While everyone is hyped for the new Doctor Strange movie and expects new characters to be introduced, not many anticipated this particular one – Superior Iron Man.

Whether or not this variant of Iron Man is in the upcoming ‘Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness,’ the speculation is going wild, with many fans jumping to conclusions. Meanwhile, in this article, we’ll take a look at the superhero and the possibility of Superior Iron Man in the movie being played by Tom Cruise.

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is one of the most anticipated movies dropping in 2022. Meanwhile, the upcoming movie will feature many variants of the existing Marvel superhero’s, as can be seen in the movie’s trailers. The movie’s plot will revolve around Doctor Strange casting a forbidden spell that enables a portal to the multiverses. While this was already shown in Spider-Man: No Way Home, the second Doctor Strange film will delve further into the scenario.

In addition to Doctor Strange, the movie will feature many Marvel comics superheroes, including American Chavez, Charles Xavier, Baron Mordo, and a character played by the Evil Dead star Bruce Campbell. However, the most unexpected of them is the addition of Superior Iron Man in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.

Who is Superior Iron Man?

For the uninitiated, Superior Iron Man is a variant of Iron Man. While Iron Man is the good-doer superhero Tony Stark, Superior Iron Man is the antagonist and villainous version of Iron Man. The character first appeared in Axis, which was Marvel’s 2014 crossover event.

During the event, Scarlett Witch casts a spell to invert Red Skull’s brain and bring forward Charles Xavier. However, the spell also changed the mortality of Earth’s 616 heroes and villains. With a change in personality, the now evil Iron Man wreaks havoc with his new Extremis app. The app was originally a virus designed to infiltrate society, called Extremis 3.0 virus.

Towards the end of Axis, everyone reverted to their usual selves. Except for Iron Man, who used a shield to protect himself from the reversal spell. Furthermore, we get several more months of Superior Iron Man wreaking havoc on Earth 616, making almost everyone addicted to the Extremis app.

However, the evil version of Iron Man spent his final moments fist fighting Captain America. Afterward, he was ultimately killed when the original Marvel Universe and the Ultimate Marvel Universe collided, killing everyone and ending the entire multiverse.
