AVENGERS: DOOMSDAY Rumor Teases How Doctor Doom Will Trick the Heroes To Lure Them In

A wild new rumor is making the rounds online suggesting that Avengers: Doomsday will give us one of the most cunning deceptions in MCU history, and it’s all thanks to Doctor Doom, who is played by Robert Downey Jr. It’s being said that Doom reportedly uses his resemblance to Tony Stark to manipulate the Avengers, exploiting the very legacy Stark left behind.According to industry insider MyTimeToShineHello, Doom’s plan hinges on one crucial detail… his appearance. It’s claimed:“In Doomsday, Victor Von Doom takes advantage of his resemblance to Tony to present himself as an ally to the MCU.”I’m not sure if this is true because I’ve also heard that Downey Jr. is playing a completely separate character, not a variant of Tony Stark, to the point where other Marvel characters who knew Tony Stark won’t recognize him as Tony Stark.Now, I always thought that would be an interesting dynamic to see a character like Spider-Man face off with an villainous version of someone he cared for. I also like the idea of Doom playing mind games like this, pretending to be someone they once trusted with their lives. Avengers: Doomsday co-director Anthony Russo confirmed that Iron Man’s death will be connected to Doom, though, saying:“We can’t explain that as it’s part of the story. But there’s nobody else in the world who could play this character the way he’s about to.” “There’s nobody else in the world who could play this character the way he’s about to.”So, I guess we’ll just have to wait and see how this all plays out, and how Downey Jr.’s Doom is going to be utilized in the story. Avengers: Doomsday is set to hit theaters on May 1, 2026, marking the next massive crossover event in Phase Six of the MCU. The film will be followed by Avengers: Secret Wars on May 7, 2027, setting the stage for an even bigger climax. Meanwhile, Spider-Man 4 will swing into theaters on July 31, 2026, landing between the two Avengers movies.
