Regardless of Avengers: Doomsday being simply 4 months away, so many questions on the upcoming MCU film stay. Among the many most urgent questions are, in fact, what Physician Doom needs and why he seems to be like Tony Stark (assuming that we lastly see him together with his masks off in Doomsday, though there are rumors that we’ll). By way of the latter, the most definitely clarification nonetheless appears to be that Doom is a Tony Stark variant or vice versa, though that’s admittedly low-hanging fruit, so there’s a strong likelihood that Marvel will go for one thing else. Primarily based on the concept that there could possibly be one other, rather more stunning clarification for Doom and Tony being, presumably, principally an identical, innumerable fan theories have been circulating.
After all, one key issue to think about is the upcoming re-release of Avengers: Endgame, titled Avengers: Endgame Encore, which is not going to solely carry the film again to theaters seven years later but in addition will embrace new footage that has added 4 minutes to the entire runtime. Proper now, what that footage is stays a thriller, and the Endgame Encore trailer provides no important hints, however this re-release will apparently imply a extra direct connection between Endgame and Doomsday. Now, a brand new fan concept about Tony Stark’s involvement within the occasions of Doomsday has been shared, and it truly makes a lot sense—and probably makes Endgame Encore extra essential than ever.
Did Tony Stark’s Snap Trigger Doomsday?
One of the vital iconic moments in the complete MCU can be one of many saddest, and that’s Tony Stark/Iron Man’s determination to make use of the newly minted Nano Gauntlet to snap away Thanos and his military. Though this was a large victory and it got here with the unimaginable “I’m Iron Man” line, it additionally meant the dying of this fan-favorite character. Nonetheless, a brand new fan concept, posted to Reddit, has urged that this isn’t simply an epic and tragic second. Quite, primarily based on this submit, it’s this second that will truly lead instantly into Doomsday.
Within the submit, titled, “There’s no method all Tony did with the Infinity Stones was ‘go away Thanos,’” consumer writes, amongst different issues, “I’ve a tough time believing that when [Iron Man] snapped, he simply willed away all of Thanos’ forces, I believe he undoubtedly would have tried to will into existence a method he didn’t die, or a method that the Earth could be protected within the occasion of his dying. This can be a genius with an object that may do something.”
Whereas it admittedly feels much less possible that Tony would instantly need to discover a method to not die, as he appeared absolutely dedicated to self-sacrifice and likewise was arguably too good to suppose that there could be no penalties of doing such a factor—in spite of everything, he was nervous even in regards to the occasions of Endgame as a result of he didn’t need to gamble together with his daughter’s existence—it is a compelling thought. For one factor, as this submit factors out, Thanos had a really clear, long-plotted aim together with his personal use of the Infinity Stones. Bruce Banner, likewise, had particular directions when he introduced everybody again. Tony, alternatively, was reacting pretty rapidly to the circumstances.
It’s attainable that he reacted within the second and it led to problems with how he used the stones, maybe leading to a variant of him (Doom) rising. It’s additionally very attainable, as this Reddit consumer argues, that Tony took this opportunity to guard Earth the way in which he at all times needed to, but it surely backfired. In truth, that feels very a lot in step with what has occurred within the MCU to this point. If any of those choices holds any reality, although, there’s one venture that might make that reveal completely essential, and that’s Endgame Encore. 4 further minutes of footage doesn’t seem to be plenty of time to make main modifications, however this might truly be loads of time to indicate a consequence of Iron Man’s snap. So, may or not it’s that? Followers have a bit longer earlier than they’ll know, as Encore hits theaters on Sept. 25.
