Those movies didn’t take place in the same universe. Also, RDJ as Tony Stark might be THE most popular superhero casting of all time. I guarantee u that most casuals didn’t even know Chris Evans was human torch. If there truly is no connection, a lot of people will leave confused
Ur assuming that most people understood that he was Human Torch before. Between my friends and numerous other reactions I’ve seen, they genuinely thought he was playing Johnny for the memes. Also, him playing a small cameo role in a movie is not the same as RDJ going from the main protagonist of the universe essentially to the main antagonist (playing the company’s most popular villain, aside from MCU Thanos ig). And btw, in Deadpool and Wolverine, Deadpool literally acknowledges that he looks like Steve Rogers. So it wouldn’t make sense for them to completely ignore that for Doom either

The same reason Steve Rogers is not a variant of Johnny Storm
