The history of the Marvel films could be completely different. Robert Downey Jr negotiated to play Doctor Doometernal antagonist Fantastic Four. Had he been given the role, he most likely would not have been cast as Tony Stark/Iron Man in the 2008 film that launched the most successful film franchise in history.
This came to light in a conversation between Kevin Feigepresident of Marvel Studios and John Favreaudirector, about the process of creating Hombre de Hierro (2008). Both explained the huge importance that Robert Downey Jr. was the actor chosen to play the title character and that none of this would have happened if the actor had stayed with Doctor Doom.
The rapprochement between the actor and the studio was before the start of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. At the time, the rights to the characters were owned by Fox, who made two versions Fantastic Four. Two feature films in 2005 and 2007 to make later reload which premiered in 2015 to a terrible reception.
During the conversation, Jon Favreau explains that when he first saw Robert Downey Jr, he knew that Kevin Feige had previously dated the actor in Doctor Doom or Something. This has already been mentioned earlier in 2021, but the President of Marvel Studios for the first time Confirm History.
Making Robert Downey Jr. Tony Stark/Iron Man is one of the best decisions in Hollywood history.
During the same conversation between Jon Favreau and Kevin Feige, the latter explains that getting Robert Downey Jr. to become Tony Stark/Iron Man was one of the best decisions in Hollywood history.
“I think this is one of the best decisions in the history of Hollywood. We all have good days and bad days, but I remember saying to Robert: [Downey Jr]A: We wouldn’t be doing all this if it wasn’t for you. There wouldn’t be a studio if it wasn’t for you or John. [Favreau]”.
Finally, Robert Downey Jr. was not cast as Doctor Doom, perhaps in the 2005 and 2007 films, but he ended up being the actor chosen to play one of the most important superheroes on the big screen.
Said that. There is a movie actor Fantastic Four from 2005 to 2007 that made it into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Chris Evanswho played Johnny Storm/Human Torch but later became Steve Rogers/Captain America. Of course, in 2011, when studies had already taken shape and were moving in the right direction.
