MCU (616) Tony Stark is dead dead. Pushing up the daisies. Pining for the fjords. Most we might get are flashbacks, alternate versions (until they close up the multiverse thing with the next two Avengers films), and possibly an AI voiced by RDJr in Ironheart.
This Doom might be an alternate version of Stark, or we might never get to see his face, or we might simply get a “yeah, this is my face, deal with it” lampshade as we got with James Rhodes and are going to get with Thunderbolt Ross.
(I’m not even convinced he’ll last for more than the two Avengers films… alternate Doom comes to 616 for reasons, does his thing, leaves. Local 616 Doom then doesn’t need much of an introduction, can be played by someone younger and cheaper.)
My current running theory is that the plot might be him as a doom clone and they were planning on trucking viewers like they did with Mysterio in Far From Home (unless those viewers knew the character, of course) but for whatever reason they believed the hype is better than the shock after the fact. Maybe trying to deal with decreasing viewership or something.
the MCU has it set up at this point where the explination really doesn’t matter what with the TVA, the ease of accessing the multi-verse, etc. I mean hell they’ve even said that something like Cable’s time machine which should only technically be able to go backwards and forewards in time can now access mutliple timelines/universes. Deadpool literally uses it to take a jaunt to Earth-616 (the main MCU earth) for a job interview.
really all they would need to say is “This is a variant of Victor Von Doom that just so happens to look like Tony Stark”
or We go the Josh Brolin approach and Doom just never takes off his mask cause…well…he’s Doom. I mean that’s an option no one has really mentioned. maybe RDJ just provides the voice and mocap or whatever.
I really hate that they made this super logical and well thought out explanation of time travel in End Game only to throw it out the window with the TVA. Like, I honestly don’t mind if the time travel actually makes sense, but at least be consistent.
Yeah when you go back and watch older stuff and compare it with the recent stuff it’s just like…well all that old stuff could have been easiliy avoided or solved if the people in the new stuff were around. Doc Strange looks at all possible timelines and says there’s only one where they’re successful…well now we know that’s just not true. Also they could only go back and forth in time…again that’s no longer true they literally could have gone to any timeline, any universe, and collected any stone from where ever with general ease. how? they had Doc Stranges sling ring thing. Oh but that only opens portals to different places at the current time/universe…not according to Deadpool & Wolverine, you can use one to open a portal to a different timeline and universe.
I agree with you it’s fine to have this stuff but just be consistent with it.
Wait, what? How is this gonna work? Lots of costume or… Is MCU iron man canonically becoming Dr Doom somehow?
my guess is alternate timeline stark born in Latveria or something like that
