  - So, San Diego Comic Con happened recently,
• 0:08
  which I've never been to has always been on my bucket list.
• 0:11
  And, okay, so I was in my living room
• 0:14
  watching Love Island with Stephanie and Marissa and Jessica.
• 0:19
  And I'm also scrolling and I see that they announced
• 0:22
  who's gonna play Dr. Doom in the upcoming
• 0:27
  fantastic four movie, but more specifically,
• 0:29
  in Avengers 5, Doomsday.
• 0:32
  And I screamed so loud and ran to get my husband
• 0:36
  that they thought that like someone had died.
• 0:39
  - They were like, "I screampt."
• 0:40
  - Is she, "Oh, the scream that I screampt?"
• 0:43
  Dr. Doom is gonna be played by Robert.
• 0:45
  - Ooh.
• 0:48
  Ooh.
• 0:51
  He's coming back.
• 0:52
  He said, "I want that Marvel pay.
• 0:53
  I want that Marvel money, baby."
• 0:55
  And they said, "Shit's kind of going bad and Marvel.
• 1:00
  We need Marvel Jesus to come and revive this.
• 1:05
  I'm seeing you."
• 1:07
  So, Robert Downey Jr. is gonna play Dr. Doom
• 1:10
  in Avengers Doomsday, which was gonna be Kang Dynasty,
• 1:14
  but then Jonathan Majors is, can't lead the franchise anymore,
• 1:18
  'cause he got all those domestic assault charges.
• 1:20
  - So, Tim, interesting move for Robert Downey Jr.
• 1:23
  is career trajectory.
• 1:25
  - Because, of course, he was in the Marvel Universe
• 1:29
  for so long, and then you do a Christopher Nolan movie.
• 1:33
  You also like crush it.
• 1:35
  You would think he would wanna do more of those parts.
• 1:39
  - I think he will.
• 1:40
  I mean, he's such a talented actor.
• 1:43
  And I think that the MCU really kind of revived his career.
• 1:46
  I mean, he was, he was like down in his like,
• 1:50
  - Exactly.
• 1:51
  - No one wanted to insure that he could have a chance on him.
• 1:55
  But you would think moving past Marvel,
• 1:57
  or have they just either offered him a ton of money?
• 2:00
  - They offered him that shit ton of Hulk-sized Marvel money, baby.
• 2:04
  And I think he likes the Russo brothers,
• 2:06
  'cause they were the directors of the original Avengers films,
• 2:09
  which were the original Avengers movie, I should say,
• 2:12
  and like other Marvel movies, which were so successful.
• 2:15
  I think he just really likes working with them.
• 2:19
  And they were gonna come back to Doomsday.
• 2:22
  But I know I saw a lot of different reactions online.
• 2:25
  Most of them were excited and a lot of them were like,
• 2:28
  they know Marvel is like failing when they need to get
• 2:34
  fucking Tony Stark to play Doctor Doom.
• 2:36
  - Daddy, Iron Man, come back up.
• 2:37
  - Daddy, help.
• 2:39
  - Daddy, Iron.
• 2:41
  Please.
• 2:42
  - Please, Iron Daddy.
• 2:44
  - Well, I'm excited for you and the Marvel fandom
• 2:49
  and Robert Downey Jr.
• 2:51
  - Yeah, I'm excited for Robert Downey Jr. too.
• 2:54
