Summary

• New Doctor Doom cosplay proves that Robert Downey Jr. needs a fully comic-accurate design in Avengers: Doomsday.
• Doctor Doom is one of Marvel Comics' most important and legendary villains, so Marvel Studios needs to get his costume and character right.
• Robert Downey Jr. would look incredible in a comic-accurate Doctor Doom costume, getting the same treatment as several recent MCU heroes.

New cosplay ahead of Robert Downey Jr.'s debut as Doctor Doom in Avengers: Doomsday proves exactly what the MCU legend needs for his return. Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige and returning directing duo the Russo brothers confirmed that Robert Downey Jr. would be returning to the MCU at this year's SDCC presentation. This casting has been controversial, but after two lackluster attempts at bringing iconic Marvel villain Doctor Doom into live-action, Marvel Studios and Robert Downey Jr. have the perfect opportunity to finally get Doctor Doom right.
One of the key things that Marvel Studios needs to get right about Doctor Doom is the villain's costume, specifically his iconic armor and green robes. For tips, Marvel could turn to Cecilosaurus, who shared a homemade cosplay of Doctor Doom in August that is striking, convincing and, most importantly, comic-accurate.
This stunning cosplay mixes Doctor Doom's somewhat medieval style from Marvel Comics with his more mystical and otherworldly influences, creating a perfect look that should be a benchmark for Robert Downey Jr.'s design in the MCU's Phase 6.

Doctor Doom Really Needs To Be Comics Accurate In The MCU Close Cecilosaurus' cosplay proves that Robert Downey Jr. needs to have a comic-accurate design as Doctor Doom in the MCU. Victor Von Doom is perhaps Marvel's most notable villain, and his costume has become iconic in the years since his Marvel Comics debut in 1962's The Fantastic Four #5. The layered metal of the armor covering his arms, legs and face needs to allow for movement and function, with his lengthy green cape and hood, and gold details giving the costume depth, complexity and a sense of strength and command.

Previous live-action adaptations of Doctor Doom in 2005's Fantastic Four, its 2007 sequel, Rise of the Silver Surfer, and 2015's Fantastic Four reboot have failed to capture the full power of the villain's costume. Interestingly, 1994's unreleased The Fantastic Four movie came close, but Marvel Studios has the opportunity to deliver the most impactful and impressive Doctor Doom costume in the character's live-action history. Doctor Doom would benefit from getting the same treatment as many heroes in the MCU's recent history by getting a comic-accurate upgrade.

1 Marvel Studios has seldom shied away from fully adapting the colorful, vibrant and, sometimes, ridiculous costumes of Marvel Comics into live-action. Even so, in recent years, this has become even more prominent. Heroes such as Sam Wilson's Captain America, Peter Parker's Spider-Man, Kamala Khan's Ms. Marvel, Doctor Strange, Marc Spector's Moon Knight and, more recently, Deadpool and Wolverine have been given comic-accurate superhero costumes. Doctor Doom deserves this treatment in Avengers: Doomsday, especially since Robert Downey Jr. would look amazing in Victor Von Doom's full Marvel get-up.
