    I am really hoping RDJ is playing Doom as Victor Von Doom, and not some continuation of Stark or some alternate universe Stark. Like if they skip Doom’s origin and he is always behind the mask with a modulated voice.

    Or even better, the announcement be a misdirect along the same lines as how Trevor wasn’t really the Mandarin.

      I like it that it’s just the alt timeline with the fantastic 4 in the universe. In this timeline, this is just what doom looks like. I like it more because doom looking just like the MCU’s stark can lead to confusion and false trust and some fun moments in secret wars. And it makes sense out of universe because RDJ auditioned for the doom role in the original fantastic 4.

        In an interview with Feige, someone asked about whether Stark was an Anchor Being. And while Feige didn’t directly answer he said he was happy that people were thinking about it.

        Tony Stark being an anchor being makes sense with how important he is in so many universe variations.
