Give Me 12 Minutes and You'll Understand Doom Before Doomsday

Marvel has already shown us Doctor Doom's plan, in three scenes across three different releases. Here's everything you need to know about Victor von Doom before Avengers: Doomsday (in cinemas 18 December 2026): the boy from Latveria, the mask he burned onto his own face, the time he became God Emperor of the multiverse, why Marvel swapped Kang for Robert Downey Jr., and the three clues that point to what Doom really wants. The theory section is clearly labelled as theory. SPOILERS for the Avengers: Endgame Encore re-release scenes run from 8:19 to 9:18 (skip to 9:18 to avoid them). The theory section also briefly refers back to the Encore scenes at about 10:03 and 10:49-11:05. 0:00 Doom's plan, hidden in 3 scenes 0:36 The boy in the snow 1:31 The mask 2:42 Doom's entire comic history in 60 seconds 3:45 Why he's Marvel's greatest villain 4:54 The villain Marvel lost 5:27 The mask comes off (SDCC 2024) 6:09 Clue #1: Franklin 7:03 Clue #2: What the trailers confirm 8:19 Clue #3: Endgame Encore (spoilers) 9:18 What Doomsday is setting up 9:50 The theory 11:26 What to watch next Music by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com), licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/b...
