Avengers: Doomsday Artwork Reveals RDJ’s Doom Armor Has Some Iron Man Inspirations

It looks like Tony Stark’s villainous counterpart, Doctor Doom, could potentially appear in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) following recent concept art leaks. Fans have spent the weekend closely examining various images from the upcoming Avengers film, and there is much speculation about returning characters such as Star-Lord, Hulk, and Black Panther, as well as newcomers like Speed and Doop, an X-Men character. Based on these concept art pieces by Marvel Studios’ artist Mushk Rizni, it seems that the story will take fans on a thrilling journey. While the return of these superheroes is intriguing, there has been a lot of buzz surrounding one character in particular: Doctor Doom and any connections he may have to Iron Man.

It’s been confirmed that Robert Downey Jr., who plays Iron Man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, is coming back for The Russo Brothers’ films, “Avengers: Doomsday” and “Avengers: Secret Wars.” This follows the surprising revelation at Comic-Con about his character transitioning to Doctor Doom. However, recent leaked artwork suggests that Downey Jr.’s role may not entirely abandon his Iron Man origins. Upon closer inspection of the concept art for Doctor Doom on his iconic throne, one can identify elements that resemble a captivating comic book version of Tony Stark embedded within the medieval design of the character.

In the design sketches for Doctor Doom, he resembles the Superior Iron Man from Marvel Comics, who sports a gleaming white armor suit. This iteration of Iron Man embodies all of Tony Stark’s negative traits and is a single character. This figure has appeared in numerous Marvel Comic books, encountering resistance from heroes like Daredevil and even Pepper Potts. A possible reason Robert Downey Jr. might reprise his role in the MCU could be the integration of artificial intelligence. Tony Stark’s consciousness could persist as AI, linking the primary antagonist to the original Iron Man in some fashion.

In a unique twist, Doctor Doom could draw upon some characteristics of Tony Stark (Iron Man) and merge them with an immoral outlook that’s typically associated with villains, resulting in a new and potentially chilling portrayal of Victor Von Doom. For devoted fans, the prospect of a sinister iteration of their beloved character is both intriguing and long-awaited. With the costume design for Doctor Doom hinting at similarities to the Superior Iron Man, it’s not hard to imagine that we may soon witness this darker side of the character come to life.
