This week saw a pretty wild Avengers: Doomsday fan theory about a possible link between Tony Stark and Victor Von Doom take on a life of its own. What started as little more than fan fiction has since been spread as “rumour,” further confusing fans after an endless stream of fake AI images.<\/p>\n
Still, with the Multiverse in play and Doctor Doom played by the same actor, Robert Downey Jr., who brought Iron Man to life on screen, it’s hard not to wonder about a connection between the two.<\/p>\n
Marvel Studios can avoid that by never unmasking Doom; after all, several actors have played more than one character in the MCU, and no one was really fretting about Sersi being Minn-Erva’s “Variant.” That said, it’s still hard to shake the feeling that Tony and Victor being played by the same actor will end up being a major plot point in Avengers: Doomsday.<\/p>\n
Yesterday, we shared footage<\/a><\/strong> from a recent Disney event in Italy highlighting the movie’s massive ensemble (among the reveals was Sam Wilson’s Avengers team).<\/p>\n Many fans on social media have since pointed out that Downey is quite clearly labelled as Victor Von Doom\/Doctor Doom, going some way in debunking the theories. Well, maybe. We won’t know for sure until sitting down to watch Avengers: Doomsday next December.\u00a0<\/p>\n Doom doesn’t need to be linked to Iron Man, but the temptation is surely there for Marvel Studios and the Russo Brothers. Hopefully, the upcoming teaser trailer will put that to rest.<\/p>\n Speaking of which, another of Marvel’s international social media accounts has started hyping up Avengers: Doomsday…<\/p>\n
