Doctor Doom is one of the most popular villains ever in the Marvel universe. But, what are fans thinking about the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday, now that Marvel’s announced the title, RDJ’s casting as Doctor Doom, and the actors portraying popular heroes.
Fans are focusing on leaks, theories, and more. Some fans are worried if the movie will flop based on their previous low rating films and series, but many fans are excited after the movie “Thunderbolts*” was a big critical success for Marvel.
Much of this popularity is among young people, who are excited about the movie. However, that doesn’t mean Marvel fans don’t have concerns about it.
“I think that the amount of characters they’re putting into this movie is kind of a lot,” said junior Max Melton. “I think that unless we’re making this movie like four and a half or five hours long — which isn’t a movie at that point — it’s just like a miniseries put into one thing. But you cannot put that many characters into one film and make them all do something meaningful. So at this point, it sounds like we’re just putting characters into the movie for the sake of revenue.”
Many fans online have attempted to leak the movie’s props, scenes, and sets. They’ve generated numerous theories about the movie. Actors have told fans that this is going to be a bigger movie than ever before. Another major update from this film is from an official light show at Disney Shanghai. The show started with Doom, revealing his costume and throne. It also hints at the Marvel hero teams that are in the movie (The Avengers, “Thunderbolts*”, Fantastic Four, and X-Men).
The Russo Brothers, who are directing the Doom movie and also directed Avengers movies Infinity War and Endgame as well as the last two Captain America movies, revealed that this will be mixed with science and magic, and major plot saying that doctor doom will more like a hero than a supervillain he usually is, proving that the plot will be bigger than any previous marvel movies.
Many Actors have been giving out small interviews about the movie, including Channing Tatum, who plays Gambit.
“I’m not gonna go full Cajun. The Russo Brothers want things to be funny, but they don’t want to go full “Deadpool,” he said. “They want to keep the drama and keep it tight. When Gambit gets serious… things do matter.”
Another update related to the characters: a trending rumor that’s been circulating in the community, with fans speculating that some famous characters will die.
“Playing Thor has been one of the greatest honours of my life,” Hemsworth said in a YouTube video. “For the last 15 years, I’ve held Mjolnir and then Stormbreaker as the God of Thunder, but what is truly special… was sharing it with all of you. Your passion, your cheers, and your love for this character have meant everything to me. Thank you for making my journey through the Marvel Cinematic Universe an unforgettable experience. Next up, Doomsday!”
After the video trended, fans made theories that Thor could be killed by Doom.
Fans also have been making content such as fan art, 3D animation, Photoshop images, theory videos, fan scripts, and fake trailers. One thing the fans are disappointed about is the actors that did not make it to the roster, such as as Spider-Man, Captain America, Daredevil, Punisher, Hulk, Ghost Rider, and many more.“It’s just it’s gonna be a phenomenon that I don’t think has been seen since Endgame. I’m really excited for it.”
Fans have been wanting a lot of from the movie, such as Spider-Man’s symbiote suit, Captain America’s return, Mr. Fantastic and Doctor Doom fighting, and more big heroes. Now the real question is Who will win? What will happen in the next Avengers movie? How will the heroes defeat this massive threat? What heroes will die? All these questions will be answered when Doomsday releases on Dec. 18, 2026.
