New Avengers: Doomsday Promo Art Debuts Robert Downey Jr.’s Doctor Doom

The 2026 crossover from Joe and Anthony Russo will use the comics as loose inspiration.

Overview

  • Promotional artwork displayed at the Walt Disney Studios Marketing Expo in Shanghai shows Robert Downey Jr. in Doctor Doom’s armor, marking the first official look at his MCU design.
  • The image features distinct MCU elements on Doom’s suit, including gauntlets, chainmail, a stylized belt and magic‑inspired symbols.
  • Director Joe Russo says the filmmakers will draw loosely from both classic comics and Jonathan Hickman’s run rather than directly adapting a single storyline.
  • Avengers: Doomsday is positioned as a large‑scale ensemble bringing together characters from the Avengers, Fantastic Four and X‑Men, with returning MCU leads and new additions reported.
  • Trade outlets have floated potential legacy appearances such as Chris Evans, though his return remains unconfirmed following his recent public denial.
