Robert Downey Jr. Hints at Iron Man vs. Doctor Doom Showdown in New Marvel Film

The actor previously played Iron Man in Marvel films, and will soon appear before audiences as the supervillain Doom. But how will the screenwriters manage to pit them against each other?

The "easter egg" dropped by Downey Jr. caught the attention of Comic Book. The actor posted a video on social media showing himself listening to music and singing along. At one point, the camera pans over comic book covers of "Marvel Secret Wars" and "Iron Man: Legacy of Doom." The latter showcased the showdown between Tony Stark and Victor Von Doom.

The video sparked intense discussion, especially since the actor will soon play the villain in "Avengers: Doomsday" and "Avengers: Secret Wars." It's entirely possible that Iron Man will clash with Doom in these films, but nobody understands exactly how this will work, considering Tony Stark died in "Avengers: Endgame." The multiverse concept could come to the rescue for screenwriters – meaning Doom might battle an Iron Man from some alternate world. Here at zoomboola.com, we believe: whatever Marvel Studios cooks up, whether it's facing off against himself or something entirely different, the return of such a charismatic actor will undoubtedly breathe new life into Marvel films that have lost their edge over the past few years.
