Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige has dismissed one of the biggest fan theories surrounding Avengers: Doomsday, confirming that Robert Downey Jr.&rsquo;s Doctor Doom is not a variant of Tony Stark.
The clarification addresses months of speculation since Downey&rsquo;s return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) was announced at San Diego Comic-Con in 2024. Best known for portraying Iron Man, the actor is set to take on the role of iconic Marvel villain Victor Von Doom.
Speaking to Empire magazine, Feige said Doom was not a shortcut to bringing back a familiar character. &ldquo;The answer is no. He&rsquo;s Victor Von Doom,&rdquo; he said, rejecting the idea that Doom is another version of an existing character.
Kevin Feige Says Doctor Doom Is Not An Iron Man Variant
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/78a7b17809ff9ff6505d77d653d2a3711d6fb41c2750ab32011248121b1fe1b8" />&nbsp;
The theory gained traction because Downey spent more than a decade playing Tony Stark before being cast as Doom. With Avengers: Doomsday expected to explore the multiverse, many fans assumed the two characters would be connected through an alternate timeline.
Feige addressed the speculation by asking whether Steve Rogers should be considered a variant of Johnny Storm, referring to Chris Evans&rsquo; portrayals of both characters in Marvel films. His point was that one actor can play two distinct characters without them necessarily being alternate versions of each other.
However, Downey&rsquo;s casting is different from Evans&rsquo; situation. Evans first played Johnny Storm in 20th Century Fox&rsquo;s Fantastic Four films before joining the MCU as Captain America. Downey, meanwhile, is returning to the same cinematic franchise in which he played Tony Stark.
The debate has also been fuelled by an Avengers: Endgame re-release post-credits scene, which reportedly shows Tony Stark working on what appears to be a Doctor Doom mask. It has prompted questions about whether the characters could have a deeper connection, although it does not establish that Doom is a Tony Stark variant.
The Russos Promise A Darker And More Terrifying Doctor Doom
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/8b10cb1b5e2076d0fa0d320ab9628bcacb773b71550c006b616cbf82a371085a" />
While Feige has clarified Doom&rsquo;s identity, directors Joe and Anthony Russo have offered a glimpse of the villain&rsquo;s personality and motivations.
Joe Russo described Doom as a gothic character with dark magic. He said the villain is willing to go to extreme lengths, even selling his soul, to achieve what he wants. &ldquo;He&rsquo;s worth being scared of,&rdquo; the director said.
The character&rsquo;s menace is also rooted in personal tragedy. Joe Russo revealed that Doom is a father who has lost a child and is profoundly affected by trauma. He suggested that this loss has helped shape the character audiences will see.
Co-director Anthony Russo distinguished Doom from Thanos, the antagonist of Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame. According to Anthony, Doom is driven more by ego, whereas Thanos believed he was acting in pursuit of a greater good.
The comments suggest Marvel intends to present Doom as a different kind of threat from the MCU&rsquo;s previous major villain, with his motivations shaped by personal loss, ambition and an overwhelming sense of self.
Robert Downey Jr. Says He Embraced Playing The Villain
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/0bf8d364e998979e91cfb2bad9d595b3167408b8b33971228c45108912c87ac6" />
Downey has also spoken about returning to the MCU as a villain.
In his interview with <a href="https://www.empireonline.com/movies/news/avengers-doomsday-doctor-doom-worth-being-scared-of-exclusive/">Empire</a>, the actor recalled realising a few days into filming that he was now &ldquo;the problem&rdquo; while the heroes were on the other side. He compared the moment to Michael Douglas&rsquo; character in the 1993 film Falling Down, who questions whether he is the villain.
Rather than resisting the change, Downey said he embraced the opportunity to play a villain. He teased that Doom&rsquo;s plans would be far more extreme than audiences might expect, describing his approach as enjoying &ldquo;a bit of scorched earth&rdquo;.
Downey&rsquo;s return as Doom was announced in July 2024. He later explained that discussions with Feige and the Russo brothers helped lead him to the role, after Feige raised the possibility of his return as Victor Von Doom.
