Tom Cruise's Iron Man is a big risk in MCU - but RDJ could handle it even better.
Tom Cruise could play Iron Man in Doctor Strange 2. It's a big risk for the MCU, but he will eventually establish how well Robert Downey Jr was.
Tom Cruise's likely Iron Man play in Doctor Strange in Multiverse of Madness is a big risk, but it could also be a better version of Robert Downey Jr. in the MCU. Marvel Studios continues to build its multiverse into the upcoming blockbuster of Sam Raimi and Benedict Cumberbatch. Beginning with the events of Spider-Man: No Way Home, Doctor Strange in Multiverse of Madness sees the titular wizard traveling many realities as he avoids the consequences of his actions to help Peter Parker (Tom Holland).
Marvel Studios is working on the idea of a multiverse in Infinity Saga, with Avengers: Endgame proving the existence of other timelines and facts. In Phase 4, however, the franchise will explore this further, with Loki paving the way for the collapse of the multiverse after the death of He Who Remains (Jonathan Majors). The series also introduced the concept of variants, which allowed the MCU to debut with new versions of well-known characters such as Iron Man. But since Downey's return is out of the question, Marvel Studios may invite another actor to play Iron Man, and Cruise is rumored to be working on Dr. Strange at Multiverse of Madness.
Here is a trailer from the movie Dr. Strange at Multiverse of Madness.
Given how much Downey's Tony Stark is loved, Marvel Studios is considering releasing another actor who plays the character at great risk, even if it means a superstar like Cruise will join the MCU. Not only was Avenger a franchise poster for her first three episodes, but Iron Man's death in Avengers: Endgame also filled the character's 11-year arc. But if Marvel Studios really risked and brought Cruise as an Iron Man variant of Doctor Strange in Multiverse of Madness, it's possible that it could improve on Downey's version. As a character, Tony Stark is to be hated; he is full and self-centered. Sure, it's hard to hate him because he's streaming with charisma - something Downey plays perfectly, so the genius billionaire quickly became a fan favorite. When Marvel debuted an even worse version of Iron Man and Cruise didn't sell it as his predecessor, it confirms how good Downey is in the role.
In any case, if Cruise ends up playing Iron Man in Doctor Strange in Multiverse of Madness, don't expect it to be a recurring MCU event. There is a good chance that Marvel Studios is one part of the effort to build its multiverse. Eventually, the franchise should continue without Downey Tony Stark, at least for the foreseeable future.
