At D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event, Marvel unveiled a new look at the highly anticipated cinematic event of the year. The promo finally puts Doctor Doom in the spotlight, positioning Downey Jr.’s character as a formidable new supervillain in the MCU.
Watch it here:
The promo features Sue Storm (Vanessa Kirby) setting the stage for Doctor Doom’s villainous arc while also teasing a massive confrontation between the new MCU villain and Thor.
The two-minute-and-ten-second teaser focuses heavily on Robert Downey Jr.’s Victor Von Doom, offering a glimpse into his immense multiversal power, tragic backstory, and formidable army of Sentinels.
The footage opens with Doctor Doom seated on a massive throne. A voiceover from Sue Storm (Vanessa Kirby) explains his tragic transformation, revealing that he “used to be kind” until everything he loved was taken from him, leaving him completely “broken.” Sue is also seen warning a massive group of heroes from across the multiverse.
The teaser features brief appearances from Steve Rogers (Chris Evans), Thor (Chris Hemsworth), Shang-Chi (Simu Liu), Shuri (Letitia Wright), and Gambit (Channing Tatum). Further expanding the multiversal crossover, several Fox-era mutants also make an appearance, including Magneto, Cyclops, and Professor X.
One of the standout moments sees a furious Thor wielding Stormbreaker against Doom and vowing, “I swear you will beg for hell long before I grant it.” Doom effortlessly blocks the attack before blasting Thor away with green energy, highlighting the immense power of the new antagonist.
Avengers: Doomsday is set to become the 39th film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Directed by Anthony and Joe Russo, the film is written by Michael Waldron and Stephen McFeely.
