Sebastian Stan Reveals How They Tricked Everyone with Downey’s Doctor Doom Reveal at Comic-Con

by

As a gamer who’s been through countless plot twists in games like Red Dead Redemption and The Witcher, I can confidently say that Marvel’s Comic-Con reveal was a masterclass in surprise storytelling. It was a moment reminiscent of the time I thought I had found all the collectibles in a game only to discover there was one more hidden away.

multiple times in the past, Fiction Horizon has shared news about how Robert Downey Jr’s portrayal of Doctor Doom at this year’s Comic-Con was predicted to be the biggest bomb in the entertainment industry for the year, and it indeed lived up to that expectation. The discussion surrounding it and its impacts are still ongoing, even among members of the Marvel Cinematic Universe themselves.

In a chat with Josh Horowitz, actor Sebastian Stan discussed various aspects of his career, personal aspirations, some lighthearted subjects, and his upcoming ventures, predominantly “The Apprentice” where he takes on the character of Donald Trump, and “Thunderbolts”, a project that brings him back into the role of Bucky Barnes.

And while the interview as a whole is definitely very, very interesting, we have found out one moment that we wanted to report on, and it is related to the revelation that Downey would be back to the MCU, but this time as Doctor Doom. What did Stan say? Keep reading to find out!

As a gamer, I can’t help but notice the massive fan love for Sebastian Stan, particularly after his MCU role. Though Bucky might be a secondary character in the MCU, he’s grown into a well-rounded figure thanks to some unforgettable moments. It’s no wonder fans adore him! Naturally, he’s sought after, so it’s not surprising that Horowitz had an extensive chat with him. Among the topics they discussed was Stan’s big reveal at Comic-Con alongside Downey Jr., which left quite an impact.

If you’re having trouble opening the video but can’t wait to learn about the event, I’ve provided a written summary (transcription) for your convenience.

I recently chatted with Elizabeth Olsen. I asked her about the surprise announcement made by Robert Downey Jr. at Comic-Con. Given that you were also there, I assume you had an inkling something like this was going to happen. Was your knowledge of the event restricted to when you arrived in San Diego, or did you receive a prior hint that Downey was returning?

Upon arrival, you’re guided to a small, green gathering spot where everyone is present. It’s somewhat reminiscent of a high school reunion, as you take in the familiar faces and exclaim, “Wow, Anthony, you’ve certainly changed over time.” There was a hushed buzz among the crowd, and someone asked, “Guess who’s here?” At first, I didn’t believe it when I heard… Judy Dench? Even then, I couldn’t quite fathom it.

JH: She’s Galactus! I knew it!

SS: I… I don’t know, I mean… it could have been anybody, you know, but I… and I had no idea until… um, until that mask came off, and I remember we were standing there, and I was like: ‘This is insane.’ I… I know this is crazy, and I know this is not happening, but it is happening, and it’s the only way it could ever happen, um…

JH: Do you know… have you asked Downey or Russos? I mean… I mean you must, like, have some Intel…

Response: I didn’t interact with them at all, honestly. Robert seemed to be nowhere to be found, not even in the green room or any other place. It’s a mystery how they managed to get him inside since nobody saw him. Since no one spotted him without the costume, it appears he must have worn it the entire time.

It’s clear that the Downey revelation took everyone by surprise, and Marvel handled that unexpected twist exceptionally well!
