With Robert Downey Jr. having been so closely tied to Iron Man, I’m really curious how Marvel plans to explain him now playing Doctor Doom.

Do you think they’ll lean into a multiverse explanation, some kind of Stark-adjacent variant, or just trust the audience to separate the two roles without a big in-universe explanation?

What theory do you think Marvel is most likely to use here?

A fantastic four sequel.

I dont think even they have figured it out yet hahaha.

I would LOVE it if they simply never addressed it. It's just another character with no connection to Tony Stark. Doom has scars, and he has a mask; you don't need to make them look too much alike. I think any connection they try to make between the characters will be disappointing and a disservice to the villain.
