I love RDJ & all but I don't like the casting, as several of you have all said, it just reeks of desperation from Marvel & at a wild guess, likely at the cost of seeing one of the best villains Marvel has in their back pocket in his full glory.
I say that because even things as simple as his appearance, if you're bringing RDJ back into the fold, you can almost guarantee he'll be seen constantly maskless & scarless otherwise what's really the point? There's likely going to have encounters with characters that knew Tony so there will be no doubt a bunch of spiel about how they look similar. That's also assuming that this isn't some sort of Tony Stark variant from the multiverse, which is another reason not to like the multiverse, at least for me.
With that all being said, it could be an absolute master stroke casting. I'm sure RDJ's got the acting chops to pull of a very good VVD, the biggest obstacle is the fact he's already got such strong ties within the MCU as Tony Stark/Iron Man. They need to keep him unrecognisable IMO, have him attached in name only, rarely seen maskless & when he is, heavy scarring, accent, the whole thing.
But overall, not really a fan of the casting, would have preferred someone fresh & new to the MCU to take the role.
