Overview
- Pike made the remarks on the How to Fail with Elizabeth Day podcast, calling the video game adaptation a catastrophe and "one of the worst films ever made."
- She said she felt utterly ill‑equipped to be an action star on a set dominated by "macho guys," with weights on hand and guns treated like holy relics by fans.
- Doom grossed roughly $58–58.7 million worldwide against an estimated $60–70 million budget and holds an 18% Rotten Tomatoes score.
- The film was directed by Andrzej Bartkowiak and co-starred Dwayne Johnson and Karl Urban, with Johnson stepping in after Ray Winstone exited the project.
- Pike added that the experience pushed her to research video games and reconsider expectations of playing a bombshell-style action role.