Avengers: Doomsday Arrives In Malaysian Cinemas On 17 December
<iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/irVNGjRFZGk" width="560" height="314" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>
Despite Feige&rsquo;s firm denial, questions remain about why Marvel chose Downey to portray a character who is not supposed to be connected to Tony Stark. The studio has yet to explain how the film will address the fact that Doom and Iron Man share the same face, leaving audiences to wait for the story itself.
The upcoming film will bring together characters from across the Marvel universe, with the Avengers, Fantastic Four, X-Men, Wakandans and other heroes set to face Doom. Downey is also expected to reprise the role in Avengers: Secret Wars, the planned conclusion to the Multiverse Saga.
Avengers: Doomsday is scheduled to open in Malaysian cinemas on 17 December 2026, one day ahead of its US release on 18 December. The Malaysian date is listed by local cinema operators including GSC and TGV Cinemas.
For now, Feige&rsquo;s statement appears to settle the central question: Robert Downey Jr. is playing Victor Von Doom, not a multiversal version of Tony Stark. Whether the film can make that distinction convincing while explaining the familiar face is one of the biggest mysteries Marvel fans will be watching for.

Kevin Feige Confirms Doctor Doom Is Not A Tony Stark Variant In Avengers: Doomsday

Nvidia co-founder Jensen Huang has resigned as president and chief executive of the artificial intelligence chipmaker with immediate effect, bringing his 33-year leadership of the company to an abrupt end.
The announcement follows scrutiny over reports of extramarital relationships, including one involving a former Megaspeed International executive reportedly suspected by US intelligence officials of links to Chinese intelligence. The allegations remain unproven, and China has denied claims of espionage.
Huang&rsquo;s departure has unsettled global technology markets and affected Malaysian shares linked to artificial intelligence and data centres, including YTL Power International.
Nvidia Appoints Colette Kress As Interim CEO
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/755d3b63a4b7ac02971fac051e40991fcc01787161dad76c4e757cbf80641d5d" />
Nvidia confirmed that Huang had resigned as president, CEO and a member of its board, effective immediately. Chief Financial Officer Colette Kress will serve as interim CEO while the board searches for a permanent successor. She will retain her CFO role, which she has held since joining Nvidia in September 2013.
The company appointed long-serving board member Harvey C. Jones as its first-ever chair. Jones is a technology executive and investor who previously led Synopsys.
The board will consider internal and external candidates and said it expected operations, customer commitments and the technology roadmap to continue without interruption.
Affairs And Espionage Allegations Put Huang Under Scrutiny
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/1088c3d86f6cdd7795c8efd8bf911dd655f345c6368ea690b5bb5a3c2f229f14" />
Huang, 63, co-founded Nvidia in 1993 and led its transformation into a global AI computing leader.
The controversy intensified after reports linked him to Alice Huang, a former executive at Megaspeed. They are not related. US intelligence officials reportedly suspected Alice Huang of having links to Chinese intelligence, while Megaspeed faced scrutiny over allegations that restricted Nvidia chips may have been diverted to China.
On 8 November, Jensen Huang acknowledged in a message to employees that he had been unfaithful to his wife and apologised to his family. He also said he would co-operate with an independent investigation into concerns raised by reports about the relationship.
Nvidia&rsquo;s independent directors had launched an investigation, supported by external legal advisers, into whether Huang had been targeted by a foreign intelligence operation. The board previously said it had no reason to believe US national security or the company&rsquo;s confidential information had been compromised.
The New York Times later reported an alleged relationship involving Nvidia healthcare vice-president Kimberly Powell, while Reuters reported a further relationship with another employee. Nvidia and the individuals named have not publicly confirmed those reports.
Singapore&rsquo;s Ministry of Home Affairs said its investigation into Alice Huang concerned suspected offences linked to the purchase of servers exported through Singapore to Malaysia, not espionage. Authorities reportedly found insufficient evidence to establish that she had committed an offence, but issued her a stern warning over inaccurate information given to police and barred her from re-entering Singapore. This does not establish that she was a Chinese spy.
