Robert Downey Jr. is back in the MCU as Doctor Doom, and Marvel reportedly paid close to $100 million to make it happen.

In this episode, I break down:

  • The scrapped Avengers: Kang Dynasty script following Jonathan Majors' exit

  • Why RDJ’s new Marvel contract only covers two movies

  • The impossible choice Marvel faces when Doom takes off his mask

  • What happens when his deal runs out right after Secret Wars in 2027

Is this a genius fix for the MCU's villain problem, or an expensive way to delay a bigger one? Let me know your thoughts in the comments!
