As a long-time Marvel Comics fan, I couldn’t contain my excitement as I sat in the bustling Hall H at San Diego Comic-Con, surrounded by fellow enthusiasts eagerly anticipating the latest announcements from Marvel Studios and Marvel Comics. The news that Robert Downey Jr. would be reprising his iconic role as Doctor Doom in “Avengers: Doomsday” had me jumping out of my seat!


As an avid reader of Blood Hunt, I must warn you: the upcoming content in issue 5 may reveal some major plot twists and surprises. If you prefer to experience these revelations firsthand during the comic’s release, it would be best to avoid this article for now. Proceed with caution!

At San Diego Comic-Con over the weekend, Marvel Studios announced that Robert Downey Jr. will rejoin the Marvel Cinematic Universe to portray Doctor Doom. This iconic villain is set for a significant role in both the comics and films, with the Fantastic Four’s arch-nemesis appearing in “Avengers: Doomsday.” In addition, the Fantastic Four themselves are slated for an MCU movie next year. Meanwhile, the conclusion of “Blood Hunt” in the comics paves the way for Doctor Doom to assume the mantle of Marvel’s newest Sorcerer Supreme.

At Comic-Con’s Next Big Thing Panel on Friday, Marvel Editor-in-Chief C.B. Cebulski and various Marvel creators unveiled several exciting updates. Among these revelations were plans for a new “West Coast Avengers” series and the succession of Deadpool by his daughter Ellie following his demise. Furthermore, Doctor Doom was confirmed as a key character in Joe Kelly and Ed McGuinness’ forthcoming tenure on “The Amazing Spider-Man.” In this storyline, titled “The 8 Lives of Spider-Man,” which follows the conclusion of “Blood Hunt,” Doctor Doom assumes the role of Sorcerer Supreme from Doctor Strange. He bestows upon Spider-Man a magical suit and eight additional lives to confront an evil deity and its offspring. This epic battle results in significant changes for Doctor Doom by 2025.
