Many are accusing Marvel of “whitewashing” for casting Robert Downey Jr. as Doctor Doom, after their previous casting of Iron Man.

 

The supervillain’s origin tale hinges on the fact that he was born into a Romani tribe from Latveros.

It would have been a great step forward if Marvel Studios had taken Romani culture into account while casting, as it is underrepresented in movies.

People who are let down by the news are venting on Reddit about their ideal casting choices for the part, with names like Saša Barbul and Danny Wynter coming up.
