The first look of Robert Downey Jr as Marvel’s newest supervillain, Doctor Doom, has been leaked online. A new photo from the sets of Avengers: Doomsday has revealed what appears to be Downey Jr in full costume as the infamous Doom. The photo, which is quickly making the rounds online, shows a figure clad in metallic armour with a dark green hood and matching cape — instantly recognisable to comic book readers as the classic look of Victor Von Doom.This is the first picture of the actor in character for the highly anticipated film. The costume itself has fans buzzing. With its intricate armor, cloak, and faithful design, many are calling it the most comic book-accurate adaptation of the supervillain seen on screen to date. Unlike previous interpretations that saw doom in a suit, this practical armour has fans waiting to see the final output on the big screen. Social media reactions have been overwhelmingly positive. One fan wrote, “An actual suit instead of mocap is badass. I’m sure they’ll use CGI at some point but kudos for this.” Others echoed the sentiment, praising Marvel for leaning into a tangible, physical design rather than relying entirely on post-production effects.Avengers: Doomsday is expected to usher in a new era of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, with Doctor Doom reportedly being positioned as the next major overarching antagonist following Thanos. RDJ playing the villain after his decade-long run as the superhero Iron Man have fans increasingly sceptical about the plot of the film that will end the multiverse saga. The film will also see the return of several familiar faces, including Chirs Hemsworth as Thor, Tom Hiddleston as Loki, Vanessa Kirby as Sue Strom, Anthony Mackie as Captain America, Sebastian Stan as Bucky, Paul Rudd as Antman, Ebon Moss-Bachrach as Thing, Simu Liu as Shang Chi, Florence Pugh as Yelena, Lewis Pullman as Sentry, Danny Ramirez as Falcon, Joseph Quinn as Johnny Storm, David Harbour as the Red Guardian, Patrick Stewart as Charles Xavier, Ian McKellen as Magneto, Pedro Pascal as Mr Fantastic and many others. In the film, the Avengers, Wakandans, Fantastic Four, New Avengers, and the X-Men reportedly team up to fight against a new threat – Doctor Doom.According to reports, several superheroes will reportedly meet their end at the hands of Doom. Hemsworth’s Thor is also rumoured to meet his end in the film, after the actor posted an emotional farewell post on playing the character for 15 years. With leaks like this stirring excitement, the wait for the film’s December 2026 release now seems longer.
