I’m kind of weirdly excited because I’ve been wanting him to come back as Doctor Doom for awhile now but didn’t think it would actually happen.
There’s just so much room for character drama with our avengers having to make sense of a villainous version of their hero. Also room to play with the dichotomy of stark being a man of science and Doom more into magic.
Is there a reason you wanted RDJ for Doctor Doom? I haven’t read the comics so I’m unfamiliar but I would have expected him not even to be in the conversation. Is there some kind of cannon connection between stark and him? I always thought his link was to the Fantastic Four primarily.
There’s a “What If…?” comic where Tony, not Reed Richards, is Vic’s college roommate and Vic ends up stealing Tonys identity, literally a “Freaky Friday” Marvel version.
There was a short comic run where Dr. Doom becomes Ironman after Tony dies that I really liked. The only thing connecting them is that they’re both dudes in suits of armor otherwise.

I suppose they could make him Howard Stark’s illegimate son but that’d be a bad move.

Tony Stark and Victor Von Doom are entirely separate people. Unless there’s some bizarre series I’m not aware of connecting them.

Well they’re also both arrogant super-genuises who like making robot armies.
Now that you say it, Infamous Iron Man could be part of the influences they want to draw from for a movie script here…
I thought the same thing, except this is like a reverse-Infamous plot where (presumably) Tony is Doom rather than Doom is Ironman.
I trust Marvel & the Russo Bros quite a bit at this point, but this is definitely a weird casting.
