a villain could potentially shift the focus of these stories or even result in some changes to the original plans. This raises questions about War Machine’s role moving forward, especially with major films like Avengers: Secret Wars on the horizon.
