With the upcoming ensemble approaching, fans are once again spinning fresh theories – much like the old times. Interestingly, these theories revolve around Robert Downey Jr., but this time not about Iron Man or Tony Stark. In a recent report, it appears that the actor is returning to the franchise, taking on the role of the main antagonist, Victor Von Doom.
If you’re deeply passionate about comics, you may have already formed a theory linking Tony Stark and Doctor Doom, suggesting they could be one and the same character. (Wit intended)
The concept originates from the well-known Marvel Comics featuring Iron Man. In the 2016 series penned by Brian Michael Bendis and Alex Maleev, Doctor Doom experiences a significant change in the aftermath of Civil War II. Now for those who might be unfamiliar, following the events of Civil War II, Tony Stark slips into a coma—which leads Victor Von Doom to assume the role of Iron Man.
However, Doom’s intentions aren’t rooted in conquest but in redemption.
In this storyline, he earnestly strives to uphold Tony Stark’s memory by transforming into a novel type of Iron Man. This version is motivated by reason, intelligence, and a genuine need for redemption, instead of being influenced by an inflated sense of self-importance.
The plot at hand is a highly debated yet captivating turn of events in Marvel Comics, where Doctor Victor Von Doom assumes the mantle of Iron Man. This switch shakes up conventional perspectives and plunges us into a grey area of morality, as it blurs the boundary between heroism and villainy.
In this interpretation of Doctor Doom, there’s an honest effort to change for the better. However, his past actions cast a long shadow, making it difficult for those around him to fully trust him due to the devastation he previously unleashed.
Presenting a character like that, particularly with Robert Downey Jr.’s performance, would certainly take Marvel Cinematic Universe fans by surprise.
What happens next remains to be seen. Avengers: Doomsday is set to hit theaters on May 1, 2025.
