Okay, Marvel fans! The rumours of a new Iron Man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) have been going stronger and stronger each day, with reports and apparently, photos suggesting that the role will be played by none other than Mission Impossible man Tom Cruise.

As you know, before the legendary portrayal of Iron Man AKA Tony Stark by Robert Downey Jr., Tom was the Hollywood actor who was offered the role.

Now, while it was Robert Downey Jr. who ended up making his mark in the MCU, it sure looks like Marvel has given Tom another chance to right some wrongs.

As reported earlier, there had already been leaked photos of Tom as Iron Man, said to be taken from the sets of the upcoming and highly anticipated Dr. Strange 2 film.

Called Dr. Strange: Multiverse Of Madness, the film is rumoured to bring a plethora of superhero characters from different universes together.

Names like Tobey Maguire's Spider-Man, Hugh Jackman's Wolverine, Patrick Stewart's Professor X, as well as Loan Gruffudd's Reed Richards from Fantastic Four have already been forward as the ones returning in the film.

According to reports, Tom's portrayal as Iron Man will be very different to that of Robert Downey Jr. with the Top Gun actor suggested being a Tony Stark Variant.

RUMOR: (Iron Man) controls the Iron Legion, having effectively put a suit of armor around the world. He wears the helmet most of the time, but lifts it for the reveal. He is a bit deranged & an outcast among the illuminati for his obsessive, controlling nature. pic.twitter.com/naoQsK04hv

While Marvel has obviously kept mum on all of this, things surely look exciting AF!
