Avengers: Doomsday ‘Leaks’ Called Out as AI as Viral Images Face Scrutiny

Trades indicate a teaser could be attached to Avatar: Fire and Ash next month.

Overview

  • The widely shared “first look” at Robert Downey Jr. as Doctor Doom was identified as AI by the original poster, with artist BossLogic pointing out inaccuracies in the mask and hood.
  • A glossy X‑Men group image spreading as a set photo has been rejected as AI by outlets and insiders, with giveaways including a fake Instagram handle for Patrick Stewart and an Agora watermark.
  • Additional bogus shots feature slips such as an incorrect iPhone design and mismatched anatomy, highlighting how convincing current generative tools can be.
  • Fans note that Google’s SynthID can flag many of these pictures as AI‑created, providing a quick verification step.
  • Avengers: Doomsday has wrapped principal photography and is slated for December 18, 2026, bringing together Avengers, the new Fantastic Four, and returning Fox‑era X‑Men, with Robert Downey Jr. reported to play Doctor Doom.
