Jon Favreau has confirmed that Robert Downey Jr. almost played a totally different Marvel role. The actor debuted as Iron Man in 2008, and played the hero all the way up to 2019's 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Avengers: Endgame. 

In the book 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Marvel Studios: The Making of the Marvel Cine😼matic Universe by Tara Bennett and Paul Terry, released in 2021, Favreau mentioned that Downey had a meeting with Marvel about the possibility of pla🐲ying Doctor Doom (H/T ). 

to mark 15 years of Iron Man, Favreau and Feige recalled the story. "I remember that Robert had come in for a general [audition] on it, and I remember you had all met with him already for Doctor Doom or something on another project. I think he had come through on maybe Fantastic Four," commented Favreau, with Feige adding: "Right, right." 

Doctor Doom is typically a 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Fantastic Four villain who wears a distinctive metal mask. He h𒁏as yet to be introduced in the MCU, though he's been played before in Fox's Fantastic Four movies by Julian McMahon and Toby Kebbe꧃ll. 

It's difficult to imagine Downey Jr. as anyone but Tony Stark, though we can't deny that we're intrigued as to how he would have played as🔯 chilling a villain as Doctor Doom.
