The next Avengers movie, Avengers: Doomsday, is set to bring a brand new big bad to the fore in the MCU: Doctor Doom, played by Robert Downey Jr. But just how much introduction does a new Thanos-level villain need? Marvel fans are discussing what they think is the appropriate level of setup.

"Seems like such a massive production, but doesn't have the same setup as leading up to [Infinity War] or Endgame knowing the stones were the main mission for Thanos."
