    Is there a reason you wanted RDJ for Doctor Doom? I haven’t read the comics so I’m unfamiliar but I would have expected him not even to be in the conversation. Is there some kind of cannon connection between stark and him? I always thought his link was to the Fantastic Four primarily.

      Tony Stark and Victor Von Doom are entirely separate people. Unless there’s some bizarre series I’m not aware of connecting them.

        There was a short comic run where Dr. Doom becomes Ironman after Tony dies that I really liked. The only thing connecting them is that they’re both dudes in suits of armor otherwise.

          Now that you say it, Infamous Iron Man could be part of the influences they want to draw from for a movie script here…

            I thought the same thing, except this is like a reverse-Infamous plot where (presumably) Tony is Doom rather than Doom is Ironman.

            I trust Marvel & the Russo Bros quite a bit at this point, but this is definitely a weird casting.

      There’s a “What If…?” comic where Tony, not Reed Richards, is Vic’s college roommate and Vic ends up stealing Tonys identity, literally a “Freaky Friday” Marvel version.

      I suppose they could make him Howard Stark’s illegimate son but that’d be a bad move.
