My idea for a Iron Man Reboot after Secret Wars
Now, with Doomsday coming next month and Secret Wars coming out next year as the reset button. Even though it's not a complete reset, they are keeping a lot of actors, like Anthony Mackie he's not going anywhere- and Letitia Wright, because she will be in Black Panther 3 after all. Of course, Tom Holland and the Fantastic 4 cast are sticking around. However, I heard a rumor that Marvel is planning to recast and reboot some of its characters. I already heard that Marvel is going to recast Wolverine, and there is a rumor that an Alpha Flight movie is happening, with the Bear actor in talks to play him. It's a weird choice, but hey, we'll see. Also, there's a rumor that Iron Man is going to be rebooted too, because let's face it: Iron Heart sucked, and she wasn't a good successor to the character.
I think it is time to bring back Tony Stark, aka Iron Man, because we need to see the character, and look, I loved RDJ as Iron Man. He always will be Iron Man, but it is time to recast because these characters will live on forever, and we've had so many Spider-Men, Batmen, Supermen, and Hulks. Not to mention, I think Robert is done after this film.
So here is my idea for a Iron Man reboot set after Secret Wars.
First, I would call the film The Invincible Iron Man and would adapt DoomQuest because this film needs to be small, like I know Armor Wars is something Marvel wants to make despite failed adaptations. I think they should save it for a future film, since it needs more build-up. So the first film would focus on Iron Man fighting Dr. Doom, but they go back in time to King Arthur's Court. I went with this because the same actor plays both characters, but in this film, different actors play them.
We would see many of Iron Man's supporting characters, old and new, but they'd be recast and have new stories that won't be the same ones from Phases One and Three. We'd also see some villains we haven't seen before in Iron Man projects. Now, before I get into the rest of my ideas, here is my cast for an Iron Man reboot.
I think Glen Powell is the right guy to play Iron Man after RDJ because he has the right cocky attitude, and his performances in Top Gun: Maverick, Running Man, and Star Fox prove it. Also, if I were to recast Iron Man, I would go with an actor in his mid-30s to early 40s. Tony Stark has been reborn in this universe, and Iron Man is back in action. However, he learns that someone has been selling illegal electronics and booster circuits to Laverita. He confronts Dr. Doom, but later both he and Doom are sent back in time and now must find a way to return home, and also must work with Victor Von Doom to do it.
Sophie Skeleton as Bethany Cabe
Bethany Cabe is Tony's Love Interest; this time, no Pepper Potts in this film. Bethany heads Stark Security and has her own security business with her best friend, Ling McPherson. She also helped Tony with his drinking, as she lost a boyfriend to drugs, which haunted her for a long time, and she didn’t do anything to stop it.
Jim Rhoedy will appear in the film and is currently War Machine after Tony gets sent back in time with Dr. Doom. Rhoedy and Bethany try to find a way to bring them back, but Rhoedy also deals with Doombots in the film, and he later learns the Freedom Fighters aren't actually good guys.

Happy would appear in the film as Tony's bodyguard and one of his main best friends. Happy still brings the laughs and always is there for Tony.
Andie Ju as Ling McPherson
Ling works alongside Bethany and even owns her own part-time security business outside of Stark Industries.
Yvette works at Stark Industries as manager of the Paris Division. She is a good friend of Tony Stark and supports him as Iron Man.
Robert Aramayo as King Arthur
King Arthur joins the MCU, and Iron Man isn't surprised to learn he's real, since he knows Thor; Arthur even mentions meeting Thor as a boy and trying to wield Mjolnir but not being worthy. King Arthur is a noble, good king, and his appearance sets up Captain Britain. When King Arthur meets Iron Man, Dr. Doom is shocked by their armor and technology until Merlin explains they are from the future. King Arthur and Tony would work together, and King Arthur even knighths Tony as Ser Anthony Stark, the Golden Knight.
