There are comic plotlines where Dr. Doom is a variant of Iron Man. It’s not necessarily driven by some sort of desperation.
Yes, that would be one heck of a twist... if they hadn't revealed Dr. Doom's identity at Comic-Con. And we don't even know what the movie will be called, I might add. I think that if Disney was confident in whatever movie it is they're making, they would have kept RDJ's involvement on the down-low, to surprise the audience. Instead, they made this big hullabaloo about RDJ coming back.
Far as I can tell, the casting can be explained in one of two ways:
Disney famously broke the contract with Robin Williams to advertise him in Alladin. I don't think Disney would ever keep a big stars involvement 'on the down-low', regardless of how confidant they are about a movies success.
They kept surprisingly quiet on several Deadpool/Wolverine characters. I'm not going to spoil anything for those who haven't seen it, but I was very surprised by several appearances.
It's still annoying that they spoiled the reveal of Spider Man in the trailers for Civil War. I try to always avoid trailers but there was no way to not know Spiderman made it into the MCU before seeing it in theatres.