Nvidia Shares Fall As Malaysian Data Centre Stocks Feel The Pressure
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/8e7e69b0a7b142354d165cc97402f0b7c77c13a01996097628cb8d49b82dd883" />
Nvidia&rsquo;s chips power AI systems used by cloud providers and developers worldwide, making the leadership crisis significant for the wider industry.
Nvidia shares fell 4.3 per cent on 12 November, closing at US$166.19 after dropping sharply earlier in the session. The decline reduced the company&rsquo;s market value by about US$182 billion in a day.
The impact was also felt on Bursa Malaysia. YTL Power International shares fell 39 sen, or more than eight per cent, to RM4.40, wiping over RM3 billion from its market capitalisation. YTL Power operates an AI data centre in Johor equipped with Nvidia processors and is a partner of the chipmaker.
YTL Corp and NationGate Holdings also declined. There is, however, no verified evidence linking YTL Power to Megaspeed or any breach of US export controls; its share-price fall reflected wider market concerns, not an established finding of wrongdoing.
What Does Nvidia&rsquo;s Turmoil Mean For EPF?

<script async="" src="https://www.threads.com/embed.js"></script>

The sell-off has drawn attention to the Employees Provident Fund&rsquo;s investments in Nvidia and YTL Power.
US regulatory filings for the second quarter of 2026 showed EPF held approximately 6.85 million Nvidia shares, valued at around US$1.37 billion at the end of that reporting period. This is a historical snapshot and does not establish the fund&rsquo;s current position or the precise impact of the latest share-price movements.
Bursa disclosures showed EPF held a direct stake of about 12.9 per cent in YTL Power following share acquisitions reported on 12 November. EPF said its total investment assets stood at RM1.54 trillion as at 30 June 2026, while investment income reached RM57.5 billion in the first half of the year.
EPF has said unrealised market-value fluctuations are not distributable as dividends, which are supported by realised gains and investment income.
A Leadership Change At A Critical Time For AI
Nvidia is scheduled to announce its third-quarter fiscal 2027 results on 17 November, offering investors an early opportunity to hear from its leadership following Huang&rsquo;s departure.
Although Nvidia expects business and product plans to continue, replacing the founder who shaped its strategy will be a major challenge for the board and the wider AI industry.

Jensen Huang Resigns As Nvidia CEO After Affair Scandal As Malaysian Shares Feel The Impact

A brutal machete attack in Kepong that left a 26-year-old police officer with his right hand severed has prompted Kuala Lumpur&rsquo;s police chief to remind frontline personnel to remain prepared to defend themselves when facing life-threatening situations.
Kuala Lumpur Police Chief Datuk Fadil Marsus directed officers to be ready to draw their firearms and respond decisively to dangerous situations following the incident at an apartment in Desa Amanpuri on 11 November. The injured lance corporal has since undergone successful emergency surgery at Hospital Kuala Lumpur (HKL), where specialists managed to reattach his severed hand.
The incident has renewed attention on the risks faced by police and other first responders during volatile operations, as well as the rules governing the use of firearms by law enforcement officers.
KL Police Chief Issues Firearm Readiness Directive
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/cd5f918d309dd3320cb48e7d12e1d76d481b23505afdf84d70d7140189b19eeb" />
In an audio recording shared on the Kuala Lumpur Police Facebook page, Fadil urged personnel serving on the ground to stay alert, maintain operational readiness and avoid hesitation when confronted by serious threats.
He told officers to know how to draw their weapons and be prepared to use them when their lives were in danger. His remarks included the instruction to shoot when faced with resistance, uncertainty or a perceived threat, warning officers not to wait until they had suffered serious injuries.
Fadil said he did not want an incident like the Kepong attack to happen to other frontline personnel. His message emphasised three key priorities: constant readiness, proper tactical training and ensuring officers do not compromise their own safety while carrying out enforcement duties.
However, the directive should not be interpreted as permission to fire indiscriminately. Police use of firearms remains subject to Malaysian law and operational procedures. Under Sections 96 to 106 of the Penal Code, officers may exercise the right of private defence when facing an imminent threat, including danger of death or grievous hurt. The force used must be justified by the circumstances.
The Criminal Procedure Code also places restrictions on the use of force during arrests. Internal police procedures provide further guidance on firearm deployment, including warnings where circumstances allow and reporting requirements after a weapon is discharged.
