Casting Robert Downey, Jr. as Doctor Doom Was Kevin Feige’s Decades-Long Dream

According to a recent biography of Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige, Feige has been actively searching for the perfect role for Robert Downey Jr. to return to the MCU after his iconic portrayal of Iron Man. While a return as Iron Man is off the table, Feige reportedly believes Downey Jr. is such an integral part of Marvel's DNA that he should come back in a different role. The article specifically mentions Doctor Doom in the upcoming Fantastic Four movie as a potential, albeit unconfirmed, casting choice. This suggests that Marvel is exploring ways to re-integrate Downey Jr. into the MCU beyond simply recasting him as Iron Man.
