Marvel Studios has officially announced the cast for Avengers: Doomsday, which suggests they are sidestepping Robert Downey Jr playing Doctor Doom in the laziest possible way. Robert Downey Jr.’s casting as Doctor Doom is a huge development in the MCU timeline and has prompted fervent debate around how it will manage the fact he resembles the MCU’s most important hero: Iron Man. Considering Tony Stark’s legacy, it was presumed that this would form a central narrative in the MCU’s Avengers: Doomsday, but instead it seems like Marvel have found an underwhelming workaround.