Simon Pegg as Merlyn

Merlin from the King Arthur Legend is in the film, and he's one of the most powerful sorcerers, even helping Tony build a suit with magic. We see Merlin at the end of the film, still alive in the future, and he has a quest to give Excalibur to a man named Brian Braddock. Setting up a Captain Britain film.
Luke Evans as Victor Von Doom/Dr. Doom
Dr. Doom would be the film's main villain, and I think Luke Evans is a great choice to play Dr. Doom after RDJ. Dr. Doom has been buying sold Stark International components from a secret seller. Iron Man confronts Doom, and the two fight until they are both sent back in time. Dr. Doom has also been practicing magic because he wants to go back and save his mother and father from being killed by the Laverita rulers that Doom overthrew. Dr. Doom then joins Morgana and promises to help him reunite with his parents, but in the end they are both defeated; Doom grows to respect Stark after they both work together to get home, and in the end Tony helps him stop the Freedom Fighters, learning they were fakes.
Emma Mackey as Morgana Le Fay
Morgana Le Fay serves as a secondary villain in the film, convincing Doom to fight alongside her as he seeks to learn more dark magic to bring back his parents. However, Morgana uses Doom to take over Camelot with his magic; they summon an undead army, but Iron Man stops her in the end.
Ali Fazal as Cagliostro

Gert is a scientist for Dr. Doom; however, he secretly works to get rid of Doom, as Doom took over Lavertia, and he is a secret member of the Freedom Fighters.
King Zobra is the rightful ruler of Lavertia and leader of the Freedom Fighters, but in truth they aren't good guys, and you see why Doom took over Lavertia. He welcomes Iron Man and agrees to help him take down Doom until Iron Man learns that Zobra is only using him to take back his throne.
Karadick is the General of Laverita's Armies and one of Doom's top generals.
Aiden Eherenreich as Zeke Stane/Iron Monger
Zeke Stane would appear in a mid-credit scene as he tests his new Biotech armor and sets out to avenge his father and kill Tony Stark. Zeke would be the main villain in the second Iron Man movie.
Now that's my cast for a Iron Man Reboot.
10. The film is one of the new films of a Post-Secret Wars MCU.
I think rebooting a character from the early phases is also a good idea because it shows they are starting fresh and lets us tell more stories about characters we haven't heard yet. I think Iron Man should be the first character to reboot post-Secret Wars. We haven't gotten an Iron Man film in a while, so let's do it.
Now, we all love RDJ's Iron Man; it's one of the best adaptations of a Marvel character, and RDJ owned that role. However, it is time to see a new take on the character and what would make this Iron Man different from RDJ's. Here are five ways he differs.
1. His origin is the same, except he has a tumor in his heart, and a heart reactor helps him battle the cancer. He also had a drinking problem, but Bethany helped him through it, and that’s why he never drinks alcohol.
2. This Iron Man works to be a better person, and instead of making weapons, he wants to help the world.
3. He's been Iron Man for a while, and he knows other heroes. He’s been Iron Man for about five years, like the Fantastic 4 First Steps. In fact he is good friends with Reed Richards.
4. He has fought some of his foes like Iron Monger, who is dead at this point, Whiplash, Crimson Dynamo, and many more.
5. This Iron Man is one of the smartest men alive and the greatest inventor, and he even proves he doesn't need billions to create his work. He has created Ai like Jarvis, Friday, and many more. I heard about the VisionQuest recon don't like it.
6. He’s been on the Avengers, and he will wear Iron Man suits we have not seen on the big screen yet.
Now, we all love Pepper Potts, but we've seen Spider-Man with a new love interest: Gwen Stacy in the Amazing Spider-Man films and Michelle Jones in the MCU films. Of course, we have seen it in Batman films too. So Iron Man isn't with Pepper; he is dating Bethany Cable. Bethany is very different from Pepper: she is the head of security, and she helped Tony with his drinking. Bethany also works with her best friend Ling, as they own their own Security business. She also knows how to defend herself and is skilled in combat. Bethany would be an interesting new love interest for Tony because we haven't seen this character, and I want to bring in characters we haven't seen yet.
