RUMOR: AVENGERS: DOOMSDAY Currently Shooting A Fight Scene Between Doctor Doom And [SPOILER]

According to a new report, Marvel Studios is currently filming a battle scene between Doctor Doom (Robert Downey Jr.) and a major X-Men character on the set of Avengers: Doomsday...

Cameras are now rolling on Avengers: Doomsday, and while we have yet to see any revealing set photos, a recent report claimed that scenes are being filmed at "an under-attack" X-Mansion.

Now, scooper MTTSH is reporting that a fight scene involving Doctor Doom (Robert Downey Jr.) facing off against Magneto (Sir Ian McKellen) is currently being shot.

These characters have crossed paths a number of times in the comics, and while a few harsh words have been spoken, they usually regard each other with a sense of mutual respect. Magneto is an incredibly powerful mutant, and one might assume his ability to control metal would give him an advantage over the fully armoured Doom. However, the Fantastic Four villain's mastery of various magical arts would likely make things very difficult for Mags.

Unfortunately, security has been very tight around the set, so we may not get to see any of the actors filming their scenes. We do have a new video from UnBoxHD, but it only features some drone footage of blue screens being set up.

Avengers: Doomsday arrives in theaters on May 1, 2026, followed by Avengers: Secret Wars on May 7, 2027. Both films 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

"Being able to create stories and explore characters within the Marvel Universe fulfilled a life-long dream of ours, and we discovered a powerful connection with audiences in each film that we made. We’re thrilled to collaborate once again with Kevin, Lou and the entire Marvel team to bring this epic adventure in storytelling to new and surprising places for both the fans and ourselves”, said The Russos in a statement after the SDCC panel.

Rumor:

To make Doomsday and Secret Wars successful in China, Feige and Marvel studios have finalized a deal that will rename these titles as Ne Zha 3* and Ne Zha 4*

@tRuckRogers46A - MTTSH could live on Mars and still make the common sense guesses they make daily and pass off as a "scoop".

Damn , thats a surreal sentence to read lol…

I really gotta say , I still have my reservations about RDJ as Doom (moreso in terms of the longevity of the character) but I’m getting more & more excited to see how he portrays his version of Victor Von Doom.

If done well , I truly think The Russo’s could make him an iconic movie villain like they did Thanos.

Should be easy work for Magneto but I’m looking forward to seeing how they make it an actual fight.

@newhire13 - me too

I’m sure Doom with his magic abilities could give him a run for his money

@newhire13 - My guess is that Doom will have somehow created some type of mystical barrier between his armour and the electromagnetic field that Magneto uses for his magnetism.

@newhire13 - You mean easy work for RDJs Doom. They ain't letting him get wrecked by Magneto lol.

@SonOfAGif - It doesnt even need to be a mystical barrier. Iron Man beat Magneto one on one in AvX because he created anti-magnetic armor. Magneto's powers didnt work on him. He was still able to fling metal objects at him, but he couldn't manipulate Iron Man's armor directly.

And if Iron Man can create that then so can Doom. No magic required.

I’m beginning to think this site needs renaming to ComicBookMovieSpoilers.com, the amount of posts particularly regarding Thunderbolts* spoilers is unbelievable.

At base level magneto beats doom but doom’s magick skills would overwhelm Eric’s ability to manipulate magnetism. Eric can manipulate the EM Spectrum at will too.

@CaptainAwkward - Iron Man beat Magneto one on one in AvX because he made anti-magnetic armor. If he can do that then so can Doom.
