No it doesn't sound like a joke. It sounds like a perfect response to the situation they're in.
His last Avengers was their last predictable hit. Things haven't been going so well since he left.
Majors is out. You could recast the big bad, or change to a different big bad. Since "He Who Remains" wasn't going over that well anyway, it makes sense to shift to a new one. Maybe one of the best they have available, Dr. Doom.
So by combining the best villain with the best star, you have the best bet for banking billions.
Makes perfect sense.
