Well, a few new concept art pieces for the next sequel of the Marllver Cinematic Universe, Avengers: Doomsday, has leaked recently which gives fans insights on what the movie might be like and how characters would look like. The images, originally posted by Marvel concept artist Mushk Rizvi to ArtStation only to be quickly taken down, have led to rampant speculation about the plot of the movie, and which characters it will include. ​

Doctor Doom — Robert Downey Jr. Robert Downey Jr. as Doctor Doom

Perhaps the most shocking reveal from the leaked concept art is the portrayal of Robert Downey Jr. as Doctor Doom. As in, ‘he’s really the Doom Slayer,’ or the monk — the arpeggios, which have a medieval vibe to them which we thought would be perfect for something that potentially exists outside of time. The imagery certainly suggests an iteration of Doom with high-tech enhancements, which could be a clear setup for him to be a seemingly unstoppable threat in the movie. ​

034: Introduction of a New Black Panther

Concept art also teases a new Black Panther, a variant of T’Challa. The leaked visuals seem to suggest that Damson Idris is taking on this character. It showcases Marvel’s move toward expanding the multiverse, having seeing this intersection across multiple versions of a converse here. ​

Young Avengers Assemble

One of the biggest things to notice about the leaked art is the Young Avengers finally coming together. Characters like Wong and Star-Lord seem to be mentoring this new generation of heroes. This goes hand in hand with Marvel’s efforts to introduce younger heroes and give them a chance to shine, possibly giving way to storylines based on the team in the future. ​

Doctor Doom’s Origins and Allies

Doctor Doom appears to be from a medieval type of universe, and separate from the main MCU timeline based on the concept art. He is joined by variants of everyone from Doctor Strange to Yelena and possibly members of the Fantastic Four like Sue Storm and Franklin Richards. This cast suggests a complicated plot surrounding alternate realities and allegiances. ​

Hulk and His Son

And since the art features Hulk with his son, who seems to be hurt, it may suggest that a massive subplot in the film might involve the son. This would be a chance for the MCU to explore Hulk’s legacy and the struggles endured by his offspring in a chaotic multiverse. ​

Speculations and Official Responses

While these leaks have fueled fan excitement and theories, it’s essential to approach them with caution. Marvel Studios has not officially confirmed these details, and concept art often represents early ideas that may evolve during production. The removal of the images from ArtStation suggests that they were not intended for public viewing, highlighting the importance of awaiting official announcements for accurate information. ​

The leaked concept art for Avengers: Doomsday provides an intriguing glimpse into the potential direction of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. With the introduction of new characters, alternate realities, and complex alliances, the film promises to expand the MCU’s narrative landscape. However, until official confirmations are made, fans should temper their expectations and stay tuned for more updates from Marvel Studios.​
