Ahead of its release, a theory has been doing the rounds on the internet which suggests a strong connection between its antagonist, Doctor Doom and Iron Man. Interestingly, both of them are played by Robert Downey Jr. The actor has been recast as the villain for the future phase of the MCU. So let us decipher the connection.

“Day One…” the Russo Brothers wrote on Instagram with a photo of a chair that reads, “Victor Von Doom.” The chair is in the spirit of the Doomsday casting announcement, which was also done by showing the actors’ names on a chair. The chair of Victor Von Doom belongs to Robert Downey Jr., who will play Doctor Doom in the next two Avengers movies.
