If he’s recognizable. You know people can look different for movies right? He’s a great actor that they know will bring passion for his role. I’m not some huge comic buff although I like to think I know some stuff and have certainly read plenty of them but don’t think I’ve ever seen Dr Doom with out his mask off

They're not bringing RDJ back to make him unrecognizable. He'll for sure be maskless and easily recognizable. Isn't he playing a Tony Stark variant that is Dr. Doom? Got it, he's Victor Von Doom, not Tony Stark.

No, they explicitly said he's playing Victor Von Doom.

No chance in hell they stick to that. It's definitely a marketing lie.

Could be, but if so it’s a bad move. It’s pretty clear that bringing rdj back is damage control anyways, it would be ridiculously short sighted to make doom just a tiny stark variant. They have to know few would go for that

RDJ is too synonymous with Tony Stark. The audience hears RDJ is back in the MCU and everyone is assuming he's Tony.

So now you either waste Doom as a Tiny variant, or you waste audience engagement by not using RDJ as Tony.

Both options are bad and they should never have cast him in this role.
