    Can’t imagine how picking the same actor for two different roles is the safe route. Marvel is scared.

      In saying that, both actors have already played roles in the MCU. Mads was the villain in Doctor Strange.

      But everyone knows RDJ as Tony Stark, a central character in the franchise, versus a one-off villain in a supporting character’s origin movie.

      Mads Mikkelsen played Kaecilius in Doctor Strange. Of course, that doesn’t necessarily mean bringing him in to play the MCU version of Doctor Doom would be two roles. Kaecilius emerging from the Dark Dimension as the new Doom could’ve been interesting. Mister Doom? No, Doctor Doom. Normal name, not strange at all.
