Marvel's Avengers: Doomsday (May 2026)

u nerds gonna have to explain this to me

He dies as Iron man than reincarnated as Dr Doom?

Multiple universes...different variations of the characters. In one universe he's Iron Man. In another...he's Doom.

In other words...the multiverse from the comics gives the studios a way where they can reuse the the same actors to portray different comic characters.
 
If the whole Kang/majors situation didn't get awkward this would play better in my eyes. But the fact they're telling us right out the gate rdj is doom is weird. I can't tell if they're just throwing a red herring out there or if they're just forcing it for pr. I get the multiverse existing in mcu but I don't want this to become a regular thing for mcu and their actors.

Feels cheap but has all the elements to be a slap and game changer tho.
 


Robert Downey Jr. has been synonymous with Tony Stark ever since he debuted as the billionaire playboy and philanthropist in 2008's Iron Man. But in the grand tradition of Marvel's multiversal madness, Downey was in talks to play an entirely different Marvel character before being cast as Iron Man.

In a new retrospective celebrating the 15th anniversary of the film that kickstarted the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Jon Favreau — who both directed and starred in Iron Man as Happy Hogan — revealed that Downey was initially interested in playing the antagonist of 2005's Fantastic Four.

"I remember you had all met with [Downey] already for like Doctor Doom or something on another project," Favreau said during a conversation with Marvel's top boss Kevin Feige. "I think he had come through on maybe Fantastic Four, so everybody sort of knew who he was."
