Lee Pace (as the GLORY OF DOOM), but only if he gets to portray the Vic who gets a tiny scar on his face, declares himself hideous, and then goes to the monastery.

We've already cast the next big bad as a black man, I'm leery of doing that twice. Plus he needs to play professor X or magneto. (who is arguably arguably not a "bad".)

McDonough does give good villain and he's great at jovial menace, but Doom's menace isn't really all that jovial. Javier Bardeem as Doom would be great, I think.

Oh this is an interesting deleted scene. I don't know where it could have fit in Hawkeye, but it's possibly the best thing shot with this character. The black suit placing it correctly in the timeline before the Netflix show means they're really paying attention to the canon.

I'd love a Victoria von Doom, which would be up there for Spider-Verse's Doc Ock flip. I'm just not sure it's worth the wailing and gnashing of teeth from the outraged fuckboys. And this time I'd almost feel like they had a (tiny sliver of a) point. The MCU has been all about correctly portraying all the heroes who got mangled in previous versions, and with two terrible Dooms on film it feels like finally getting him right is almost an obligation to the brand at this point. Liv Ock worked so well as a fakeout, and in her own right, plus there had already been Molina Ock if the shallow end of the genepool needed a comfort blankie. (Then we got Molina Ock back anyway.)

I dunno, there's just a sulky petulance about Doom that feels very... masculine.

That said, if the absolute mad lad Kevin Feige went for it I'd be 100% behind it.

Madame Masque from Agent Carter is already the perfect female Doom; vain, disfigured, studies science and magic, has an in-universe following, and most importantly, comes from a property that Kevin Feige acknowledges.

The only problem I'd have with a female Dr. Doom, beyond just not liking the character very much in general, is that I don't think the relationship Reed and Victor traditionally have is as tenable if one is female and one is male, because it'd almost inevitably have an undercurrent of sexual tension that isn't normally present. It's not impossible to do it without that layer of tension, but it's just far more likely that people would see it; regardless of intent. Which means you'd need to have Dr. Reese Richards or something too, and not just Victoria von Doom. Which itself could have some knock-on effects, of either making Sid Storm, with kid sister Jane Storm and best friend Bernadette Grimm or something. Since, again, the male/female friend dynamic with Reese/Ben probably would carry a lot more sexual tension in some people's eyes regardless of intent than is normally assumed and would probably end up introducing relationship drama that interferes with the fun family hijinx you'd want the Fantastic Four to be.

You could also just make Reese and Sue a couple instead, regardless of what you do with Ben. I'm sure it'd set a lot of teeth on edge to do that many changes at once, especially if any of them are non-White to boot.

But, that was an intentional plot point that foreshadows the reveal that he's just some no name actor hired to play the part of a captain, but actually has no clue how anything works. Billie even shushes him several time when he switches accents and breaks character.
Right, that was my point. Avenue 5 used accents/dialect as an intentional plot point that was not immediately obvious, and in Moon Knight it is an intentional plot point that may not be immediately obvious to people coming in cold that Marc Spector has multiple personalities/cover stories/cover stories that turn into split personalities that would speak in different accents/dialects, not that Oscar Isaac couldn't keep a British accent going for every scene in the trailer or whatever some people are interpreting it as.

I hope they didn't kill the character for real, they probably didn't, because holyshit D'Onofrio is loving great and it would be a monumental waste of talent.