What Happened During The Kepong Machete Attack?
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/e38d6bf4a993fc7116ac11bdc6eb0144431027e373680500193f31bd990f3999" />
Police received information from members of the public at around 4pm on 11 November about a man behaving aggressively at a residential unit in Desa Amanpuri, Kepong.
A team involving police officers, Fire and Rescue Department personnel and Ministry of Health staff arrived at the apartment at about 7pm to handle the situation. However, when the team opened the unit&rsquo;s door, the man reportedly rushed out carrying two machetes and attacked those present.
A 26-year-old lance corporal attached to the Gombak District Police Headquarters&rsquo; Mobile Patrol Vehicle (MPV) unit suffered the most serious injuries. His right hand was severed at the wrist, and he also sustained injuries to his head and body. Several firefighters and Health Ministry personnel reportedly suffered minor injuries.
The suspect fled after the attack but was located near a playground close to the apartment between 7.30pm and 8pm. When officers approached him to make an arrest, he allegedly attempted to attack them again with a machete.
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/a08f29905056cf9b552fbb699e0479850102e7253daf66e7347aec5644ae8879" />
Police then fired several shots in self-defence. The suspect was wounded, and officers attempted to take him to hospital for treatment. However, he was pronounced dead upon arrival at Hospital Selayang.
HKL Specialists Successfully Reattach Officer&rsquo;s Hand
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/50b879f60d2067e46b80ca4dac0195db74c9963cfd9edfefadb6a3c27b8ad3dd" />
Following the attack, the injured officer was initially taken to Hospital Selayang before being transferred to HKL for specialist treatment.
The 26-year-old lance corporal underwent emergency hand replantation surgery, which was successfully completed at 8.40am on 12 November. The procedure involved reattaching his severed hand, offering hope following the severe injury.
Hand replantation is a complex microsurgical operation that requires surgeons to reconnect delicate structures, including blood vessels, nerves, tendons and bones, to give the replanted hand the best possible chance of survival and function.
Although the operation was successful, the officer remains under medical observation. His longer-term recovery is still uncertain, and rehabilitation will be important in determining how much movement and function he may eventually regain.
News of the successful surgery prompted messages of relief and support online, with Malaysians expressing appreciation for the HKL medical team. Some social media users also shared personal experiences of undergoing similar procedures, offering encouragement to the officer and hoping he will regain the use of his hand.
Leaders Condemn Attack And Call For Officer&rsquo;s Recovery 
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/dbe92ab3fb91057ef2ec3bb3c0241af8df3034023f7abeda5d8345a8bf12e76c" />
Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim condemned the violence against enforcement personnel and offered prayers for the injured officer&rsquo;s speedy recovery. He stressed that violence, particularly against those responsible for public safety, would not be tolerated.
Home Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail also conveyed his wishes for the officer&rsquo;s recovery and called for a thorough investigation. He reminded everyone in Malaysia, regardless of nationality or background, to respect the country&rsquo;s laws.
The incident highlights the dangers faced by frontline police officers and emergency responders when attending reports involving potentially violent individuals. While Fadil&rsquo;s directive underlines the need for officers to be prepared to protect themselves, any use of firearms must still be justified and remain within the limits of Malaysian law.
For the injured lance corporal, the successful operation marks an encouraging first step. His recovery will now depend on continued medical care and rehabilitation.

KL Police Chief Tells Officers To Be Ready To Shoot After Kepong Attack Leaves Policeman’s Hand Severed

Vinda Malaysia has launched Vera&trade;, a new feminine care brand developed under the tagline &ldquo;By Women, For Women, Period&rdquo;, with a nationwide giveaway of one million menstrual products and what the company describes as Malaysia&rsquo;s first all-women concert.
The brand made its debut on 1 November at Surf Beach, Sunway Lagoon, combining product sampling, menstrual health education and live entertainment to introduce its range of sanitary pads, pantyliners and period underwear. The launch also saw Vera receive two Malaysia Book of Records titles: Largest Distribution of Menstrual Products and First All-Women Concert.
