Look, the choice to bring Robert Downey Jr. – basically, Iron Man himself – back as Doctor Doom in the upcoming movie has really split fans. Some are rightly upset about the casting choices and how they don’t align with the character’s origins, while others are just… confused. Why are we seeing Tony Stark as the villain? A new teaser video just dropped, and it might start to explain things, at least addressing the ‘why’ if not the ‘how’. It won’t fix the concerns about representation, but hopefully it’ll clear up some of the confusion surrounding his return.
Directors Anthony and Joe Russo, famous for dropping hints about their Marvel movies, recently posted a new TikTok video. It features two of their team members wearing masks – one as Iron Man, and the other as Doctor Doom. They stand back-to-back while the camera circles them, leading fans to speculate that the hero and villain might be connected. Some believe this could mean Doctor Doom is actually a version of Tony Stark himself.
The leading theory seems most likely, especially since Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars are planned to conclude the current multiverse storyline. This theory also neatly explains why Doom appears to have Tony Stark’s face, and it presents a compelling new direction for the character in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Viewers would likely be fascinated to see an alternate version of Tony Stark explore a much more villainous side.
The new video showcases Doctor Doom’s costume, closely matching the comics, and strongly suggests a significant connection between Tony Stark and Victor von Doom in the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday movie – a connection that goes beyond just being played by the same actor, Robert Downey Jr. This likely confirms that this relationship will be crucial to the film’s plot and will further increase fan theories.
