## Summary

Kevin Feige has confirmed that Doctor Doom in *Avengers: Doomsday* is not a multiverse variant of Tony Stark, despite Robert Downey Jr. playing both characters. Feige said Doom is Victor Von Doom, ruling out a theory that the casting is a shortcut to bringing back Stark.

The Russo brothers describe Doom as a powerful, frightening Gothic figure shaped by trauma and the loss of a child, with an ego greater than Thanos’s. Downey Jr. says the villain’s plans have a vast scope. The article also notes that Scarlet Witch is set to return, while a writers’ credit has fuelled speculation about Wolverine and Deadpool; the film is due in cinemas on 18 December.