One Million Menstrual Products Distributed Nationwide
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/9537cf9f771fd8e5c74acb55d05f7c7c399168c0ad39793531a662ad8b473a26" />
As part of its launch, Vera distributed one million packs of menstrual products through outreach activities at schools, colleges, universities and workplaces across Malaysia. The initiative also reached underprivileged students at schools in the Klang Valley, Perak and Negeri Sembilan.
Alongside the giveaway, the brand is conducting menstrual hygiene education programmes in schools to help girls better understand their bodies and learn how to care for themselves during their periods.
Yapp Pau Ling, Country Head of Vinda Malaysia, said the brand was founded on the belief that women understand women best. She said its &ldquo;By Women, For Women, Period&rdquo; promise was intended to go beyond product features by creating a supportive community where women can discuss menstruation openly, without embarrassment.
The large-scale distribution was also designed to give consumers the opportunity to try Vera&rsquo;s products and experience the features behind the new range.
Ernie Zakri And Priscilla Abby Lead All-Women Concert
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/6bd439fd4ff93ca02b02933a1daef893b122634abe5b97ad069944ee5852f633" />
Vera introduced singers Ernie Zakri and Priscilla Abby as its brand ambassadors during the launch, which was marked by an all-women concert at Surf Beach, Sunway Lagoon.
The line-up included Ernie and Priscilla, alongside Vanessa Reynauld, Layla Sania and XONE, as well as DJs Bambi and Charisma. More than 6,000 fans attended the event, according to a report by A+M.
Vinda Malaysia said entertainment was chosen to connect with consumers through shared experiences and create a more approachable way to introduce a personal product category such as feminine care.
The concert and nationwide giveaway earned Vera its two Malaysia Book of Records recognitions. The company said the milestones reflected its aim to make menstrual care and conversations about periods more visible.
Vera Sanitary Pads, Pantyliners And Period Panties
Vera&rsquo;s product range includes sanitary pads, pantyliners and period panties in different sizes and designs. The brand says all its products feature its V-FIT&trade; hourglass design, intended to follow the body&rsquo;s natural curves, and V-FLOW&trade; channels, which guide menstrual flow evenly to support fast absorption and help prevent leaks.
One of its latest products is the Daun Sirih period panties, which contain extracts of daun sirih and cica leaves. Vinda Malaysia says the ingredients have antibacterial properties that help inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria, soothe the skin and keep the intimate area feeling fresh.
The period panties also feature a high-waisted cut, side guards for V-360&deg;&trade; coverage, a soft cotton-like feel and disposal tape to make wrapping and discarding the product more convenient.
Vera is backed by Vinda Malaysia&rsquo;s experience in the hygiene and personal care sector. The company&rsquo;s existing portfolio includes Vinda, Tempo, Libresse, Drypers, Dr P and TENA.

Taiwan has suspended bilateral investment negotiations with Malaysia following Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim&rsquo;s remarks describing the island as part of China. The diplomatic setback comes as a separate controversy involving Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang and a Singapore-based company with Malaysian operations raises questions about advanced artificial intelligence (AI) chip supply chains.
The two developments have attracted attention simultaneously, but there is no confirmed evidence linking them. Taipei has attributed the suspension to Anwar&rsquo;s comments, while the Nvidia controversy concerns possible breaches of United States export controls.
Taiwan Suspends Investment Talks After Anwar&rsquo;s One China Remarks
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/8562c4011586b95b56bcca44e4a7107d8e6cb919d78953c1e7c8b75ae013587b" />
Taiwan&rsquo;s Ministry of Foreign Affairs confirmed on 10 November that it had temporarily suspended bilateral investment negotiations with Malaysia. The talks, scheduled for late October, were intended to advance cooperation and update a 1993 investment agreement.
The decision followed Anwar&rsquo;s August interview with Al Jazeera, during which he said he regarded Taiwan as part of China, in line with Malaysia&rsquo;s longstanding One China policy. He also compared a possible attempt by Taiwan to separate from China with a Malaysian state seeking to break away from the federation.
