UPDATE: As you can see below, Disney has started removing\u00a0the images, confirming that they are, in fact, real. With that, a several-months-long mystery has been solved.<\/p>\n
Last year, the launch of several AI platforms coincided with an apparent leak of Avengers: Doomsday costume images. Suddenly, what looked like real photos were competing for attention with convincing fakes depicting everyone from Captain Marvel to Wolverine and Spider-Man.<\/p>\n
Those original leaks\u2014which were the basis for several online scoopers sharing costume descriptions\u2014largely vanished after getting lost in the shuffle of so many fakes. However,\u00a0they’ve now resurfaced on X.<\/p>\n
As a reminder, these originally showed up before the four teasers that played in theaters, the various pieces of promo art featuring Robert Downey Jr.’s Doctor Doom, and costume department artwork first\u00a0spotted at an event in London’s Pinewood Studios.\u00a0<\/p>\n
With the benefit of hindsight, it seems these photos are the real deal. Can we guarantee that? No, but there are details here that match what we saw in the trailers and what we’ve heard from the full sneak peek screened at CinemaCon earlier this month. Based on when these were originally posted, there are one too many accurate details for that to be a coincidence.\u00a0<\/p>\n
One of the biggest giveaways is Doctor Doom’s belt buckle. At the time, we’d seen promo art that matched these photos, aside from the belt buckle. For some, that was enough to write the leaks off as fake, but as the updated\u00a0artwork shown at CinemaCon now matches what we see here, these images being real is highly likely.\u00a0<\/p>\n
At least a couple of people who were at CinemaCon have said Steve Rogers’ costume matches what was in the trailer, and with a new look at Avengers: Doomsday supposedly somewhere on the horizon, we’ll find out one way or another soon enough.<\/p>\n
Recently, filmmaker Joe Russo said Avengers: Endgame’s upcoming re-release will include\u00a0“footage that is set in the Doomsday story that we have added to Avengers: Endgame.”<\/p>\n
“It\u2019s an opportunity to create a bridge from Endgame to Doomsday in a very unique way, and because the movie was so successful, we have an opportunity to re-release it,”\u00a0he continued, calling it\u00a0a\u00a0“critical companion story”\u00a0and a\u00a0“setup for what you\u2019re gonna watch in December when you see Avengers: Doomsday.”<\/p>\n
