Tom Taylor, who co-created Superior Iron Man, is speaking out after the character began trending following the new Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness trailer’s debut during Sunday’s Super Bowl game. The trailer includes a shot of a figure wreathed in orange-red energy. Fans examining the scene believe there’s the outline of an armor suit underneath, leading them to believe this is an Iron Man variant. Specifically, they believe it is the Superior Iron Man played by Tom Cruise, who had been considered for Tony Stark in the 1990s before Robert Downey Jr. originated the role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
