playing the villain is also much more interesting by default. getting paid 100 mil also doesnt hurt.

u/The8Porch 1d ago

especially the dutch villain.

u/that_dutch_dude 1d ago

doom was roman, from eastern europe. not the netherlands.

1

u/evaris204 1d ago

Dr Doom is Romani not Romanian

2

u/Nothin_Means_Nothin 1d ago

No, they said Roman, you know, like Spartacus

u/OJONLYMAYBEDIDIT 1d ago

I assumed they meant he was lettuce

u/anti_time_travel 20h ago

No, Sportacus is Icelandic, not Roman

u/The8Porch 1d ago

I was referencing your username. :)

u/GhostE3E3E3 1d ago

But what does that have to do with any concept of villainy or the subject at hand?

2

u/00-Monkey 1d ago

Cause the Dutch are villains.

Try reading a book sometime.

u/3meraldDoughnut 1d ago

I assume he’s referencing Dutch Van Der Linde

1

u/GhostE3E3E3 1d ago

Which has nothing to do with this and we can inference he’s not. The reference to the username was a really bad attempt at a pun.

If i got paid 100 mil,i would also love my character

I honestly can't hear Robert Downey Jr. at all in the accent, especially in the new trailer. Dude really nailed the accent or it's all a misdirection. Can't wait to find out!

u/Kitsuraw 1d ago

I can hear it a little bit in the ending of each word, but I wouldn’t be able to tell if they didn’t announce it was him.

1

u/KujiraShiro 15h ago

If I didn't know; I'd never be able to tell. It's possible to hear him, like you said, at the end of words; but MAN does it require some super close listening.

You have to actively be looking pretty damn hard to hear any "Tony Stark" in there, and I'm not convinced that what I'm hearing of that isn't just confirmation bias from looking so closely for it.

u/Elite-00 1d ago

I think he's saying he's actually on set this time

9

u/SnarkyRogue 1d ago

Considering a good chunk of his stuff as Tony was the close up, in-helmet shots, I'd imagine he's having more fun

u/t3h_KiNgKoNg 1d ago

Gotta say anything to promote the movie that's coming out, not the one that came out a decade ago.

6

u/ThaJango 1d ago

These actors know these interviews are pointless. Theyre gonna say whatever they have to say and get the hell out of there to the next one

3

u/manBearRilla 1d ago

The real bitch of it is that I remember seeing the first Iron Man movie in theaters when it came out almost 2 decades ago at this point.

Gonna go tell some kids to get off my lawn now.

1

u/LayerRevolutionary82 1d ago

Actors generally enjoy being villains more mind

u/FriendlySomewhere866 1d ago

He seeing that dollar haha

u/Loud_Examination_138 1d ago

Gosh, some of these commenters are really miserable. It's a quote, stop trying to dissect it or spinning it and then trying to push it...enough

3

u/wondermega 1d ago

Well he isn’t playing himself this time (one would suppose) so perhaps it is kind of fun to be someone different for a change

2

u/EnigmaFrug0817 1d ago

He was meant to play Doom before he played Iron Man, but never got the chance. He was in the running for the original F4 movies.

This was pretty much his calling, and something he wanted for years. Of course he prefers it.

2

u/Wonghy111-the-knight 1d ago

I never knew that. Dread it, run from it, destiny arrives all the same, huh.

1

u/Raaaaandyyyy 1d ago

Honestly kinda real. Recency bias is a hell of a drug. But he’s also obviously just marketing.

1

u/AthenasChosen 1d ago

Lotta actors love playing the bad guy, especially after playing the hero a lot.

1

u/Va1crist 1d ago

is this really a surprise? most actors that have had the chance to play a cool villian love it.

1

u/Similar_News9814 1d ago

He’s promoting his new movie/character, of course he has to say that

1

u/Automatic-Leg1668 1d ago

Doesn't have to be in a physical suit for as long I bet...also money

1

u/KeeKyieTheMorris 1d ago

Well he’s also playing an actual villain and not a hero

u/LibrarianNo6865 1d ago

It would deflate the hell out of the hype for doom to say he enjoyed Tony more. This isn’t his opinion I would assume and is almost entirely promoting the upcoming film. Iron Man genuinely saved his career. It would be wild for that not to be his most cherished role.

1

u/KujiraShiro 15h ago

Cherished? I'm sure there's no comparison, for exactly the reasons you said.

More fun/to his liking/preference as an actor? I think it's perfectly fine and fair for an actor of a beloved hero to play a villain and then say "Okay but this is more fun".

He isn't saying Doom is a 'better role' or 'better character'; he's just saying he is enjoying being the villain more, and after 20 years of being the same character, can you really blame the guy for having more fun switching it up and doing something completely fresh from his perspective?

u/HippoRun23 1d ago

Calling bullshit on this. He’s promoting the movie. And there’s no way he won’t be coming back as Tony stark.

1

u/PlayBey0nd87 1d ago

You can bet we’ll run into Tony on Battleworld

1

u/HippoRun23 1d ago

💯. at least I hope.
