Avengers: Doomsday Will Include 1 Unnecessary Villain Team (Report)

by

A recent report suggests that the new *Avengers: Doomsday* movie will feature an extra, and likely pointless, team of supervillains. The film, directed by the Russo Brothers and exploring the multiverse, is already bringing together major superhero groups like the Avengers, Fantastic Four, and X-Men. While many thought these heroes were uniting against a single villain – Doctor Doom, played by Robert Downey Jr. – it now appears there may be more than one threat.

Recent reports indicate Robert Downey Jr.’s Victor Von Doom may assemble his own team of villains, a concept that has surprised many fans. While the team’s members are currently a mystery, this could allow Marvel to introduce alternate versions of familiar actors from across the multiverse.

I was really surprised to hear Alex Perez say in his recent fan Q&A that Doom will actually have a team in *Avengers: Doomsday*. Honestly, I think it’s a bit of a strange addition and, like Perez, I’m not sure it’s really needed.

So, I was chatting with a really reliable source about what teams we might see in the next Avengers movie, and they started listing all the potential superhero groups. Then, almost as an afterthought, they added, “and Team Doom – though honestly, he’s usually a one-man show!” It was a funny little detail that got me really excited about the possibilities.

Q: “What are the teams and duos that fans can expect in ‘Doomsday?'”

There are a lot of teams! We’ve got Sam’s Avengers, the New Avengers (with the ‘Z’ in the name), the Fantastic Four, Team Loki, and the X-Men. Plus, there’s Team Doom, but Doctor Doom usually prefers to work alone.

Okay, so we’ve got this new development in *Doomsday* – Doctor Doom assembling a team. Honestly, it’s a bit of a head-scratcher. I mean, this is a guy who, in the comics, can take on the entire Marvel Multiverse all by himself! So seeing him needing help with, well, whatever supervillain stuff he’s up to, feels… off. It’s definitely got fans talking, and understandably so – why bother with a team if you’re already that powerful?

Doctor Doom occasionally allies himself with other villains in the comics, but he’s usually shown as a solitary opponent capable of defeating the entire Avengers team on his own.

I’m so excited for *Avengers: Doomsday*! It’s amazing to have Robert Downey Jr. back in the MCU, but this time he’s playing a Multiversal version of Doctor Doom – how cool is that? The Russo brothers, who directed previous *Avengers* films, are directing, and the cast is incredible with Chris Hemsworth, Pedro Pascal, Patrick Stewart, and a ton of other stars. Mark your calendars, because it hits theaters December 18, 2026!

Who Will Be on Doctor Doom’s Supervillain Team?

If Doctor Doom is assembling a team of villains to fight the Avengers – even though he might not actually need help – he’s probably doing it for a particular reason. It seems Doom is gathering these antagonists to include a few other powerful villains in the larger, multiversal story being told in *Doomsday*.

Robert Downey Jr. is set to reprise his role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, this time as a unique version of Doctor Doom. Could this version of Doom assemble a team of villains, featuring other familiar faces from past Marvel movies and different universes?

Actors such as Chris Evans and Scarlett Johansson might be cast as famous Marvel villains in this new team-up, offering a fresh take on the classic Avengers conflict between heroes and villains.

I’m really hoping that with *Avengers: Secret Wars*, we’ll see the heroes bring in alternate versions of Iron Man, Captain America, and Black Widow – different versions of the characters we already love – to help fight evil versions of themselves. It sounds like it’ll be an epic battle to decide the fate of the entire multiverse!

It may seem far-fetched, but right now, there are no limits to what could happen with both *Doomsday* and *Secret Wars*.
