Gwyneth Paltrow Is Also Confused About Robert Downey Jr. Playing Doctor Doom
Marvel's decision to bring back Robert Downey Jr. to play Doctor Doom was met with applause, backlash, and confusion, including from Gwyneth Paltrow.
The most stunning news to come out of Comic-Con thus far was the Marvel Cinematic Universe bringing back Robert Downey Jr. to play Doctor Doom in a pair of upcoming Avengers films. The decision to recast the actor, one of the MCU’s biggest stars, as one of its greatest villains was met with applause, backlash, and even confusion, including from Downey Jr.’s Iron Man co-star Gwyneth Paltrow. It’s currently unclear what Marvel’s plans are with Downey Jr.’s Doctor Doom, whether he’s an evil multiverse version of his trademark Tony Stark or if he’ll play a Victor Von Doom that happens to bear a strong likeness to the man in the Iron Man suit; various comic book series allow for either possibility.
