Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige is responding to critics who argue that Doctor Doom lacks the extensive MCU buildup that established Thanos as a primary antagonist. Addressing these concerns, Feige defended the current approach to the character's introduction. He specifically noted that audiences often misremember the early appearances of Thanos, recalling the memes that mocked the character before the events of Infinity War, suggesting that a similar trajectory is possible for Doctor Doom.
