Tony Stark’s Death Is One Of The MCU’s Biggest Moments

One of the most interesting aspects of Downey Jr. possibly returning to the MCU as Doctor Doom is the fact that it would avoid creating a major problem .

How Marvel Comics Has The Perfect Setup For A Tony Stark Doctor Doom Variant

Downey ’s possible role as a Tony Stark who becomes Doctor Doom has a case law in Marvel Comics . In a " What If ? " issue , Doctor Doom and Tony Stark ’s head end up swapping body .

A interlingual rendition of that could be in turn for the MCU , with RDJ ’s multiversal Tony Stark actually being Tony ’s body with Doctor Doom ’s head , which would explicate a villainous bit .

Doctor Doom also needs to debut as fast as possible in the MCU . With Kang ’s time to come up in the air , Doom is the best possible villain to take his purpose in the Multiverse Saga . Doctor Doom was all important in the comics ' Secret Warsand could become the main threat the MCU heroes and other multiverse players get together to defeat inAvengers : Secret Wars .
