Doomsday? Cancel the leaks


The Marvel Cinematic Universe will change with the upcoming Avengers forever: Doomsday, a film that takes some of the biggest names of the franchise in an alternative, medieval universe.

With concept art, which reveals a Gothic, historical aesthetics and key figures in drastically different roles, this film could define the superhero genre as we know it.

The focus is on Doctor Doom

Taking the biggest from the unveiled details? Finally, Doctor Doom makes his big entrance as a real MCU power player. Not just any version of Doom, this film indicates God Emperor Doom, an almost omnipotent ruler who dominates an alternative universe in which he rules the top.

Concept Art suggests that the fate of Sue Storm as his queen and as a corrupt doctor Strange is accompanied as a right executor. This could mean that Doom has already conquered the multiverse or that he is in making it a greater threat than Thanos.

Alternative universes and time travel

It is clear that multiverse chaos will play a major role in this film. The concept art and licks indicate at least two important alternative settings:

  • A universe of the ERA era of the Second World War with Black Panther in an apparently stealth mission with high missions.
  • An area of ​​Hulk variants in which several versions of the green animal coexist, including a medieval-looking hulk with armor in gladiator style.

These settings indicate that time travel, alternative realities and multiverse battles are high in the heart of Avengers: Doomsday.

Who is in combat? The young Avengers take their step

One of the most fascinating aspects of the leaks is the secret collection of young avengers. This confirms that Marvel is finally willing to present the next generation of heroes, possibly characters like Kate Bishop (Hawkeye), America Chavez, Ironheart, Wiccan and Speed.

In view of the overwhelming power of Doctor Doom, it is likely that these younger heroes are planning a resistance to his rule. Could this be Marvel's way of building the future of the MCU dynasty after the Kang?

A mix of history and futurism

What Avengers does: Doomsday visually unique is the mixture of medieval topics with futuristic, dystopian elements. The Gothic, Grand Throne area of ​​Doom, the villages filled with Hulk and a futuristic battlefield torn by the war suggest a film that is different from everything we have previously seen in the MCU.

This darker, greater aesthetics is a courageous departure from previous Avengers films, which may bring a degree of gravitas that reflect classic epic fantasy films and rather traditional superheroes.

Robert Downey Jr. as Doom

It is official: Robert Downey Jr. returns to the MCU as Doctor Doom. Not as an alternative version of Tony Stark, not as a variant of Iron Man, but as an ultimate villain of the MCU.

This marks a massive change, as Marvel approaches one of his most legendary characters. Downey Jr., who enters the role of DOOM Victor, means that we get a doom with an incredible depth, charisma and undeniable presence.

It is clear from concept art that this is not an ordinary downfall. He is the ruler of a medieval kingdom, possibly a version of Battleworld, with Sue Storm as his queen and Doctor Strange as a executor. This raises important questions – how did Doom conquer this world? What happened to Reed Richards? And why does Doom keep absolute strength?

With the talent of Downey Jr. Doctor Doom will be a villain that was previously seen in the MCU – calculated, powerful and fully controlled.

What's next? Erect secret wars

In view of the connection from Doom to Marvel's Secret Wars Storyline, you can certainly say that Avengers: Doomsday lies the foundation for the next massive crossover event.

With Time Travel, multiversal battles and an almighty villain, this film could be the beginning of Marvel's biggest saga. If it is carried out well, it could even exceed the Infinity War/Endgame era on the mere scale and the operations.

The most ambitious McU film ever?

Marvel clearly goes with Avengers: Doomsday. A darker, medieval inspired environment, Doctor Doom as an ultimate villain and the introduction of young Avengers show that this is a game changer for the MCU.

With its great visuals, high narratives and multiverse chaos, Avengers: Doomsday has the potential to be the most ambitious, traditional and visually breathtaking MCU film to this day.

One thing is certain that the Marvel universe will never be the same.
