1 Year Later, The Simpsons Just Stole Marvel’s Doctor Doom Comic-Con Moment

by

At San Diego Comic-Con 2025, The Simpsons could choose to use their massive Hall H panel as an opportunity to poke fun at Marvel Studios and their sensational panel from SDCC2024. This is where Robert Downey Jr. astonished the Hall H audience (and everyone watching worldwide) by announcing his return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Doctor Doom. In a playful jab, the The Simpsons panel participants donned their own Doctor Doom costumes on stage, while moderator Jesse David Fox declared that the show would “Never succumb to the pressures of capitalism or the demands of corporate entities.

If you’ve been away from watching The Simpsons for a while, it still delivers the witty, sarcastic humor that you remember. The scene where the ‘Council of Dooms’ appears together is a subtle jibe at Marvel Studios and their famous Hall H spectacles; it might also be poking fun at Marvel for not being present on stage this year (they skipped their usual Saturday night, prime-time slot). On the other hand, this scene creates an internet-friendly moment that also serves as free advertising for Marvel Studios’ upcoming film, Avengers: Doomsday, the next major crossover event in the franchise. The punchline is that The Simpsons was playing exactly the kind of trick its “business bosses” would appreciate.

For the upcoming 37th season of “The Simpsons,” there are enticing previews that include an assortment of star appearances. One episode is particularly noteworthy as it gathers Glenn Howerton from “It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia,” Danny Pudi and Adam Pally, both from “Community,” Albert Brooks, Cole Escola from “Hacks,” as well as father-son duo Brendan Gleeson and Domhnall Gleeson. These celebrities will make an appearance together in the same episode. Additionally, another captivating episode is planned with Kieran Culkin, winner of Oscars and Emmys for “Succession,” taking on a substantial role beyond just a cameo, promising a juicy part instead.

Remembering Marvel’s Avengers: Doomsday RDJ Reveal

In the video you see, egmr.ru got to be present in Hall H where Marvel Studios chief Kevin Feige and directors of “Avengers: Doomsday,” The Russo Brothers, surprised everyone by bringing out a procession of Doom costumes on stage. One of these cosplayers turned out to be Robert Downey Jr. His initial words, “New mask, same task,” have become one of the most iconic lines among Marvel Cinematic Universe actor quotes. The recent mocking of this moment during the anniversary panel of “The Simpsons” only serves to solidify it as another unforgettable cultural milestone for Marvel Studios.

I’m really looking forward to seeing if the actual “Avengers: Doomsday” movie lives up to expectations when it premieres in theaters on December 18, 2026. This upcoming fall, we can catch a fresh new season of “The Simpsons”.
