Almost everyone considered this was for the role of Iron Man/Tony Stark, the role that enabled him to cement himself in the Hollywood and comic book pantheon. However, when he declared he would be playing the villainous Dr. Victor von Doom the followers at San Diego Comic-Con were astounded. Downey announced the news to the Hall H congregation but did so in the form of a surprise, after which there was clapping.

Thus, they expand the scope of the MCU’s narrative arc as well as highlight Downey’s extraordinary talent to evolve his persona within the same franchise. His switch from Iron Man, a favorite among MCU fans, to Doctor Doom will draw the attention of fans to the franchise and bring uniqueness to the character.
