Since this is a multiverse story (the Russos explicitly said it's building up to the collision of parallel universes in Secret Wars), it's possible that this is an alternate-universe version of Stark from somewhere out there in the Marvel multiverse.
The Russo's are smart, I'm glad they're involved. I think they'll urge to have it make sense versus just ignoring the casting.
My guess is Stark is/always has been some variant of Kang (which makes sense as a human that harnessed the power of time) and that Doom is basically just the anti-thesis of what Tony Stark would be. Maybe if he had built the weapon for 10 Rings, never left Afghanistan at the start and whatever that path lead him down. They all basically turn themselves into wizards of technology, and it makes sense that some versions of Stark would become time/dimension authoritarians like Kang and Doom.
I'd much rather this be the case than have some convoluted in story explanation of how Doctor Doom is some multiverse variant of Tony Stark. There's too much Tony Stark all over the MCU already. And Victor Von Doom is a good enough character on his own.

I don't know how to feel about this.
RDJ was amazing in this universe but can you pull it off twice? Initial reaction is this is a cash grab and desperate attempt to hype up Avengers again.
My reaction to this is that Marvel must be incredibly desperate
RDJ is instantly more watchable in any role than Jonathan Majors, whose appeal I never quite understood at all, so I'm curious to see how it shakes out, but this and the big surprise cameo in Deadpool just make it feel like they're really out of ideas.

I'm hoping. I'm so sick of the multiverse and don't want this to be some variant bull####.

I'm not a huge fan of the multi-verse stuff either, but it seems insane to take your marquee star from 20 years of movies that go out of their way to make sure they all connect as much as possible, and then make him a totally different character without it being connected somehow. I just don't see it happening.
That said, if he never removes the mask I suppose it could be anyone.
It’s a big risk. He could tarnish his legacy with marvel and it could crash and burn. I’m getting oceans twelve Julia Robert’s vibes here. It could be really ugly. Or it could be the greatest thing ever.

That'll never happen, movie studios don't pay these stars millions to not show their pretty faces. It's why Spiderman's mask always comes off.
