As you probably remember, the Avengers films (and a number of solo outings) were a struggle for me until things clicked into place with their arrival.Yes. I realise it will be a huge payday for him (especially if he's involved as a producer as well as an actor), and that he understandably feels very connected to the franchise. I can also understand why Marvel would want him to return. But I feel for him it's a big risk to come back at this point when he left on a high and is associated with the series at its best.I think he has an intensity that could help, but I'd agree. I'm not widely versed with his body of work but most of the roles in which I've seen him have a kind of quirk and kinetic energy that doesn't feel a good fit for Doom.If they were considering an actor in their late fifties, I wonder if Julian McMahon was considered.And that risks diluting the whole franchise, because it would also mean addressing the similarity and writing in a canonical (and probably multiversal) explanation.</blockquote>
