Get ready for a thrilling revelation! The recently unveiled Pop Mart Marvel figures have dropped a major hint about the upcoming AVENGERS: DOOMSDAY, and it's all about Doctor Doom. But here's the twist: is this the same Doom we know from Robert Downey Jr.'s portrayal in the MCU?
Pop Mart's "Marvel Across the Infinite Series Figures" collection has sparked curiosity with its unique take on the iconic characters. While the Scarlet Witch and Ant-Man look straight out of their MCU adventures, Doctor Doom stands out like a beacon.
The design hints at a comic-inspired Doom, with a distinct look that differs from the leaked promo art. Yet, there's a subtle connection to the mid-credits scene of "The Fantastic Four: First Steps," suggesting an intriguing collaboration between Disney, Marvel Studios, and toy makers.
But here's where it gets controversial: could the portal and energy blasts in the figure be a sneak peek at what's to come in AVENGERS: DOOMSDAY? Even if not, it's clear that Doom is making a comeback in Marvel merchandise, a move by Disney to reintroduce this iconic character to fans of all ages.
And this is the part most people miss: with Marvel Studios' shift from Kang the Conqueror to Doom, there wasn't enough time to seamlessly integrate Doom into the MCU projects leading up to AVENGERS: DOOMSDAY. However, we can't help but wonder if we'll catch a glimpse of him in one of the post-credits scenes of "Spider-Man: Brand New Day."
Take a closer look at these Marvel Pop Mart figures and share your thoughts on Doom's grand return. AVENGERS: DOOMSDAY promises an all-star cast, including Chris Hemsworth, Anthony Mackie, and many more. With the Russo Brothers at the helm and a script by Stephen McFeely, the movie is set to release on December 18, 2026, followed by "Avengers: Secret Wars" on December 17, 2027.
So, what do you think? Is this figure a hint at Doom's new look in AVENGERS: DOOMSDAY, or is it just a clever marketing move? Let us know in the comments!
