New Avengers: Doomsday promo art has been revealed, featuring another look at Robert Downey Jr.'s Doctor Doom. Victor Von Doom appears suitably terrifying here, and what exactly the former Iron Man will do with this role remains hugely intriguing.
We also have some slightly more cartoonish artwork, once again featuring Doom and an assortment of characters from across the Multiverse: Cyclops, The Thing, Sam Wilson/Captain America, Thor, and Yelena Belova.
Finally, there's a brilliant piece with the logos for the Avengers, Fantastic Four, and X-Men all colliding (if that isn't used somewhere on an official poster, Marvel Studios is missing a trick).
As well as teasing a clash between the teams, it's hinting at the fact that Earth-616, Earth-828, and Earth-10005 will all collide in a three-way Incursion this December. If Avengers: Doomsday follows the comics, the result of the Multiverse's Final Incursion will be Doom's Battleworld.
While the movie's plot is a closely guarded secret, leaks like these are unlikely to bother the Russo Brothers too much. During a recent interview, Joe said, "On one hand, audiences want to be surprised, and that’s part of what makes the theatrical experience exciting. On the other hand, [spoilers] can become a little over-policed, where people are anxious about engaging with anything."
"We design these films to unfold in a certain way, and we want audiences to feel those moments as intended," the filmmaker added. "But at the same time, you can’t control everything. You have to focus on making something that holds up beyond the initial surprise."
