There are a lot of reasons to be skeptical about Robert Downey Jr.'s impending portrayal of Doctor Doom in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. But according to Fantastic Four: First Steps actor Vanessa Kirby, who portrays Sue Storm in the film, the MCU veteran is more than living up to the potential of his new role as the Avengers' next great nemesis.
"Oh, beyond. Beyond," Kirby tells the HappySadConfused podcast when asked about how she's getting along with RDJ as they both film the currently in production Avengers: Doomsday. "He's the most incredible human being. Soulful, deep, kind. He's been an amazing leader to us, considering we're the newbies. A lot of the others have known this world for a really long time. He's been a phenomenal leader, and he's also just doing the most amazing work."
