Since it was announced that Robert Downey Jr., who previously played Tony Stark in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, will portray Doctor Doom, many have been curious about what the comics say about Stark’s transformation into the villain.

At the 2024 San Diego Comic-Con, Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige gave an update on the MCU’s future. The state of the cinematic universe was thrown into disarray after Jonathan Majors’ was fired from the role of Kang the Conqueror after he was found guilty in a domestic abuse case. Kang was set to be the significant MCU villain over the next few years, a storyline that would’ve culminated in Avengers: The Kang Dynasty. Instead of recasting Kang, the franchise has decided to discard that storyline. Now, Doctor Doom will be a major threat to the MCU as Avengers: The Kang Dynasty has been replaced with Avengers: Doomsday. However, Doom replacing Kang wasn’t the most surprising aspect of the announcement.
