Rumored Details on Some of the Doctor Doom Variants We Might See in AVENGERS: DOOMSDAY
Marvel Studios’ Avengers: Doomsday is shaping up to be one of the most ambitious films in the MCU’s next phase, and a new rumor just made things even more interesting. The movie will reportedly introduce multiple versions of Doctor Doom, including some that could completely redefine the character on screen.
According to well-known scooper Daniel Richtman, Avengers: Doomsday will feature “multiple variants” of Robert Downey Jr.’s Doctor Doom, and one of them will be female.
Then, during an episode of The Hot Mic podcast, John Rocha backed up Richtman’s claims and added some vivid new details:
"This person says to me—and this person is pretty reliable—you can mention there are at least two female Doctor Dooms, one with a purple cloak and golden mask, and the other with a gold cloak and a mask, and there are other Dooms too, male ones. [...] So, there are gonna be multiple people playing Doctor Doom variants in the film."
Rocha even speculated that some of the already-announced cast members could be playing alternate versions of Victor Von Doom himself:
"And there are other Doctor Dooms that we're going to see. So maybe some of the other characters that have been cast as different characters are going to be playing different Doctor Dooms from different universes."
If true, the concept feels similar to what Marvel did with Kang and his countless variants across time and space.
Every Avengers film has featured the team going up against some kind of massive force. If Doomsday follows that same tradition, it’s possible that instead of faceless robots or aliens, Earth’s Mightiest Heroes could find themselves battling an army of Dooms. Imagine the scale of that with each one wielding Victor’s intellect and power in a different form.
In the comics, Doom often sends Doombots into battle. For years, fans assumed they’d fill that role in the MCU. But with this new rumor, the “army” could be far more dangerous than robots ever were.
If the Avengers are truly facing multiple Doom variants, it might be the most challenging fight they’ve ever had.
Avengers: Doomsday is set to hit theaters on December 18, 2026, followed by Avengers: Secret Wars on December 17, 2027.
