10 New Marvel Cinematic Universe Casting Rumours You Need To Know About
6. Tom Cruise As Iron Man
The expectation is that Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness will include visits to any number of alternate Earths and timelines, and with Sam Raimi at the helm, many fans have been keeping everything crossed that Tobey Maguire's Spider-Man could make a surprise appearance.
As spectacular as that would be, one wacky rumour which recently popped up online claimed that a number of cameos are in the works showing different actors playing familiar faces.
One idea being considered is that Tom Cruise would play Tony Stark from another Earth. Remember, he was once up for the lead role in Iron Man before Robert Downey Jr. landed the gig, and the Mission: Impossible actor likely wouldn't turn down a high paying bit part in a Marvel Cinematic Universe film.
It's really tricky to imagine this panning out, but the Sorcerer Supreme landing on an Earth and coming face to face with Iron Man - only for him to unmask and have a totally different face - would be a cool moment, and one which would definitely take moviegoers by surprise a couple of years from now.
