As supposed images from Avengers: Doomsday continue to leak online, these latest AI-enhanced stills find Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) at the mercy of Doctor Doom (Robert Downey Jr.).
Several scoopers have reported that the former Captain America winds up being captured by the ruthless villain in the third act, which is when Doom is said to commit one of the most shocking acts we've seen in the MCU (we won't spoil it outright here).
The first image also features the mysterious Latverian Witches.
We've been hearing that Doom would likely be accompanied by female "variants" for a while now, but we're still not sure who is beneath the masks. Fans are hoping that the character shown here will turn out to be the Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen), but there are plenty of other possibilities.
If a recent plot leak is to be believed, one of these Witches will actually turn out to be a shape-shifter who takes the form of Peggy Carter (Hayley Atwell) in an attempt to fool Steve Rogers (Chris Evans). Other theories point to Clea (Charlize Theron) and Sylvie Laufeydottir (Sophia Di Martino).
Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars were hit with significant delays last year, with Doomsday now set to arrive in theaters on December 18, 2026, and Secret Wars positioned for December 17, 2027.
Both movies will be directed by the Russo brothers, who also make their MCU return after helming Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Captain America: Civil War, Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame.