7. Dr. Doom being the main villain works for the first Iron Man film.
Dr. Doom is set to be the villain in Doomsday, and they'll likely do more with the character. So I think having him as the main villain in the first Iron Man movie works for two reasons. First, the two characters have a lot of beef with each other, and second, both characters were played by RDJ. That's why Doom is a good first villain; even Jon Faverau wanted to make Dr. Doom the villain in an Iron Man movie, but couldn't because Fox owned the film rights at the time. We would also see Doombots in the film, and we learn more about Dr. Doom’s backstory and why he took Laverita and why he wanted ot learn magic.
6. The film would also set the stages for Captain Britain.
Since the film has Iron Man go back in time to Camelot, it sets up Captain Britain because there have been talks of a film or show. Since Captain Britain's story is connected to the King Arthur legend, it would be cool to set up this character.
Most of the Iron Man movies never dealt with magic or sorcery, but this film does, as Tony Stark is in the dark ages with no technology, but Doom doesn't care because he has also studied magic. They work together at first, but Doom joins Morgana and helps try to conquer Camelot; she teaches him magic that will reunite him with his mother. Iron Man, of course, sides with King Arthur, and Merlin helps create an Iron Man suit with magic. The two battle at the end; Iron Man defeats Morgana, and they return home. However, Iron Man learns that the Freedom Fighters are fakes and takes them down. Dr. Doom still rules Latveria, and Iron Man explains that Tony and Victor have grown to respect one another, but warns him that if he tries to take his work again, he will bring him down for good. Dr. Doom understands, and the two shake hands.
4. No Pepper Potts but she will appear eventually.
Pepper Potts isn't in the first Iron Man film, but she appears in later films and plays a major role. She even wears more of her Rescue armor in future films. As I wrote before, Pepper and Tony dated and worked together, but she left and formed her own company afterward. Tony and Pepper's breakup ended badly, but in the next two films they make up. In the second film, we would see Pepper and her Rescue suit, fighting alongside Tony.
It's also revealed that Tony design the suit for her as a birthday gift.
Also I would cast Jodi Comer as the new Pepper Potts.
The next Iron Man film would adapt Five Nightmares, where Zeke Stane seeks revenge for his father's death at Tony's hands. The third film would adapt Armor Wars, with Justin Hammer as the main villain as he assembles all of Tony's biggest enemies and steals all of his armors, because all he wants is to destroy Iron Man's legacy.

2. Iron Man will be an important character in this post Secret Wars era.
Iron Man was one of the most important characters in the MCU, and we all know the MCU wants to double its focus on mutants. However, Iron Man should still be important, since he started it all. Iron Man would even team up with characters like Wolverine, Cyclops, and Gambit, and he would see him fight Magneto; that would be an interesting fight. Also, Tony is already on the Avengers, and we will see him as a major character in those films.
If we get another Avengers film, it just needs to be a story that involves only the Avengers and no other heroes. It needs to be a standalone Avengers film. I would also tease that Iron Man is already an Avenger, and we would see that as a new Avengers team on the rise. Now, if it were up to me, I would make an original team or adapt the proper New Avengers. If it were an original team, it would be Iron Man, Captain America (Sam Wilson, because let's face it, the MCU is determined not to get rid of Sam), Ant-Man, Wasp, Thor, Black Panther, and Black Widow (Who will likely be recast after Secret Wars too, and I heard a rumor that they plan to reboot Ant-Man and Wasp, but this time with Hank and Janet). Or I would adapt a proper New Avengers with Spider-Man and Wolverine on the team with Luke Cage, Ms. Marvel, and Spider-Woman.
That's my idea for a Iron Man Reboot after Secret Wars.
Let me know what you think?
