Doom is coming to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and new promo art direct from Shanghai reveals a first look at Robert Downey Jr.'s full Doctor Doom costume from Avengers: Doomsday

The lower half of his body doesn't bring much in the way of new reveals, though we're very relieved that the Russo Brothers didn't decide to use the villain's goat-like feet from the Ultimate Universe! As for Doom's cloak, it's far more impressive than the version seen in The Fantastic Four: First Steps' post-credits scene, and seems befitting for the King of Latveria. 

This comic-accurate take on Doom is also better than what many fans feared might be used in the movie. Back in April, a birthday card made for Downey showed him in a green jumpsuit, purple cape, and a gold, Iron Man-inspired mask, suggesting the MCU's Victor Von Doom would be mashed up with Tony Stark to create a new Variant. 

It's possible that design was considered or that it was made simply to pay homage to Downey's two MCU roles. Either way, fans want to see the classic Doom on screen, and that appears to be exactly what they'll get with Avengers: Doomsday next December.

"Susan [Downey] and I were sitting down with [Kevin] Feige at one point and he said, 'It just keeps occurring to me that if you were to come back...' and Susan was like, 'Wait, wait, come back as what?'" Downey previously said of how his MCU return came to be. "Then we both realised over time that it was another thing that just disproves any doubt anyone could ever have about that guy."

"[He's a] very sophisticated creative thinker; how can we not go backwards, how can we not disappoint expectations, how we can continue to beat expectations? And he brought up Victor Von Doom," the Oscar-winner continued. "I looked up this character and I was like, 'Wow.' Later, Kevin goes, 'Let’s get Victor Von Doom right. Let's get that right.'"

It's clear from these and other remarks that Downey intends to play Doctor Doom, not Tony Stark by way of Victor. Off the back of Oppenheimer, the actor is likely looking for roles that challenge him, and a European dictator looking to rule what's left of the Multiverse surely fits the bill.

Take a closer look at Doctor Doom's Avengers: Doomsday look in the X posts below. 

Avengers: Doomsday stars Chris Hemsworth, Anthony Mackie, Winston Duke, Tom Hiddleston, Sebastian Stan, Letitia Wright, Paul Rudd, and Robert Downey Jr. Wyatt Russell, Simu Liu, Tenoch Huerta Mejia, Florence Pugh, Danny Ramirez, David Harbour, Hannah John-Kamen, and Lewis Pullman all make their Avengers franchise debuts in the movie. 

The Fantastic Four: First Steps leads Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, and Joseph Quinn join them, as do X-Men franchise stars Kelsey Grammer, Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen, Alan Cumming, Rebecca Romijn, James Marsden, and Deadpool & Wolverine star Channing Tatum.

Chris Evans, Hayley Atwell, and Ryan Reynolds are also set to appear, according to recent reports from the trades. 

The Russo Brothers direct the movie from a screenplay by Stephen McFeely, with whom they previously collaborated on the Avengers and Captain America franchises. Loki and Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness's Michael Waldron is also working on the script.

Avengers: Doomsday is set to be released on December 18, 2026, with Avengers: Secret Wars scheduled to arrive on December 17, 2027.

They nailed the look. Don’t know how the film will be but that looks ripped from the comics

@Bucky74 - Marvel has really nailed the looks of mostly all of it's villains with the exception of some. But their designs have been stellar.

@SonOfAGif - The new classic Spidey outfit is enough to make me run to the theatre opening night. Their costume designer is cooking!

@Bucky74 -
I feel they messed up the mask honestly. It has no weld marks or signs that it was built or constructed, it's too smooth.

@Scarilian - Hum, there may be some rivulets on the top. It’s hard to tell. It’s still pretty classic Doom though

What if it's not from the film?
Bucky74
Bucky74 - 9/12/2025, 11:09 AM
@0bstreperous - I’m pretty sure they’ve confirmed that’s promotional art for the film.

Look, Marvel is currently in no position to get the look of their main villain wrong. I think they knew that going in and nailed it. Granted, I would have liked the clamps to be gold to break up the crime but that is being really, really picky with an incredible design ripped straight from a comic cover

0bstreperous - 9/12/2025, 11:43 AM
@Bucky74 - I really hope the movie is good with c-list superheroes
Bucky74
Bucky74 - 9/12/2025, 11:54 AM
@0bstreperous - Right now Thor is the biggest name they have. The roster is filled with a bunch of C listers Marvel failed to make “Happen” and a few other decent to pretty good heroes. That’s said, I think they will make a second cast announcement soon

0bstreperous - 9/12/2025, 12:12 PM
@Bucky74 - the Russos are great but can they make the audience care I wonder

@Bucky74 - I thought the gray man was fine but yeah I've heard nothing but bad reviews from their films outside of marvel

Maybe it's why they came back

MisterDoctor217 - 9/12/2025, 1:17 PM
@Bucky74 -

What do you mean full of C -list heroes ??


