Multiverse of Madness is the next film on Marvel Studios’ slate, and it’s set to bring Benedict Cumberbatch back into the titular role as he tries to keep all reality from breaking apart.

There is an endless string of rumors as to what fans may see going into the movie, from the return of Professor Xavier to the inclusion of Mr. Fantastic or Deadpool.

One of those many rumored appearances is a Variant of Tony Stark’s Iron Man. In fact, many people claimed they saw him in the recent trailer.

In an interview with Empire, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness producer Richie Palmer teased the possible inclusion of Iron Man and The Illuminati in the upcoming film.

While it remains to be seen if any version of the hero will make an appearance, the mystery ball of energy is more than likely a Variant of Captain Marvel.

The figure actually looks like it could be someone along the lines of Maria or Monica Rambeau; maybe in that timeline, one of those two ended up with Captain Marvel’s powers instead of Carol Danvers.

If Tony Stark does happen to make it into the film in any form, where could he show up? Well, the answer is simple: the Illuminati.

Either way, fans should brace themselves for plenty of surprises when they go and see Multiverse of Madness on May 6 later this year.
