Robert Downey Jr., who returns to the MCU as the central villain of ‘Avengers: Doctor Destiny’, shared on social media an unpublished artwork to celebrate Easter. In the image, Victor von Doom holds a basket full of chocolate eggs, each bearing the symbol of different teams and characters from the Marvel universe, such as the New Avengers, X‑Men, Fantastic Four (with the emblem crossed out, signaling his disdain for Reed Richards), Black Panther, Namor, Captain America, Loki, Thor, Shang‑Chi and Ant‑Man.
Besides these, two logos draw attention: one of Doctor Strange and another of Spider‑Man, fueling speculation that both will appear in the upcoming film. Rumors suggest that Stephen Strange may team up with Doom, believing his plan is the only way to save the Multiverse. As for the Spider‑Verse, there is discussion about the possible presence of Tobey Maguire’s version, although the expectation is that Tom Holland will return as Peter Parker.
The film is slated to premiere on December 17, 2026 in Brazilian cinemas, a day before the US release, and will be followed by ‘Avengers: Secret Wars’, scheduled for December 17, 2027. The cast gathers heavyweight names: Robert Downey Jr. as Victor Von Doom/Doctor Destiny, Tom Hiddleston (Loki), Anthony Mackie (Captain America), Sebastian Stan (Winter Soldier), Letitia Wright (Black Panther), Wyatt Russell (American Agent), Simu Liu (Shang‑Chi), Florence Pugh (Yelena Belova), Danny Ramirez (Falcon), Winston Duke (M’Baku), Vanessa Kirby (Invisible Woman), Ebon Moss‑Bachrach (Thing), Joseph Quinn (Human Torch), Lewis Pullman (Bob), David Harbour (Red Guardian), Hannah John‑Kamen (Phantom), Patrick Stewart (Professor X), Alan Cumming (Nightcrawler), Ian McKellen (Magneto), Rebecca Romijn (Mystique), James Marsden (Cyclops), Kelsey Grammer (Beast), Channing Tatum (Gambit), Paul Rudd (Ant‑Man), Chris Hemsworth (Thor) and Pedro Pascal (Mr. Fantastic).
