In a surprising twist for the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the iconic Robert Downey Jr. might not be done with major roles, as he steps into the shoes of Doctor Doom. With Iron Man no longer in the picture, speculation abounds that Doctor Doom could be the new major player. And who might be at the receiving end of his schemes? It seems Loki, played by Tom Hiddleston, could be in danger.
Loki has become a central figure in the MCU as the ‘Keeper of the Multiverse’. But with Doctor Doom’s arrival, his position is under threat. The character of Doctor Doom is notorious for his ambitions that stretch beyond a single universe — he aims to dominate the multiverse. This ambition sets him on a collision course with Loki, possibly marking the end for Hiddleston’s beloved character.
The scenario suggests that while Loki is distracted, Doctor Doom will seize the opportunity to confront and possibly defeat him. This climactic encounter could feature a dramatic unmasking by Doctor Doom, revealing Robert Downey Jr. in a moment that would stun not only Loki but also the audience.
Intriguingly, a theory from an Instagram user, @dham_ski, details how Doctor Doom might orchestrate his control over the multiverse. His alleged plan includes seizing Loki’s throne and leveraging the powers of various Kang variants. Additionally, the Darkhold—a book that grants immense knowledge and power, as seen with Wanda Maximoff—plays a crucial part in this strategy. The theory doesn’t stop there; it suggests Doctor Doom might even revive Ultron and enlist the cosmic entity Galactus to ensure his dominance.
Despite the grandiose plans, the Avengers are destined to prevail, or so the fans hope. As much as this theory paints a grim future for Loki, it remains unconfirmed. ‘Avengers: Doomsday’, set to hit theaters on May 1, 2026, will reveal the true extent of Doctor Doom’s impact on the MCU. Until then, we can only wait and speculate about the fate of our favorite characters in this ever-evolving universe.
