Avengers: Doomsday Comic-Con footage reveals more of Doctor Doom’s past and rekindles Marvel’s greatest rivalry
More Avengers: Doomsday footage has been shown at Marvel’s Hall H panel during this year’s San Diego Comic-Con.
Those worried about the lack of Fantastic Four connection to Doctor Doom can rest easy. The behind-closed-door teaser, which GamesRadar+ was in attendance for, features Vanessa Kirby’s Sue Storm narrating.
Opening with a lingering shot of Doom sitting on his throne, Sue Storm narrates the roughly two minutes of footage. “He was always the smartest guy in every room. He used to be different. Used to be kind. Used to be caring. Everything he loved was taken from him. I knew he was lost, but I did not realise he was broken.”
She’s speaking to a room of assembled Marvel heroes and mutants, including Shang-Chi, Gambit, Magneto and more. As she speaks, we see Doom looking up longingly at the image of his wife and child featured on the Doomsday poster.
Cut to a distressed-looking Reed Richards who asks Victor “Did you do this?” Quick cuts reveal new images of Johnny Storm holding Franklin close in a bright environment, Shuri in Wakanda, Thor looking at his daughter Love, Chris Evans’ Steve Rogers and more.
Suddenly, something flies out of a window at the top of a towering building. It’s Doom, who lands with impact. “Did you do this?” asks Reed again, almost shouting now, on his knees in front of Victor. Thor enters the fray “I swear you will wish for hell long before I grant it.” He jumps, but Doom blocks the axe, and easily bats it away, blasting Thor back in the process.
The footage ends with Doom placing his hand on the ground and resurrecting four or five broken Sentinels. Have the Avengers finally met their match?

Cryptically, Doom also says: “All of you have lived stolen lives and now you must give them back.”
Our next real taste of Avengers: Doomsday will likely be as part of Avengers: Endgame Encore, the re-release of Marvel’s greatest cinematic success, this September. Director the Russos have already promised fresh footage which will narratively bridge the gap between Endgame and Doomsday.
That wasn’t all from Marvel. Black Panther 3 has been announced for December 15, 2028, with David Jonsson playing T’Challa’s son in the threequel.
Ghost Rider, starring Ryan Gosling, is also slated post-Secret Wars in 2028. Deadpool and Wolverine’s Shawn Levy will helm the project.
Avengers: Doomsday hits cinemas on December 18. For more, check out the upcoming Marvel movies currently in the works.
