Doctor Doom’s MCU Debut for Avengers: Secret Wars Movie
In the run-up to Marvel Studios‘ Avengers: Secret Wars, fan art envisions a standout Doctor Doom scene from Marvel Comics. Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige confirmed the movie’s development in 2022, likely drawing inspiration from Marvel Comics’ Secret Wars events of 1984 and 2015. The more recent Secret Wars narrative delves into the multiverse concept, where a calamity wipes out the Marvel Universe, propelling Doctor Doom into the role of an all-powerful guardian for the survivors. This twist has fans eagerly anticipating Doctor Doom’s upcoming debut in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).
In the 2015 Secret Wars event, Doctor Doom, now known as the God Emperor Doom, shapes Battleworld using fragments from destroyed universes. As new survivors, including the villainous Cabal group, arrive, Doom swiftly deals with them. In a showdown, Doom forcibly extracts the skeleton of the Mad Titan Thanos, a scene now depicted in fan art shared by Hazzaa Jarrar ahead of Avengers: Secret Wars’ release in MCU’s Phase 6.
Speculation arises about Doctor Doom’s appearance in the MCU’s Multiverse Saga, potentially leading to a significant role in Avengers: Secret Wars.
Doctor Doom’s MCU Debut for Avengers: Secret Wars
Since Disney’s acquisition of 20th Century Fox in 2019, Marvel Studios has had the chance to bring Doctor Doom into the MCU, but the supervillain has yet to make an appearance or be mentioned. Given Doctor Doom’s vital role in Marvel Comics’ Secret Wars, fans anticipate his debut before the May 2027 release of Avengers: Secret Wars. However, as Marvel Studios progresses through the MCU’s Multiverse Saga, concerns emerge that introducing a character of Doctor Doom’s magnitude may be challenging, with limited time for proper setup and development before Phase 6.
Fortunately, there’s still ample opportunity for Doctor Doom to make his MCU debut and establish his significant role in the franchise’s future. Rumors suggest Doctor Doom might appear in Fantastic Four, with fan-favorite Cillian Murphy in the lead, releasing two years before Secret Wars, allowing sufficient time for character development. Some theories even propose Doom starting as a hero before turning into a villain, and Avengers: Secret Wars could be the ideal platform for this transformation, saving notable MCU heroes during an incursion only to succumb to the corruption of newfound power.
