Doomsday’ Finally Unleashes Robert Downey Jr.’s Doctor Doom in Explosive Trailer

Published

on

The biggest movie of 2026, and perhaps this side of the pandemic, is just a few months away now, and the first proper look at it is here. Marvel Studios has released the first trailer for Avengers: Doomsday, bringing the MCU’s biggest heroes back together for the first time since Avengers: Endgame. And finally, we see the man himself because Tony Stark is gone. Doctor Doom has arrived.

We’ve waited long enough to see Earth’s Mightiest Heroes return and the trailer makes sure we see plenty of them, but obviously we’re here for Doom. And this doesn’t look like an upbeat version of what we’ve seen before, this is the Avengers in trouble and splintered. And we see more of the X-Men, the Fantastic Four, the Thunderbolts and, of course, our beloved Steve Rogers.

For those looking to do their homework ahead of time — and you might need the months ahead for this — the most relevant titles likely include Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, Thor: Love and Thunder, Captain America: Brave New World, Thunderbolts, Deadpool & Wolverine, and The Fantastic Four: First Steps. On the Disney+ side, Loki Seasons 1 and 2 are perhaps the most pivotal because they’ll explain exactly how these multiverses are crashing into each other.

Queens, New York

🕷️ Spider-Man

You carry the weight of the world on shoulders that are younger than they should have to be — funny, loyal, and endlessly self-sacrificing.

  • You do the right thing not because it’s easy, but because no one else will.
  • You understand that responsibility isn’t a burden you choose — it’s one that finds you.
  • Whether it’s a neighbourhood mugging or a multiverse crisis, you show up.
  • Peter Parker’s lesson — that great power demands great responsibility — isn’t a slogan to you. It’s the code you live by, even when it costs you everything.


Hell’s Kitchen, New York

😈 Daredevil

You fight in the shadows between law and chaos, guided by a fierce moral compass that refuses to let the guilty walk free.

  • You use every tool available — your mind, your body, your faith — to protect those the system overlooks.
  • You’ve looked into the darkness and chosen not to become it, though the line has never been easy.
  • Matt Murdock’s duality — champion in the courtroom, devil in the alley — mirrors your own.
  • Relentless, conflicted, and unwilling to stop. That is exactly you.


Stark Industries, Malibu

🤖 Iron Man

Brilliant, driven, and occasionally insufferable — but always the person who solves the unsolvable problem.

  • You lead with your mind and back it up with resources, innovation, and a stubbornness that borders on heroic.
  • You started out looking out for yourself, but somewhere along the way the world became your responsibility.
  • Tony Stark’s arc — from ego to sacrifice — is your arc too.
  • You build, you plan, and when the moment comes, you’re willing to give everything. Because in the end, you’re Iron Man.


New York City

💀 The Punisher

You’ve been through fire that would break most people — and it did change you, completely. What’s left is unyielding, relentless, and operating by a code forged in grief.

  • You don’t ask for forgiveness, and you don’t expect gratitude.
  • You see a corrupt, broken world and you’ve decided to do something about it, consequences be damned.
  • Frank Castle’s war is born from love twisted by loss — and so is yours.
  • Uncompromising and unflinching — the world may not agree with your methods, but your conviction is absolute.


Asgard · Protector of the Nine Realms

⚡ Thor

Powerful, proud, and on a lifelong journey to become worthy of the legend you carry.

  • You lead with strength but have learned — sometimes painfully — that true greatness comes from humility and growth.
  • You’re larger than life, yet more vulnerable than you let on.
  • Thor’s story is one of transformation: from arrogant prince to worthy king, from isolated warrior to beloved protector.
  • You bring the storm when it’s needed — and the warmth when it matters just as much.


Brooklyn, New York · The Avengers

🛡️ Captain America

You believe in something bigger than yourself — and you fight for it even when the world has moved on and nobody else will.

  • You don’t bully the small guy, and you never stop when it gets hard.
  • Steve Rogers didn’t become a hero when he got the serum — he was always one. So were you.
  • Your strength isn’t in your fists; it’s in your refusal to compromise what’s right, no matter the cost.
  • In a world full of people taking the easy road, you’re the one who picks up the shield and stands up — every single time.
