Insider Rumors Hint at the Character with the Most Screen Time in ‘Avengers: Doomsday’

by

As a seasoned Marvel fan with over two decades of fandom under my belt, I must say that the recent news about Avengers: Doomsday has left me both intrigued and somewhat perplexed. The sudden shift from Kang Dynasty to Doctor Doom as the main antagonist was certainly unexpected, but it does open up a world of possibilities for storytelling.

The unexpected hit for Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) this year is now known as “Avengers: Doomsday,” previously titled “Avengers: Kang Dynasty.” However, with the departure of Jonathan Majors and the removal of Kang from the plotline, it was revealed at San Diego Comic-Con that the next Avengers movie will instead showcase a battle between Doctor Doom, played by Robert Downey Jr., and the MCU heroes.

As someone who has spent years studying history, I must admit that this recent revelation about the Kang Dynasty left me quite astonished. Throughout my career, I’ve built my understanding of history based on prior speculations and theories, but now it seems that all those assumptions have been wiped clean like a blank canvas. It’s an exciting time for scholars like myself because it means we get to re-examine the story and potentially uncover new insights about this fascinating era. The openness to speculation brings a sense of renewed curiosity and anticipation, as if I’m embarking on a new historical journey.

At present, there isn’t much officially confirmed detail about the movie beyond Robert Downey Jr.’s participation. But, more insights are emerging from recent reports. It appears that Daniel Richtman, a trusted figure in the industry with a reputation for leaks, has managed to uncover details on the film’s technical aspects.

Based on the current shooting plan, it appears that Robert Downey Jr.’s character, Doctor Doom, is likely to have a lot more scenes than most other characters in the film.

It appears that fresh insights about the upcoming movie ‘AVENGERS: DOOMSDAY’ have emerged:

It’s been announced that the shooting for “Avengers: Doomsday” is planned to start in March 2025. Robert Downey Jr. is likely to be there for roughly three months, while the principal cast will work for approximately a month. The supporting actors are set to film for one to two weeks, with the entire project expected to last around five months.

It’s been mentioned that viewers are puzzled because Robert Downey Jr. (RDJ) is scheduled to film for three months, while the principal cast members will be working for only a month. Yet, it’s important to note that this isn’t the first occasion where RDJ has shouldered the majority of the workload in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).

Looks like even in retirement, RDJ is still doing all the heavy lifting

From what we see in the schedule, roughly 70% of the movie seems dedicated to Doctor Doom’s storyline. Nevertheless, it’s worth mentioning that a production of this scale, typically, would take at least six months to complete. Here, the timeline is just five months, which is shorter than the industry norm.

This development has sparked worries among fans that the Marvel Cinematic Universe could potentially produce lower-quality computer-generated imagery (CGI), a complaint that the studio has encountered quite often in more recent times.

5 months for production 😬 that does have me very nervous with some of disneys rushed cgi lately..
