Doom is coming. And for everyone in the MCU \u2014 Avengers, X-Men, janitors \u2014 Robert Downey Jr\u2019s Latverian villain is an unknown quantity, popping up out of nowhere to wreak all kinds of havoc.<\/p>\n
<\/span><\/p>\n Well, almost everyone. For the Avengers: Doomsday<\/em> footage that screened in Hall H during the Marvel Studios presentation at Comic-Con made clear, Victor Von Doom is, indeed, an old pal of the Fantastic Four. Through the opening seconds of the trailer, which begins with a shot of Doom sitting atop a suitably ornate throne, we hear the voice of Vanessa Kirby\u2019s Sue Storm describing \u2014 presumably to the FF\u2019s new Earth-616 allies \u2014 the man they once knew. \u201cHe was always the smartest guy in the room,\u201d she says. \u201cHe used to be different. He used to be kind. He used to be caring.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n But then a shot of Doom looking at a painting of a woman and a child (their identities, as yet, unconfirmed) triggers a change of mood. \u201cAnd then everything he loved was taken from him,\u201d continues Sue, proving that even the ruler of Latveria and potentially most powerful character in the MCU can\u2019t prevent a good old-fashioned spot of fridging. \u201cAnd he was lost. I did not realise he was broken.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n This connection between Doom was not entirely clear in the wake of last year\u2019s The Fantastic Four: First Steps<\/em>, in which the good Doctor was teased (and, indeed, showed up in the post-credits sting) but not talked about overtly. Although director Matt Shakman did confirm to Empire<\/em>, in our spoiler special interview, that \u201che is known to them. Doom, of course, has great history with Reed, and with all of them.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n So they know Doom. They know who he is, what he is. But not, perhaps, what he\u2019s capable of. After a brief glimpse of a scene of shocking devastation in the footage, an irate Reed Richards (Pedro Pascal) confronts Doom. \u201cVictor, did you do this?\u201d he asks, and later in the footage, we return to that moment when Mr. Fantastic faces off against Mr. Fantastically Fiendish. \u201cAnswer me, Victor \u2014 DID YOU DO THIS?\u201d<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Could it be that Doom is targeting multiversal aberrations?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n The answer, it would seem, is unequivocally \u2018yes\u2019. Doom, when we meet him in Doomsday<\/em>, is a seriously powerful player. It\u2019s still not entirely clear what\u2019s driving him in Doomsday<\/em>. Is he attempting to avert an incursion that could destroy a whole bunch of universes, including the main MCU one, his own reality, and that housing the X-Men? Is he collecting power from powerful beings in order to further his ambitions? Is there something more at play here? We\u2019ll find out soon enough, but in the footage we hear Doom \u2014 with Downey again showing not a single iota of Tony Stark in his performance \u2014 hiss, \u201call of you have lived stolen lives. Now you must give them back.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n As he says this, we cut between a series of major MCU characters. One of whom is Tom Hiddleston\u2019s Loki, a time-hopping variant who quite literally is living a stolen life. Could it be that Doom is targeting multiversal aberrations? If so, then Loki might be for the chop. Again.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n That will remain to be seen, of course. But Loki\u2019s brother, Thor, is very much in Doom\u2019s sights. In the trailer that was released earlier in the week, Thor warns his fellow Avengers (and the FF) just how powerful this new enemy is. We saw in that trailer a brief glimpse of that power, as Thor faces off against Doom. \u201cI swear you will beg for Hell, long before I grant it,\u201d snarls Chris Hemsworth\u2019s God of Thunder, just before he drives down on Doom with every ounce of godlike power he can muster, Stormbreaker swinging down on Doom\u2019s head with great vengeance and furious anger\u2026 until it isn\u2019t, Doom stopping the blow with just two fingers.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n In the Hall H footage, we see a little more, with Doom repelling Thor with an energy blast. And then comes the money shot, the image that shows that Doom is not mucking about. \u201cHell,\u201d he retorts, \u201canswers to me.\u201d And he proves it by using his prodigious magic skills (eat your heart out, Penn & Teller) to raise, seemingly from the dead, a small army of Sentinels. Thor is going to need some serious back-up. And, perhaps, some new pants. We\u2019ll find out on December 18.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Doom is coming.