Taipei objected strongly, arguing that the remarks appeared to justify Beijing&rsquo;s position on the possible use of force against the self-governed island. Foreign Ministry spokesman Hsiao Kuang-wei said the suspension was intended to protect Taiwan&rsquo;s sovereignty, economic security and the interests of its investors.
Taiwan said it remained in communication with Malaysia and hoped conditions could be created for negotiations to resume.
Malaysia Reassures Taiwanese Investors
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/57d665c726b32dff22e4742d0460fc9f996502c078e545bdda6572d201b947ca" />
The suspension has raised concerns about whether diplomatic tensions could affect Malaysia&rsquo;s semiconductor industry, which has attracted significant investment from Taiwanese companies.
Investment, Trade and Industry Minister Datuk Seri Johari Abdul Ghani said Malaysia valued its long-standing economic relationship with Taiwan and remained committed to providing a stable, business-friendly environment. He stressed that existing operations and investments had not been disrupted.
On 12 November, Anwar told Parliament there was no indication Taiwanese investors were withdrawing or withholding new investments. Malaysia remained open to investment in semiconductors, chips, AI and electrical and electronics.
He said Malaysia had requested the resumption of informal discussions through the Malaysia-Taiwan Economic Cooperation Committee.
The economic relationship remains substantial. Anwar said bilateral trade reached RM254.21 billion between January and September 2026, up 47.1 per cent year-on-year. Malaysian exports to Taiwan rose 88 per cent to RM116.58 billion, while imports increased 24.2 per cent to RM137.63 billion.
How The Nvidia Scandal Brings Malaysia Into The Spotlight
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/3ce526d34ab0c21c5a1f08b91f5e594d3c15907bb98feb50a80f4f1f6b062bf7" />
Separately, Malaysia has been drawn into scrutiny surrounding Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang and Megaspeed International, a Singapore-based cloud computing company that reportedly bought more than US$4.8 billion worth of Nvidia chips over two years.
Megaspeed has faced questions over whether advanced Nvidia processors were channelled to China in breach of US export restrictions. Its Malaysian subsidiary, Speedmatrix Sdn Bhd, has also come under attention after reports that it received more than 200 shipments of restricted technology between June 2024 and June 2025.
The controversy intensified after Huang admitted being unfaithful to his wife. Media reports identified the woman as Alice Huang, a former Megaspeed executive reportedly suspected by US authorities of having links to Chinese intelligence. They are not related.
The espionage allegations have not been independently verified by Reuters, and China has rejected them. Nvidia has launched an independent investigation into whether its chief executive was targeted by a foreign intelligence operation. The company&rsquo;s board has said it has no reason to believe US national security or its trade secrets were compromised.
A shareholder has also filed a proposed class-action lawsuit against Nvidia and Huang, alleging investors were misled about the relationship and its potential risks. The claims have not been proven.
MITI Says No Investigation Into Speedmatrix Yet
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/283628ccf1fb41832918fbf727a810289affd8c9e8bebb093c5e8d8044d4296d" />
Johari said Malaysia had not initiated an investigation into Speedmatrix because the ministry had not been presented with evidence that the company had breached Malaysian law.
He said credible evidence or a formal request from foreign authorities would be assessed under Malaysia&rsquo;s laws and procedures. However, he warned that the country would not allow itself to be used as a channel to circumvent export controls.
US export restrictions do not automatically become Malaysian law, but companies in global supply chains may still face scrutiny over restricted-chip movements.
What Could This Mean For Malaysia&rsquo;s Semiconductor Industry?
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/bd22f0b6baa1847a134aaf5d490f315dff4be437e7b68ccb9a1217c76dc5fe08" />
Taiwanese companies have invested heavily in Malaysia&rsquo;s electronics and semiconductor sectors, particularly in Penang. Existing operations are not expected to be immediately affected, but uncertainty could make investors more cautious about expansion.
Malaysia also competes with Vietnam and Thailand for high-value technology investments. Any loss of confidence could affect manufacturers and local suppliers.
There is currently no confirmation of Taiwanese investors withdrawing or Malaysian authorities finding wrongdoing by Speedmatrix. The developments nevertheless underline the importance of investor confidence and Malaysia&rsquo;s reputation as a trusted semiconductor hub.
