Marvel Studios’ highly anticipated Avengers: Doomsday movie has received a new interesting update regarding one of its leading characters. The fifth installment is scheduled to make its debut in theaters on December 18, 2026, followed by Avengers: Secret Wars on December 17, 2027.
What is the new Avengers: Doomsday rumor?
According to insider Daniel Richtman, Avengers: Doomsday will reportedly feature Robert Downey Jr.‘s Victor von Doom/Doctor Doom going after “people who caused the incursions.” This rumor is seemingly in line with the recent report about Doctor Doom’s potentially using young Franklin Richards to stop the incursions from further endangering the Multiverse.
This comes after fans caught a first glimpse at the fan-favorite Marvel villain at the end of The Fantastic Four: First Steps. In a previous interview, Sue Storm/Invisible Woman actress Vanessa Kirby confirmed that it was Downey who appeared during the movie’s mid-credits scene, revealing that the Oscar-winning actor actually played a key part behind-the-scenes as he guided them throughout filming.
