Famed radio shock-jock Howard Stern is apparently attached to an unspecified role in an unannounced “Doctor Doom” project at Marvel – one already in the works.
Speaking on his daily radio show on SiriusXM, it seemed Stern’s microphone was accidentally left on during a commercial break when he was asked about his Summer plans. He can be heard saying:
“I told you, I’m going to do ‘Doctor Doom’ with [***NAME GARBLED***]. That’s the thing. But believe me, I’m f—ing miserable about it… I called Robert Downey, Jr. and I was asking him acting techniques. “
The garbled name does sound kind of like ‘Favreau’, and immediately after what he said above, Stern can be heard asking “Do you have a number for John?”. Jon Favreau hasn’t been linked to any future Marvel projects at this time as he’s busy managing the “Star Wars” TV universe for the Disney+ service. That said, if anyone knows how to do a series/film with a lead character frequently in a mask – it’s him.
The reveal comes out of nowhere and doesn’t indicate what role Stern will have in the project whatever it is. “Fargo” creator Noah Hawley was working on the script for a “Doctor Doom” series a few years back but that was seemingly shelved when Disney acquired Fox.
Marvel is set to announce its future plans at San Diego Comic-Con in a few weeks which is expected to include several unannounced projects – has Stern just let one of those slip? We’ll likely find out then.
Just waking up in the morning, gotta thank God. So this is interesting. On the Howard Stern show today they ended the episode to go on summer break and had a hot mic on. Did Stern say he’s involved with a Doctor Doom project with Jon Favreau?
