Avengers: Doomsday
According to “multiple insiders” (via the Express Tribune), Robert Downey, Jr. forced Marvel to reshoot three weeks-worth of material because he was unsatisfied with his body double’s performance inside the Doctor Doom suit. Reshooting the scenes with Downey, Jr. in the suit has reportedly inflated the film’s budget by “millions.”
The outlet also reported how “a poorly timed joke” from Downey, Jr.’s co-star Ryan Reynolds “sparked confrontation” between the two actors, “resulting in a tense standoff.” The altercation allegedly caused Marvel Studios “to step in” and change the actors’ shooting schedules in order to “ease tensions.”
Relatedly, Namor actor Tenoch Huerta described his reduced role in Avengers: Doomsday as being much “simpler in terms of time and energy” than it was in Wakanda Forever during a recent appearance on La Resolana Con El Capi (via Deadline).
The dynamic has been different. There are twentysomething characters involved in the story, which means we are each going to have smaller roles because there needs to be space for all the characters and all the universes. This makes it a much more simpler role, in terms of time and energy of making a film like this.
