Avengers: Doomsday Will Abandon Doctor Doom’s Iconic Green for New Costumes (Report)

by

Recent reports indicate that the new Avengers: Doomsday movie will feature a Doctor Doom with a costume that isn’t his traditional green. Robert Downey Jr. is returning to the Avengers franchise to play a unique version of the classic villain, Victor Von Doom. Interestingly, it seems Downey Jr.’s Doom won’t be acting alone – reports suggest a group of villains will be supporting his efforts to control the multiverse.

Okay, so details are still super hush-hush, but apparently we might see some different versions of Doom in the movie. And get this – a reliable source, John Rocha on The Hot Mic podcast, says at least a few of these alternate Dooms won’t even be wearing the classic green suit! I’m a little shocked, honestly – that green suit is so iconic. It’ll be interesting to see how they handle that if it’s true.

According to Rocha, there will be two female versions of Doctor Doom. One will wear a purple cloak with a golden mask, while the other will have a gold cloak and mask.

Okay, so let’s talk Doctor Doom variations. It’s fascinating – there aren’t just one Doom, but multiple! I’ve spotted at least two distinctly female versions. One rocks a classic purple cloak with a gold mask, while the other flips the script with gold cloak and mask. And it’s not just the ladies; there are plenty of male Dooms running around too, adding to the multiverse of menace.

Okay, so this is interesting. We all know Doom – the green cloak, the silver mask, it’s iconic. And every little hint we’ve gotten about him showing up in this movie has stuck to that classic look. But it sounds like the filmmakers might be playing with that, suggesting we could see multiple versions of Doom, each with a different costume. That’s a big shift, and honestly, a pretty exciting one! It opens up a lot of possibilities for how they’re going to portray him, especially if they’re leaning into the multiverse concept.

With the movie jumping between different realities, it’s becoming increasingly probable that we’ll see several versions of Doom in the 2026 Marvel Cinematic Universe film. This is largely because the character Doom was initially planned to be a central figure in The Kang Dynasty, a movie that was expected to showcase many different versions of Kang himself.

Although Robert Downey Jr. is playing Doctor Doom, he might be just one part of a larger group of villains who will serve as the movie’s main enemies.

The upcoming movie, Avengers: Doomsday, will feature heroes from multiple universes uniting to fight Doctor Doom. It will include familiar faces from the Marvel Cinematic Universe like Thor and Captain America, as well as classic X-Men characters previously seen in Fox’s X-Men films.

The team behind Avengers: Endgame is returning to the Marvel Cinematic Universe for Avengers: Doomsday, marking their first project since concluding the Infinity Saga. Michael Waldron and Stephen McFeely have written the script. Avengers: Doomsday is scheduled to be released in theaters on December 18, 2026.

Why Will Doctor Doom Look Different in Avengers: Doomsday? 

The news of Doctor Doom potentially sporting a purple and gold color scheme, instead of his usual green and silver, is likely to surprise and possibly upset many longtime Marvel Comics readers.

Most characters have been visually updated over time, but Doom has kept his original powerful appearance since he first appeared in 1962.

While there have been occasional small changes and some memorable outfits for specific comic book stories – like the famous Reed Richards and Doom 2099 suits – his overall look has remained largely consistent.

Giving the character a wider range of colors could really help him stand out in Avengers: Doomday, especially if the rumors are true. Apparently, the movie will include multiple versions of Doctor Doom, so it’s important that Doomday visually distinguishes between them.

Doom always hides his face with a mask and hood, so it’s important to make each version of him visually distinct for viewers. The simplest way to do this is by giving each ‘Variant’ a different and unique costume.
