Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige is addressing fan concerns regarding the upcoming introduction of Doctor Doom. Feige explained that the studio is taking a similar approach with Robert Downey Jr. as Doctor Doom. In contrast, Doctor Doom has not been a background presence in the current Multiverse Saga. This has led to skepticism among some viewers who feel that his sudden appearance lacks the foundational work that made the Infinity Saga feel cohesive. The shift from the previously established plans for Kang the Conqueror to the current focus on Doctor Doom has further fueled these discussions.
