Was Thanos Right About Tony Stark All Along? Doctor Doom Theory Suggests So!

by

As a seasoned gamer and Marvel enthusiast with over two decades of immersion in this universe, I can confidently say that the latest twist in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) is nothing short of electrifying! The return of Robert Downey Jr. as Iron Man, or should I say Doctor Doom, has sent shockwaves through the gaming and cinematic communities alike.

One of the most buzzed-about topics in entertainment today centers around Robert Downey Jr.’s comeback to the Marvel Universe. The revelation at San Diego Comic-Con has sparked a flurry of conversations, with people everywhere discussing Downey’s future role and the revitalization of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Fans are once again looking forward to something exciting as they anticipate what’s next for this beloved universe.

It was Marvel’s initial intention to make Kang the Conqueror, portrayed by Jonathan Majors and previously featured in their films, the main antagonist for upcoming MCU movies, culminating in an epic battle during Secret Wars. Unfortunately, Majors became embroiled in a domestic abuse scandal, which led to his dismissal from the role. As Marvel searched for a replacement, they decided not to replace Kang entirely and instead introduced Doctor Doom into the storyline.

It was a daring move for Marvel to cast Downey as Doctor Doom, but one with potential rewards if handled skillfully, given Downey’s penchant for choosing quality projects. However, at this point, the details are scant and speculation rife, leaving room for numerous theories. One intriguing theory currently circulating posits that Thanos was correct in his conversations with Iron Man.

To begin, let’s recall the memorable quote from Thanos in Infinity War, where he addressed Stark face-to-face: “I am inevitable.”

Over time, numerous fans have felt that Thanos had some valid points, even if partially correct. The storyline development in the MCU suggests this could be true. Whether or not the writers planned this far ahead (it’s unlikely given Downey’s casting was spontaneous and not initially part of a larger plan) doesn’t change the fact that Thanos’ statements might have been hinting at future events, serving as foreshadowing.

Essentially, as proposed by Karlis Wilde in his theory for ScreenRant, it’s suggested that Thanos was aware of this outcome in the past. This implies that Doom could be a version of Tony Stark from another reality. With this knowledge, Thanos seems to have foretold Stark’s transformation into a villain through his words.

As a dedicated fan, I can’t help but ponder about Doctor Doom being a variant of Tony Stark, as some theories suggest in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). If this is true, it’s inevitable that he, too, will grapple with the burden of knowledge. Characters like Doctor Doom, who have relatable and comprehensible objectives, are crucial to the engaging storytelling we’ve come to love from Marvel. The intelligence and foresight possessed by Tony Stark has been both a boon and a bane in the MCU, as we witnessed when Iron Man came dangerously close to destroying the world with that very knowledge in Avengers: Age of Ultron. It would be fascinating to explore how this knowledge impacts a character like Doctor Doom, who might be more inclined towards destruction.

It’s uncertain if Doctor Doom will transform into a character similar to Tony Stark, but it’s intriguing to consider this as a possibility.
