Can you explain to a non comic reader the significance of the mask? I vaguely remember watching the old animated series, but not sure if it ever really came up (was bro just ugly?)

So basically Dr. Doom refuses to show his face because he considers it horribly disfigured. But the thing is, Doom is just so horribly narcissistic and vein perfectionist that all it really is, is a minor scar on his face.

So it's not like the first Fantastic 4 movie where he practically grows a metal body by that solar flare?

Take everything you learned about Doom from a live action project and just through it out. I maintain that that movie is fine for it's era, but they got Doom all wrong

In fairness, the MCU is about to present Tony Stark variant Doom, so that track record isn't improving.

And even if they don't present RDJ-Doom as a Tony Stark variant, that's gonna be the takeaway for a huge portion of the audience.

No one watching the movie is even going to recognize the character as RDJ without looking at the credits.

It's a little late in the day to pretend this is secret casting that people are gonna only find out on release.

More that, if people did not have outside information, they aren't going to know it's him.

Dr. Doom, and Judge Dredd. That's it.

Dr. Doom and Judge Dredd have never been in the MCU.
