Secret Wars Will Define the New MCU and RDJ Won’t Be the Doom Everyone Thinks

If you are a fan of the Marvel Cinematic Universe or if you have an active social profile, you will not have missed the announcement of Marvel to put the actor Robert Downey Jr. like New Doctor Doomor if you prefer, Doctor Doom.

The announcement that shocked fans

The announcement has surprised many fans, considering that RDJ had the role of Iron Manthe one who started it MCU. Predictably, everyone rushed to try to understand what the logical motivation was behind this choice.

The most plausible idea that has been spread everywhere, is linked to an old short story that, without spoiling anything, saw a body swap between Iron Man And Doctor Doomlike on a crazy Friday. This led to a Tony Stark with the armor of Doom gold and red color and a Victor Von Doom with the armor of Iron Man grey and green.

Considering that the Marvel has long enjoyed teasing and trolling viewers with various types of changes, from trailers to choices like the one in Mandarinmost likely this time too we are faced with a false positive. But let’s proceed in order.

I find it very unlikely that this Doctor Doom be a variant of Tony Starkor a Tony Stark with the mind of Doom. This choice would reduce one of the most beautiful characters of the Marvelsomething that fans would not accept. Also, considering that this Doom is the big bad of the next two films of the Avengersand knowing that in these films there will also be the Fantastic Fourthe whole dual clash between Reed Richards And Victor Von Doom it would be compromised.

It would also be very sad to see characters like Spider-Man And War Machine talk to this big bad, who would remind them of a mentor and a friend respectively.

I am very convinced that, in the end, Robert Downey Jr. will interpret Doom and we will probably never see him without a mask. The choice of Marvelclever for many but on careful analysis very bravecould be motivated only by the desire to bring an actor of the highest quality, an Oscar winner, to play one of the most important villains ever.

Even if a connection were made between the physical appearance of Dr. Doom And Tony StarkI don’t think the body has anything to do with it Tony Stark in any way, nor a variant of it. In short, what I’m trying to say is that I am very convinced that there will be no correlation between this Doctor Doom and the Tony Stark of the MCU.

Avengers: Secret Wars, the cameos we would like to see

Implications for the future of the MCU

What should scare fans even more is the subtitle of the second film of the Avengers. If the first one is called “Doomsday“, and will probably show the rise to power of the Doctor Doom“Secret Wars” is something even more terrifying.

This series connects to the Fantastic Four in comics (written by Jonathan Hickman) and shows how Doctor Doomwith Doctor Strange And Molecule Manchallenges the almighty Arcanewho are the ones who shaped the universe.

The goal is to block the incursions, a process that is causing the various worlds of the multiverse to collide with each other, leaving alive only those that are not destroyed, or in case of a tie, destroying both.

If it has enlightened your mind, it is because the raids are mentioned by Reed Richards Of John Krasinski in the last “Doctor Strange“, and in the post-credit scene of that movie we see the exact same thing Doctor Strange leave to solve other raids.

It is not impossible that the Marvel was already about to insert Doomeven when Kang was still in the equation. Maybe now it will have even more space, but also the fact that there are many Kang it could have been a great incipit to tell the secret wars.

I’m not going to tell you how these things go. Secret Warsalthough they have been, and will surely be in the film, an excellent means to bring in many characters from alternative universes, such as the various Spider-Man and the characters of the Fox.

What should interest us is the ending, or rather, what happens when the problem is solved: the conclusion in fact led to the fusion of the universe. Ultimate with that original.

This means a restart point for many stories, the birth of heroes like Jane’s Thor.

For this reason we are very convinced that at the end of Secret WarsThe MCU will find itself in a new starting point, with characters and variants united within a single world, probably with these blessed ones too X-Men which we have been waiting for a long time to see inside the MCUbut above all with a sort of refresh of some characters with new faces, perhaps younger and suitable for another dozen years of stories to tell.

These are just theories. We might actually have a Doom inside the body of Iron Man and maybe never see them X-Men in the Earth 616. Even if in “Age of Ultron” we had the battle with Ultronnot like in the comics but inspired by them, if in “Civil War“we had the civil war between Postal Code And Iron Mannot like in the comics but similar to it, 100% we will have in Secret Wars a war between worlds, where many could be destroyed (along with all the cameo possibilities), leaving us with only a handful of heroes and stories detached from this blessed multiverse. After all, as we have seen in the interviews for Deadpool & Wolverineto Shawn Levy a list of 70 characters from the universe was given Fox to be able to use, which is why these actors are most likely already ready to make their return for one last and important cameo before the end of the games.
