Rumours doing the rounds online suggest that the megastar could take on the role of a multiverse variant of Tony Starkopposite Robert Downey Jr., who has confirmed his return as Doctor Doom in the upcoming ‘Avengers: Doomsday’ and ‘Avengers: Secret Wars’.
While neither Marvel Studios nor Cruise has officially confirmed the casting, fan theories have been swirling that the actor could likely play a variant of the character who met his end in ‘Avengers: Endgame’. If there is any truth to the rumours, then it would come as a welcomed update to fans, considering that Cruise was originally considered for the role of Tony Stark before Robert Downey Jr. was cast. With the multiverse opening up endless possibilities, it would be interesting to see the two superstars face off on the big screen.
Meanwhile, reports also suggest that RDJ, who is expected to earn over $200 Million for his big return to the MCU, will likely only star in the 2 films. Fans have noted that Tony Stark from Earth 616 (the MCU’s current timeline) will remain dead, allowing his similar-looking variant to wreak havoc as the supervillain.
While it has been confirmed that RDJ will star in ‘Doomsday’ and ‘Secret Wars’, IMDB lists only ‘The Fantastic Four’ stars Joseph Quinn,
Pedro PascalEbon Moss-Bachrach and Vanessa Kirbyother as superheroes set to feature in the films. Rumours are rife that other familiar faces, including Benedict Cumberbatch’s Doctor Strange, Hugh Jackman‘s Wolverine, Tom Holland‘s Spider-Man, and Anthony Mackie’s Sam Wilson among other characters are expected to appear in the movies that have been slated for 2026 and 2027 releases, respectively.
