Meanwhile, over at Marvel,Robert Downey Jr.‘s return as Docter Doom also made waves. While it was met with some initial skepticism, audiences warmed up to it.

Look at the difference between Jason Momoa being cast as Lobo and Robert Downey Jr. with Doctor Doom. With Momoa, people wanted it to happen; it’s like putting food in the mouth—it was meant to be. Whereas Robert Downey Jr. with Doctor Doom, although really cool, no one really asked for this, and people are extremely skeptical of how it’s going to turn out.
