Robert Downey Jr. as Doctor Doom in Avengers: Doomsday

The Iron Man star is back in the MCU, but this time as the big bad supervillain Victor von Doom, promising a massive threat across the multiverse. The footage kicks off with Xavier's school in ruins. Professor Charles Xavier spotting a huge fire, then cuts to Doom's profile under his green cloak. We get a clear shot of that iconic metal mask when Thor swings his Stormbreaker axe, and Doom just stops it cold with one hand. This builds on teases from the Fantastic Four first steps, like the empty United Nations seat for Latberrya, his homeland. Earlier theater previews before Avatar Fire and Ash, Brockback faces like Chris Evans as Captain America, Patrick Stewart's Xavier, Ian McKellan's, Magneto, and more X-Men vets. The cast is stacked with Fantastic Four stars, Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, and Joseph Quinn, plus Thunderbolts Crew, like Florence Pew and Sebastian, Stan.
