There’s no doubt that Doctor Doom is the final boss of Avengers: Doomsday. Though we haven’t yet seen Robert Downey Jr’s take on the villain, The Fantastic Four: First Steps teased his arrival and the threat he’ll present to the eponymous team, and to Earth’s Mightiest Heroes. With Doomsday now in production, we can expect — or at least hope for — more details about the film, and how the Avengers will assemble this time around.
Thanks to Thunderbolts*, we know that there may be some infighting between the surviving members of the original team (led by Anthony Mackie’s Captain America) and the “New Avengers” formed by Valentina Allegra de Fontaine (Julia Louis Dreyfus). But Doomsday will also bring other super-teams into the mix, like the Fantastic Four, and we’ll even see the return of the X-Men from the Fox Universe. How the latter will fit into Doomsday has been a closely-guarded (well, not that closely-guarded) secret, but a new look behind the scenes might confirm one of the most prevalent theories about the conflict in the film.
