That seems like something they should’ve waited to reveal during the movie, like had some misdirection about RDJ just being in it for a flashback or a recorded video, just downplay it and make it seem small. Then bust the revelation out midway through the movie.
I’m sure they considered that possibility. But imagine the revenue. RDJ and Doom are both huge draws. Revealing them both in advance gets you more makes money gesture
I found this post browsing All. I have had significant superhero fatigue right after infinity war part 2, after a whole decade of mild disbelief at how huge these once-niche characters have become.
This headline definitely grabbed my attention, and as you said, the fact that they’re spoiling that he’s going to play Doom is why I checked this thread.
revealing them both
Even mentioning them as separate things wouldn’t have made me look. Their marketing machine is definitely working overtime to get the attention of people burned out on superhero movies.

I haven’t consumed a single piece of Marvel content since Endgame, and this announcement does nothing for me. The marketing machine needs to step up its game.
I don’t understand how two people commenting “this announcement does not make me want to see the movie it’s announcing” means the “marketing machine is working overtime”. That seems like a marketing failure to me.

I haven’t either, and here we both are commenting on it. That’s what I mean.

but you can do that in other ways in-universe as they did with thanos and other upcoming characters. its very un-marvel.
Now we can make money and make a shitty movie.
I guess, that was not an option after all the data leaked from Disney🤔
