Doctor Doom Might Have a Good Reason To Hate Steve Rogers In Avengers Doomsday

by

A recent rumor suggests the reason behind the conflict between Robert Downey Jr.’s Doctor Doom and Chris Evans’ Steve Rogers in the upcoming film, Avengers: Doomsday. After initially being left out of the cast announcement last February, Marvel Studios confirmed Steve Rogers’ return in a teaser trailer released with Avatar: Fire & Ash in December, validating over a year of speculation.

Marvel is keeping the plot of the upcoming Doomsday project largely secret, but rumors suggest Doctor Doom will seek revenge against Steve Rogers. This rivalry is predicted to be one of the most significant changes to the character in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Apparently, Doom’s time travel to be with Peggy Carter after Avengers: Endgame caused a collision between universes, leading to major consequences for him.

Rumors suggest Marvel is planning a significant change to the ending of Endgame later this year. Apparently, when Captain America went back in time to be with Peggy Carter, he didn’t stay in his original universe – he ended up on Earth-828. This universe is already known to fans from The Fantastic Four: First Steps as the home of the Fantastic Four and, surprisingly, Robert Downey Jr.’s version of Doctor Doom.

According to a source, Steve Rogers’ travel between universes led to a dangerous event called an Incursion. Doctor Doom tried to fix it, but one of his experiments failed spectacularly. Since Rogers’ universe-hopping started the problem, Doom apparently blamed him.

Traveling to another universe caused a catastrophic event called an Incursion. Doctor Doom has spent years secretly trying to repair the damage, but one of his attempts backfired spectacularly. Now, he’s holding Steve Rogers responsible.

MTTSH also shared a behind-the-scenes photo from the set of Avengers: Doomsday originally posted by the Russo Brothers back in September. According to this source, the mysterious photo shows the aftermath of a failed experiment involving Doctor Doom, one that resulted in the death of his family and left him scarred – possibly explaining why he always wears a mask.

I’m now able to share that the photo shows the set of a scene where Doom and his family were filmed in a lab. The scene depicts an experiment gone wrong, resulting in their deaths and injuries to Doom.

It turns out Steve isn’t the only target. Reports suggest Doom is hunting down anyone responsible for causing disruptions across the Multiverse, known as Incursions. However, his reasons for going after these other individuals might not be as driven by personal revenge as his conflict with Rogers.

Is Avengers Doomsday Actually Steve Rogers’ Fault?

Marvel is making a surprising choice in its new movie, Avengers Doomsday, by focusing Doctor Doom’s story around Chris Evans’ character, Steve Rogers. Traditionally, Doom’s biggest conflict in Marvel comics—particularly in Secret Wars—has always been with Reed Richards (played by Pedro Pascal). It’s unusual to shift that rivalry and instead create conflict between two original Avengers actors.

If Rogers moving to a different universe caused Doom to lose his family and suffer severe injuries, it’s understandable why Doom is so angry. It appears Steve didn’t jump to another universe because he had to, but because he was looking for a happy life, and unintentionally took that possibility away from Victor von Doom.

While Captain America isn’t solely responsible, it was Doctor Doom’s own experiment gone wrong that led to the tragic loss of his family. However, Doom is known for his arrogance and belief in his own infallibility, so he would never admit fault and would quickly try to blame someone else.
