Rather than decline the offer, Harbour instead offered up a choice quote that fans have taken as confirmation of a major story beat.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\"><em><strong>Warning!<\/strong><\/em><em> Potential Avengers: Doomsday spoiler follows:<\/em><\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\"> &#8220;<em>You<\/em>&#8230; are Tony Stark,&#8221; Harbour said, using the Russian accent of his Red Guardian character.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">The dialogue appears to confirm that the inevitable reveal of Doctor Doom sharing a face with the MCU&#8217;s Tony Stark will take place at some point within Avengers: Doomsday, and that Red Guardian at least will be present when it occurs. It&#8217;s also, of course, a neat riff on Downey Jr.&#8217;s iconic &#8220;I am Iron Man&#8221; line \u2014 his final words as Tony Stark in the MCU to date.<\/p>\n<p><output class=\"box-wrapper jsx-2673806401\" data-cy=\"article-slideshow\"><button type=\"button\" style=\"display:none\" class=\"jsx-2228525885\"\/><span data-cy=\"slideshow-view-trigger\"><\/p>\n<div data-cy=\"slideshow-preview\" class=\"jsx-1711207865 slideshow-preview\">\n<h3 class=\"title5 jsx-62124236 jsx-1085005187\" data-cy=\"slideshow-preview-title\">The Most Surprising Avengers and Marvel Characters Not Announced for Doomsday<\/h3>\n<div data-cy=\"slideshow-images-container\" class=\"jsx-1711207865 images-container\"><button type=\"button\" data-cy=\"hero-image\" aria-label=\"Open Slideshow\" class=\"jsx-1711207865 hero-image\"><img alt=\"Despite five hours of streamed casting announcements, there are still several characters and actors fans are surprised won\u2019t be in Avengers: Doomsday. &#10;&lt;br&gt;&#10;&lt;br&gt;&#10;Some we knew about \u2013 such as Elizabeth Olsen\u2019s Scarlet Witch and Benedict Cumberbatch\u2019s Doctor Strange \u2013 but the following omissions are notable given the cosmic cross-over nature of what\u2019s shaping up to be an Avengers, X-Men and Fantastic Four cinematic extravaganza.&#10;\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"progressive-image jsx-2896921488 image aspect-ratio aspect-ratio-16-9 jsx-2605834259 jsx-2338608387 hover-opacity\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-cy=\"progressive-image\"\/><span class=\"button-text jsx-729543028 button button--primary jsx-3027214138 jsx-4266531355 row-pagination-button next contained centered round large\" data-cy=\"paginate next\" title=\"Open Slideshow\"><span class=\"ign-icon right-chevron jsx-2750866048 jsx-2919720488\" role=\"presentation\" aria-hidden=\"true\" data-cy=\"right-chevron\" style=\"mask:url(https:\/\/kraken.ignimgs.com\/_next\/static\/media\/RightChevron.272be43c.svg?cors=1) no-repeat center center \/ contain;background:currentColor\"\/><\/span><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/output><\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">While it seemed inevitable that the MCU&#8217;s heroes would eventually discover Robert Downey Jr. under Doom&#8217;s helmet, fans have been debating when exactly this reveal would take place, with some suggesting it would be saved for Avengers: Secret Wars. <\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Either way, it is surprising to see Harbour reveal this dialogue now, as it will no doubt be a key moment within the film. It&#8217;s easy to imagine the shock that some former allies of Tony Stark will express on discovering the news, particularly among veteran Avengers such as Chris Evans&#8217; Steve Rogers and Chris Hemsworth&#8217;s Thor.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Why <em>does <\/em>Doctor Doom look like Tony Stark? Apart from the obvious answer that Marvel wanted Downey Jr. back, the MCU looks set to confirm that Doom himself originates from the Fantastic Four&#8217;s reality \u2014 a different branch of the multiverse from the main 616 timeline. So, two versions of the same person are possible. <\/p>\n<p><output class=\"box-wrapper jsx-2673806401\" data-cy=\"article-video\"\/><\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Doom first appeared at the end of The Fantastic Four: First Steps, of course, though Doomsday&#8217;s most recent trailer also seemed to confirm that he had been known to Sue Storm for some time as Victor. Exactly how he became the all-powerful Doctor Doom remains to be seen however, though fans certainly have some theories. <\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">The past year has seen Harbour weather high-profile stories detailing elements of his private life with singer Lily Allen, and a seemingly-repaired working relationship with Stranger Things co-star Millie Bobbie Brown, who he will soon star again alongside in a fresh Netflix project. Alongside Doomsday, Harbour has also reportedly joined the cast of <u>John Rambo<\/u>.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\"><em>Image credit: Chris Delmas \/ AFP via Getty Images.<\/em><\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\"><em>Tom Phillips is IGN&#8217;s News Editor.
