Bollywood’s king, Shah Rukh Khan, could soon become a global superhero icon. According to recent buzz, Khan is reportedly in discussions with Marvel Studios for a role in an upcoming Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) project. While neither the actor nor the studio has officially confirmed the deal, fans across the world are already speculating about what character he might play.
Not Doctor Doom, but… Maybe the Real One?
Fueling this speculation is a viral fan theory suggesting that SRK could be cast as the “real” Doctor Doom in the MCU’s upcoming Avengers: Doomsday. The theory proposes that while Robert Downey Jr. may appear as a decoy version of Doom, the true villain could be revealed as a new character played by Shah Rukh Khan.
Though this remains unverified, the theory has gained traction for its bold storytelling and the potential for diverse representation in the MCU.
A Global Moment for Indian Cinema
If the rumors prove true, this move would mark a monumental moment for Indian cinema on the global stage. SRK’s entry into the world’s most successful superhero franchise would not only break new ground for his career but also open doors for greater South Asian presence in Hollywood blockbusters.
