If Robert Downey Jr.'s Doom becomes God Emperor Doom in Avengers: Doomsday, what it means for the MCU is cameos. Lots and lots of cameos.

How Doom became God Emperor of Battleworld

At first, Battleworld was a complete nightmare. It was an eternal night, in a constant state of war, because all of the different realities were combining. But Doom, being who Doom is, divided and conquered, making himself god: Emperor Doom of Battleworld.

Why the Avengers: Doomsday cast points to cameos

Five hours of chair reveals made clear this is one of the biggest movie casts in years, with characters we haven't seen in a while. Some might think that spoils Thunderbolts* and The Fantastic Four, but nobody guaranteed these are the same versions of those characters.
