Avengers: Doomsday reportedly underwent almost a month of reshoots at the behest of Robert Downey Jr., who stars as Doctor Doom in the upcoming MCU movie.
What’s the latest Avengers: Doomsday rumor?
During a recent episode of The Hot Mic podcast with Jeff Sneider and John Rocha, Sneider mentioned that he heard Doomsday had to undergo three weeks of reshoots at Downey’s request. The reason why, according to Sneider, is that for three weeks, Downey was not involved in on-set filming.
According to Sneider, during production, there were times when Downey would be present on set to read lines for Doctor Doom, but not be involved in the scenes. In his place, body and face doubles would be standing in the movie. However, Sneider noted, eventually Downey realized the situation was not working, and requested to reshoot the entire three week’s of scenes, with him in the actual Doctor Doom costume.
Sneider notes the report is nothing but a rumor he’s heard when asking about the movie. However, reshoots are no stranger to the world of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Sneider also hinted at other “dysfunction” happening on the Doomsday set, but did not go into too specific details.
