Marvel dissolves all rumors about Tom Cruise’s Iron Man in Doctor Strange 2
There were huge expectations regarding the comeback of Superior Iron Man in the pre-release period. It is due to the appearance of the mysterious character in the trailer of the movie hat travels like a beam of light in a face-off against Wanda. Fans were quick to call him Tom Cruise’s Superior Iron Man.
But after the release of the movie, it is clear that it was not Tom’s Iron Man but it is Lashana Lynch as Captain Marvel. The screenwriter named Michael Waldron has recently opened up and dissolved all fan theories and rumors. He told Rolling Stone, “Yeah, that was totally made up. I mean there’s no cut footage of Tom Cruise! But I love Tom Cruise, and I said to (Marvel Studios president) Kevin (Feige) at one point, I was like, Could we get Tom Cruise’s, Iron Man? I remember reading about that in Ain’t It Cool News back in the day, that Tom Cruise was going to be Iron Man.”
Previously Tom Cruise was asked to play the role of Tony Stark while they are casting for Iron Man (2008). It was actually before the time when Robert Downey Jr. was asked to play the role. If the audience happened to see Tom Cruise in the Iron Suit, then it would be an emotional throwback for all the fans from Marvel’s inception days. According to the comics, Superior Iron Man is an evil version of the Iron Man that we saw RDJ donning.
The screenwriter has further revealed that Tom Cruise was indeed being considered, but things did not fall in place due to the actor’s “availability”. He said it would’ve been “cool” to have Tom in Doctor Strange 2, but “he was shooting Mission Impossible 7 and 8”. According to Rolling Stone, Michael said “bringing Cruise in was considered, but ultimately never happened because of availability”.
It is not much far away from the dream where fans will get to see the alternate version of Iron Man in the future with America Chavez entering into the world of MCU. Essayed by actor Xochitl Gomez, America Chavez is a teenage superhero who can travel between different dimensions on a whim, by punching open doorways.
