No way home with a big twist

Spider-Man: No Way HomeTom Holland’s ending established a new direction for Peter Parker, but a big Avengers: Judgment Day the theory shows how the Marvel Cinematic Universe could reverse this decision. After many complaints about the Multiverse Saga feeling directionless, Marvel Studios abandoned Kang the Conqueror and his variants, opting to cast Robert Downey Jr. as Doctor Doom, the franchise’s new main villain. The character is expected to appear in at least three upcoming MCU films, with Doctor Doom Reportedly Set to Debut in Fantastic Four Reboot before starring Avengers: Judgment Day and Avengers: Secret Wars.

As Doom will only appear in a post-credits scene in the MCU’s Fantastic Four film, the villain’s first major role in the franchise will come in Avengers: Judgment Daythe story. This film will make you formally the biggest threat in the Multiverse Sagaand as such, the character will face off against many of the franchise’s heroes. This includes Tom Holland’s Spider-Man. However, Peter Parker should have a different reaction to meeting Doctor Doom compared to most of the other Avengers, and a new theory shows how Spider-Man: No Way Homethe ending of may be affected by this.

Avengers: Doomsday Theory has Doctor Doom helping Peter Parker

The MCU could use RDJ’s casting as a story element

Doctor Doom was the natural replacement for Kang the Conqueror when Marvel decided to abandon Jonathan Majors and his MCU villain. However, no one expected the studio to go after Robert Downey Jr. The fact that the actor is famous for his role in Iron Man has raised alarms, as this could mean that Marvel is using the multiverse to make Doom a variant of Tony Stark. However, that does not appear to be what is at stake. When it was revealed that RDJ would play Doctor Doom, one of the directors of the upcoming Avengers films called him Victor von Doom.

Despite apparently being Victor von Doom due to the casting of RDJ the Marvel villain inevitably has the same face as the MCU’s Iron Man. This should lead to some exciting moments when heroes close to Tony Stark discover his face hidden by Doctor Doom’s mask. One of the characters who will certainly have the biggest reaction to this reveal is Tom Holland’s Spider-Man, as Downey’s Iron Man was his mentor, and his death had a huge impact on Peter Parker. A new Avengers: Judgment Day the theory has Doctor Doom exploiting this connection to his advantage.

According to Reddit user Fluid-Bell895’s theory, Robert Downey Jr.’s Doctor Doom could use his vast knowledge of magic – which the character could have in the MCU as well as the comics – to reverse Doctor Strange’s spell. This way, Doom would be able to get Holland’s Spider-Man to trust him, as Peter would be happy to see all the MCU heroes and their loved ones remember who he is. This would effectively undo Spider-Man: No Way HomeDoom’s ending, and Doom’s manipulation of Spider-Man, could be the key to convincing other heroes that he is good at Avengers: Judgment Day.

Doctor Doom could also appear in Spider-Man 4

Through his possible manipulation of Spider-Man, Doctor Doom may end up victorious in Avengers: Judgment Day.

The duo, who will direct Avengers: Judgment Day & Secret WarsThanos destroyed half the universe at the end of Avengers: Infinity War before being defeated by the Avengers in End of the game. The same thing could happen in the next Earth’s Mightiest Heroes movie. Like in the comics, Robert Downey Jr.’s Doctor Doom Could Successfully Create Battleworldgoverning the characters of the multiverse.

If Avengers: Judgment Day ends with Doctor Doom winning and creating Battleworld, so it would make a lot of sense for Downey’s MCU villain to appear in Spider-Man 4. After some recent updates, it was revealed that Tom Holland Spider-Man 4 will be released on July 24, 2026. This means that the film will be released between the two Avengers films in the Multiverse Saga.

As such, Doctor Doom and Spider-Man could cross paths even if he isn’t the film’s villain.
