There are only a few original A-list actors left who have yet to star in a Marvel movie. They are DiCaprio, Clooney, Hanks, Will Smith and maybe a few others.
And with reports that Tom Cruise is “in talks” to join the Marvel Cinematic Universe, those numbers could drop even further.
It was heavily rumored earlier that the Mission: Impossible star would make a brief appearance in Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness. The Superior Iron-Man is a member of the Illuminati, a group of superheroes from a different dimension who are mentioned in the latest Doctor Strange feature film.

Iron Man Superior Tony Stark
Prior to Robert Downey Jr.., Tom Cruise almost took on the role of Iron Man in 2004. In the end, he refused. The MCU as we know it today was launched by Iron Man (2008). People wonder what would have happened if Tom Cruise had been cast in the role. Is this how Marvel presents the What If… in real life if he took the role?
There are many MCU-related scenarios that could happen. Steve Rogers, for example, skipped the Super Soldier serum and Peggy Carter became Captain Britain.
Tom Cruise is reportedly joining the MCU, sources say.
Yes, for the moment Marvel Studios could conceal its appearance in Avengers Secret Wars. In Spider-Man: No Way Home, they succeeded. For months, Andrew Garfield and Tobey Maguire have issued denials.
According to sources, Tom Cruise is being considered for the role of Superior Iron Man in Marvel Studios’ crossover epic Secret Wars.
Superior Iron-Man

Superior Iron Man is still Tony Stark, but he grew out of the Marvel Comics event known as the Axis event, in which a spell changed the morals of all of the universe’s key heroes. Evil Stark shielded himself from the spell before it could be reversed, ensuring he remained evil. As soon as things returned to normal, Stark began using his wits and limitless wealth to more or less covertly rule the world.
He started spreading a virus disguised as an app and turned everyone in the world into a chemical slave to Stark’s invention. He used the population’s addiction to his software as leverage to make him pay for a subscription. By lobbying other companies to give the app ethically exemplary reviews, he managed to hide himself from other superheroes and the general public. By the time Stark’s evil plan was revealed, the damage had already been done because everyone assumed Stark had been restored to normal.
In order to operate as his own personal police force and impose his will on the already vulnerable public. Evil Stark had developed a group of advanced drones and made them available to the general public. Technically, Superior Iron Man never lost. When two realities collided during an incursion, he was killed while battling Captain America. Superior Iron Man’s last words to Steve Rogers were that he had no regrets, despite the fact that all life had been exterminated in both universes.
