On Robert Downey Jr's entry as Doctor Doom in the Marvel Cinematic Universe affecting Spider-Man, Tom Holland said, "I don't know a lot about those movies; I think by design. I have a reputation for spoiling certain things, and I think the studios keep me from the juicy details. But when I do get to grace that set, I’m so curious – you know, what does that mean for Peter? And how does that work? I’m very excited about… whatever it is they’re doing."
When did Robert Downey Jr's Doctor Doom make its first appearance?