They have the freaking X -Men on there

Cyclops, Professor X, Magneto ??

Those are definitely not C-List
That team as a whole is A List and individually I’d argue B list
BigPhilbowski
BigPhilbowski - 9/12/2025, 1:54 PM
@Bucky74 - phase 1 was also full of c list characters who hadn't been relevant in decades.
Shivermetimbers
Shivermetimbers - 9/12/2025, 2:06 PM
@BigPhilbowski - Such a false narrative. Phase 1 are some of Marvels most popular and recognizable characters outside of the characters they did not have the legal film rights to. But sure, Iron Man, Thor, Captain America, and the Hulk were C list, right...
BigPhilbowski
BigPhilbowski - 9/12/2025, 2:09 PM
@Shivermetimbers - absolute nonsense. At the time, Cap, Iron man, Thor etc were at their lowest points in terms of sales and popularity. There's a reason why when marvel sold off spiderman, Xmen, hulk, etc. No studio wanted them. They're some of the most popular now because of the MCU. At the time you couldn't give away their comics
Bucky74
Bucky74 - 9/12/2025, 2:40 PM
@MisterDoctor217 - They are holdovers from Sony. Yes, I want to see them too, but She-Hulk? Shang Chi (who I really like), and Makie/Cap are not top tier Marvel like Spidey, Wolverine, and OG Black Panther, and Iron Man. They have packed the cast with C listers.
Bucky74
Bucky74 - 9/12/2025, 2:42 PM
@BigPhilbowski - I’d argue that they were never C listers to comic fans. We all counted Iran Man, Black Widow, and Thor among the big guns.
BigPhilbowski
BigPhilbowski - 9/12/2025, 2:45 PM
@Bucky74 - they were though. That's why comic fans stopped buying them and their sales tanked
Bucky74
Bucky74 - 9/12/2025, 2:53 PM
@BigPhilbowski - There are a handful of heroes I care about in this. I want the heave hitters like Steve (he’s probably in it though), Spidey, Wolverine, maybe Luke Cage, Daredevil, and Ghost Rider too. Punisher would be cool. I really enjoyed FF but after only one film, they haven’t earned A list status again yet (yes, I know, Marvel’s Fist family). I hope there is a second cast announcement. At least they killed it on Doom’s look
Shivermetimbers
Shivermetimbers - 9/13/2025, 10:52 AM
@BigPhilbowski - sales being down compared at the time does not make them a C lister. I agree that they were not at the peaks of their popularity but c list is someone like Luke Cage, or an even less well known character. In 2006, civil war was the best selling comic in the world. And guess who the main characters were? In 2007, Captain America had the number one selling comic issue that year. Iron Man 1 didn’t came out the next year in 2008 and everyone knew who he was, it was just a shock that the movies were so successful because outside of Superman/batman/ Spider-Man comic movies hasn’t been very good. The narrative that phase one characters weren’t popular at the time is bogus. Maybe they weren’t popular in the movies (yet, because they hadn’t had any good ones made yet), but as far as comic characters go, there were still some of the biggest.

@Shivermetimbers - ah yes, North American sales numbers. Shocker, Captain America was still popular in America. Now do the world numbers. And what were his numbers like for the previous 2 decades before that one good run that brought some readers back. The characters were dead in the water before the mcu.
Shivermetimbers
Shivermetimbers - 9/13/2025, 6:38 PM
@BigPhilbowski - ok keep moving the goalpost. Whatever, you can have your opinion.
BigPhilbowski
BigPhilbowski - 9/13/2025, 6:45 PM
@Shivermetimbers - it's not an opinion. It's a fact. Marvel sold off all the popular characters and were left with c listers that no one wanted to touch. There's a reason why Iron man was considered such a risk when they greenlit the movie

@MadThanos - Doom is actually smarter than Richards but his ego and arrogance is what always makes him lose in the end. I hope Doomsday plays into that

@Irregular - hey, Doom, you're just a toy...
MadThanos

@JackDeth - true…

However given the BND one we had gotten was similar if not identical to the suit we are getting in the film then I could see it being a similar case with Doom aswell
TheVisionary25
TheVisionary25 - 9/12/2025, 11:24 AM
Looks good!!.

I’m honestly kinda surprised they went with the skirt look if this is indeed from the film rather than pants or something but I’m glad they did.

Also is it me or does this Doom have short legs?.

I know RDJ is like 5 foot 8 or 9 inches but I feel the armor would produce a bit more lift atleast but we’ll see.
