The spotlight was on Doctor Doom and Thanos in a thrilling advertisement for Marvel Studios’ upcoming film Avengers: Doomsday. This movie, set to premiere in 2026, is anticipated to significantly alter the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) as we know it, with Robert Downey stepping into the role of one of Marvel’s most legendary villains yet – Victor Von Doom. The specifics of the film’s storyline remain confidential, but fans may catch a hint of what’s to come on the big screen.

Marvel Studios staged an official “Avengers: Doomsday” spectacular at a Walt Disney Studios Marketing Event in Shanghai, China. The light show predominantly highlighted Doctor Doom, whose arrival is set to potentially threaten the existence of the entire multiverse in Marvel Studios’ upcoming Avengers film. Given his status as one of Marvel’s most potent villains, it’s fitting that they chose to revisit some of his iconic comic-book moments.

Approximately a minute and fifteen seconds into the spectacle, I, as an ardent fan, catch a swift glimpse of Doom, beaming with victory, brandishing a skeleton in his grasp, all while donning his authentic, comic book-styled ensemble.

In issue #8 of Marvel Comics’ Secret Wars series from 2015 (written by Jonathan Hickman with art by Alex Ross), comic enthusiasts will recall an image where Thanos faces off against Doom for dominance. However, it’s the unexpected moment when Doom shoves his hand through Thanos’ torso that truly stands out. Seizing Thanos by the spine, Doom dramatically pulls his skeleton out of his body, demonstrating ruthless strength without an ounce of pity.

Although this doesn’t definitely reveal the plot of Doomsday, fans are eagerly anticipating that Marvel may incorporate this comic moment early in the film. Marvel Studios has a history of adapting scenes directly from the comics, and given that Doom is predicted to be the MCU’s next significant villain, it seems fitting for him to assert his power over the Infinity Saga’s main antagonist at some point.

In the sixth phase of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the upcoming team-up movie titled “Avengers: Doomsday” marks the 39th film in the franchise. A total of 27 stars from Marvel Studios and legacy actors have been confirmed to star in this epic production. The storyline finds Robert Downey Jr.’s character, Doctor Doom, threatening to destroy the multiverse. “Avengers: Doomsday” is now under production and is set to hit theaters on December 18, 2026.

Will Doom Take Out Thanos in Avengers: Doomsday?

In the upcoming movie “Doomsday,” although Marvel might tone down the graphic violence seen in the comics where Doom rips Thanos’ skeleton out, many fans anticipate this scene could serve as a significant milestone. Unlike some other formidable villains in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Doom is expected to exhibit immense power when he officially enters the storyline for the first time.

In the context of “Doomsday,” given that Thanos has been confirmed deceased since the end of “Avengers: Endgame,” it’s not likely we’ll see much of him. However, it seems plausible that he might be reintroduced through a multiversal version of himself, only to be swiftly eliminated, thereby emphasizing Doom’s immense power.

It appears that rumors suggest that the first trailer for “Doomsday” might not be unveiled by Marvel until San Diego Comic-Con in 2026. This means fans will need to exercise patience and wait a significant amount of time before getting a glimpse of footage from the upcoming Marvel Cinematic Universe blockbuster.

Despite the secrecy surrounding whether this potential Doom/Thanos moment will appear in the upcoming movie or not, if it does occur, it’s anticipated to serve as a pivotal shift in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, with Doom emerging as a formidable new adversary.
