Robert Downey Jr. just revealed the biggest difference between Tony Stark and Doctor Doom, and it may explain exactly where Marvel is taking Victor von Doom in Avengers: Doomsday.

At San Diego Comic-Con, Marvel showed exclusive footage revealing that Doom's tragic past includes the loss of his family. Shortly after, Robert Downey Jr. explained that while Tony Stark and Victor von Doom are both brilliant scientists shaped by trauma, Tony became a hero because of it... while Doom took the opposite path.

Could this be Marvel's new motivation for Doctor Doom? And how closely will it follow the comics?

In this video, I break down:
• Robert Downey Jr.'s comments about Doctor Doom
• The new Avengers: Doomsday footage shown at SDCC
• The comic book parallels behind Doom's origin
• What Doom's motivations could mean for the MCU moving forward

Do you like Marvel's new direction for Doctor Doom, or would you rather they stay closer to the comics? Let me know in the comments.
