"They're going over the schedule with me, and it's going to suck," Stern is heard saying.
"I told you, I'm going to do 'Doctor Doom.' That's the thing. But believe me, I'm f - king miserable about it…I called Robert Downey, Jr. and I was asking him acting techniques."
The video spread swiftly on social media and sparked a lot of discussion. Should Doctor Doom be interviewed by Howard Stern? What-If Season 2 episode would he appear in? Was it a completely elaborate joke?

Doctor Doom is currently receiving a lot of media attention, regardless. The time is right for Victor Von Doom to make his MCU debut, especially after a certain cameo in Doctor Strange And the Multiverse of Madness. The infamous villain has yet to appear in any MCU production. Doctor Doom would be an intriguing terrestrial danger with Kang the Conquerer perhaps unleashing havoc in the universe.
