Prepare for a seismic shift in the Marvel Cinematic Universe! At San Diego Comic Con, the shocking revelation came that Robert Downey Jr. is making a dramatic return to the MCU as the ultimate villain of the Multiverse Saga: Doctor Doom. If your only exposure to this formidable antagonist is through the lackluster portrayals in previous Fantastic Four movies, you're in for a treat. This episode of Tatooine Sons: A Pop Culture Podcast dives deep into Marvel's most diabolical despot, Doctor Victor Von Doom, and what RDJ's portrayal could mean for Avengers: Doomsday and beyond.

We'll kick things off by discussing the end of the Kang era in the MCU and explore why Doctor Doom is set to be the next big bad. Join us as we analyze Doom's comic book origins, his complex motivations, and the unique blend of science and sorcery that makes him one of Marvel's most powerful villains. Plus, we'll share our thoughts on RDJ's return, speculating whether he's playing Victor Von Doom, a Tony Stark variant, or both, and weigh the potential payoff and risks of this groundbreaking decision.

Don't miss our rundown of this week's comic book releases, including Uncanny X-Men #1, Batman #151, and Daredevil #12. And hear what our hosts are currently reading, from Chip Zdarsky's Daredevil series to Avengers: Time Runs Out.
