365 Avengers: Doomsday trailer discussion

But getting to this trailer, Paul, you mentioned it, and we got to start with it, right? He's the guy who starts the trailer.

It's his voice, it's his dialogue that starts the trailer, and we're treated to a pretty nice close-up of his mask as well.

And we can see his eyes through that mask, but you can't really tell whose eyes those are, even though we know whose eyes those are.

And you can't totally tell whose voice that is, although I can kind of hear Robert Downey Jr. in that voice, but probably only because I know it's Robert Downey Jr.

But what I don't hear in that voice is Tony Stark.

All I see and all I hear in this trailer for Avengers Doomsday is Dr. Doom.

Period.

Full stop.

And that, of course, is the way... that I know I want it to stay.

I'm pretty sure, Paul, you also want it to stay just that way.

Neither one of us are really looking for Tony Stark connections.

Anything in story like Tony Stark connections, fine.

It's the same actor.

playing two iconic roles in the MCU, but let it just be that and not for the sake of a Tony Stark connection, which we will address that point as the show goes on.

But I didn't expect the trailer to answer that question, by the way.

I don't expect any trailer to answer that question.

I don't think anything but...

some given moment or maybe just the fact that moment never happens to answer the question of what is the nature of Dr. Doom? And is there any other is there a specific Tony Stark ask reason why Robert Downey Jr.

is playing this role? We're going to have to see the movie to get the answer to that question.

So I'll instead focus on what we do have right now.

What we can evaluate and assess right now is Dr. Doom, the look, the voice.

It's all spot on for me.

Paul, like, Downey, what he's doing with his voice for Doom sounds like the ruler of Latveria to me.

And then the costume.

We got a nice preview of this via the concept art by the great Andy Park a couple weeks back.
