Few casting announcements have made waves in the Marvel Cinematic Universe like Robert Downey Jr. returning as Doctor Doom. The unexpected reveal came during San Diego Comic-Con 2024, where Marvel announced that the Russo brothers would direct ‘Avengers: Doomsday’ and that Downey would swap Iron Man’s armor for Latveria’s iconic mask. Since then, fans have eagerly awaited a glimpse of how Doctor Doom’s costume will appear on screen.

With ‘Avengers: Doomsday’ scheduled to premiere on Dec. 18, anticipation continues to build. Although the first full trailer dropped in July, Marvel has yet to unveil a complete public reveal of Downey’s Doom costume in any trailer, leaving collectibles to provide some early insights into the character’s wardrobe. This is why a new set of figure photos is creating such excitement.

On Oct. 2, MCU Film News showcased a fresh look at a Doctor Doom figure from the film. The images depict a cloaked figure shrouded in green light, with a dark metallic mask visible beneath the hood. A silver clasp and chain secure the cloak, while one hand is dramatically raised in a spellcasting pose against a gothic, green-lit backdrop.

The design closely resembles Hot Toys’ Victor Von Doom 1/6 scale collectible figure, which was revealed earlier this fall. Hot Toys describes it as capturing Doom cloaked for a journey beyond borders, featuring a newly crafted helmeted head with separate rolling eyeballs to convey his calculated gaze. The cloak includes bendable wire for dynamic posing and is fastened by a magnetic silver-colored clasp and a metal chain.

Doom’s outfit features a dark green tunic, a belt with a rectangular buckle, pants, and long boots. The set comes with multiple interchangeable hands and effects, including translucent green flames and hands surrounded by green and black krackle effects, illustrating Doom channeling his mystic power.

This figure serves as more than just a collectible; it offers a sneak peek at the movie’s wardrobe. The Hot Toys figure appears to mirror what Doom wore in the mid-credits scene of ‘The Fantastic Four: First Steps.’ Hot Toys specifically identifies this version as Victor Von Doom, with no visible scars around his eyes.

It also confirms that Doom will have at least two distinct looks, although the film has yet to disclose when either costume will appear. Earlier, Hot Toys unveiled an armored Doctor Doom figure at San Diego Comic-Con in July, along with a figure of Doom’s throne. Downey also developed his own backstory for the character and contributed costume ideas, according to production details.

The Victor Von Doom figure is limited to 3,000 pieces, with pre-orders available at Sideshow.com. Pricing for this alternate costume has not yet been confirmed. Hot Toys’ earlier armored figure was offered in an Ultimate Version that includes an LED light-up diorama base shaped like a Sentinel’s outstretched hand.

Doom collectibles are available across various price ranges. Hasbro’s 6-inch Marvel Legends Doctor Doom retails for $27.99, while Iron Studios’ 1:4 scale figure is priced at $1,299.99 and is set to release in spring 2027. LEGO is also launching a New Avengers Tower set with 954 pieces, which includes a Doctor Doom minifigure.

The film unites the Avengers, Wakandans, Fantastic Four, New Avengers, and X-Men to confront Doctor Doom. Chris Evans returns as Steve Rogers for the first time since ‘Avengers: Endgame,’ alongside Patrick Stewart as Charles Xavier, Sebastian Stan, Letitia Wright, Tom Hiddleston, and many others. The four Avengers films to date have grossed over $7.7 billion at the box office.

‘Avengers: Secret Wars’ is set to follow on Dec. 17, 2027, indicating that Doom’s story is just beginning.
