There had been rumours that Marvel Studios might release a new Avengers: Doomsday teaser trailer during the Super Bowl that would finally pull back the curtain on Robert Downey Jr.’s Doctor Doom.<\/p>\n
He was absent from the four teasers we got in December and January, a surprise when the former Iron Man is one of the movie’s biggest selling points. Doom has been featured in promo art and on the front of a t-shirt, and now, he’s front and centre on a keyring.<\/p>\n
It’s not necessarily our best look at Victor Von Doom, but the villain looks comic-accurate here and suitably frightening (past leaks have compared this interpretation of the villain to a Universal Movie Monster).\u00a0<\/p>\n
Doom’s mask looks different every\u00a0time we see it, though we have reason to believe he will have multiple looks in Avengers: Doomsday. That appearance is likely to evolve as we head into Avengers: Secret Wars, and he becomes God Emperor Doom.<\/p>\n
We’ve known for a while that Downey is heavily involved in creating a backstory for Doom. Promoting Netflix’s The Electric State last year,\u00a0filmmaker Joe Russo said,\u00a0“He is so immersed in it. He is so dialed in. He\u2019s writing backstory, costume ideas.”<\/strong><\/p>\n “We were just on the phone with him this morning before we got here talking about it,”<\/strong> the director added.\u00a0“He just loves really rich three-dimensional characters. He sees a real opportunity here with the character.”<\/strong><\/p>\n Take a closer look at this latest Avengers: Doomsday promo art in the X post below.<\/p>\n
