Doctor Doom enters the MCU
In the MCU, he is from a different universe and is trying to save his world from an extinction-level threat that threatens the whole multiverse in peril. He is willing to make any sacrifice to achieve his goal and has created an army of superhero and villain variants from across the multiverse.
This puts him in direct conflict with the Avengers, and to stop him, Earth's mightiest heroes have to assemble their multiverse team of heroes, including the X-Men. This will bring all the beloved X-Men characters from the 20th Century Fox movies, including Charles Xavier, Magneto, Cyclops, Jean Grey, Rogue, Deadpool and more into the MCU.
Avengers: Doomsday is shaping up to be one of the biggest big-screen spectacles to look forward to for Marvel fans. The movie will be released worldwide in May 2026.
