Warning! This put up accommodates SPOILERS for Avengers: Endgame Encore.
With Avengers: Endgame Encore now in theaters and its secrets and techniques revealed, MCU followers’ consideration can lastly shift absolutely to Avengers: Doomsday, and Physician Doom actor Robert Downey Jr. himself has simply made it clear that he’s prepared. Endgame Encore’s extra scenes did some heavy lifting on the subject of establishing Doomsday, from the revelation that Physician Doom has “collected” Bruce Banner to the looks of Loki at Steve Rogers and Peggy Carter’s home, suggesting that he’s about to deliver Steve Rogers into the battle towards Doom. Now, brand-new feedback from Anthony Russo have confirmed that it was Steve’s personal resolution to remain previously on the finish of Endgame that brought on the occasions of Doomsday. Clearly, the MCU is gearing up for a wild showdown.
There was additionally already loads of chatter about how Doom was going to make Thanos and his military’s assault appear like baby’s play, and whereas that was initially fairly tough to think about, particularly as a result of Thanos’ arc was the conclusion of all the Infinity Saga, Robert Downey Jr. took to his Instagram this morning with a put up that appears humorous at first look however really confirms simply how devastating Physician Doom goes to be. Particularly, within the picture, Doom is surrounded by normal theater meals, however his popcorn bucket is notably Thanos’ Infinity Gauntlet. That picture alone makes it clear that Thanos is nothing compared to Doom; his best weapon is insignificant sufficient to behave as a container for Doom’s snacks, basically. Once more, this may appear foolish at face worth, nevertheless it seems like a harbinger of what’s to come back.
Simply How Highly effective Is Physician Doom?
At this level, we’ve solely seen glimpses of Physician Doom, primarily in trailers for Doomsday. That’s already been sufficient to substantiate that Doom’s energy is in contrast to something we’ve seen from a villain within the MCU to date. For one, we watched him cease Thor’s axe, Stormbreaker, with just some fingers on one hand, which alone establishes his energy degree is way and away the best of any MCU enemy up to now. One more issue, as if that wasn’t dangerous sufficient, is who many followers suspect will probably be on his staff. The Endgame Encore added scenes confirmed that he has taken Bruce Banner, so it appears secure to imagine he has the Hulk below his management and will probably be utilizing him towards the Avengers. There are additionally hints that he could have taken Spider-Man, too. And, in fact, many stay satisfied that Wanda Maximoff will return within the film and be below Doom’s management as nicely.
A lot of that continues to be to be seen, but when even a fraction of it’s true, the Avengers are in deep trouble. With principally each dwelling Avenger becoming a member of the battle towards Thanos and nonetheless barely scraping by, the truth that Doom’s energy seemingly outmatches Thanos’ by such a large margin suggests the Avengers have little or no probability of beating him. Granted, they do have sure members on their staff who weren’t but concerned in Endgame, resembling Franklin Richards, who’s one in every of Marvel’s strongest characters, as is Jean Gray. Nonetheless, there’s loads of purpose to be very nervous heading into Doomsday, significantly on the subject of who could also be dying by the hands of Doom.
