RDJ is the face of Marvel. After Iron Man in Endgame, I had a feeling that he'll come back, maybe from another universe, but I wasn't expecting this

I can't thank Marvel enough for bringing Robert Downey Jr. back. MCU was incomplete without him

Thanos told Tony that he's not the only one cursed with knowledge, and Doctor Doom is a major character in MC. if you see what he is capable of it makes sense.
WHAT IF?? Dr Doom is a version of Tony Stark

What happened to Avengers: The Kang Dynasty??????

yup it was canceled. Marvel decided to take a safer route because of the Jonathan Majors situation, and I think this could be a good decision. Kang was a major part of the movies, and they showed what he's capable of, but with LOKI season 2, I think Kang is managed. They can now focus on introducing new characters.
