Tom Hiddleston's Loki Faces Robert Downey Jr's Doctor Doom In Avengers: Doomsday Concept Trailer
Robert Downey Jr.'s Doctor Doom invades the Marvel Cinematic Universe in a new Avengers: Doomsday concept trailer. The end of The Multiverse Saga is slowly approaching, as Phase 5 is almost over and Phase 6 is just around the corner, starting with The Fantastic Four: First Steps. With Downey Jr. coming back to the franchise - this time as Victor von Doom, a.k.a. Doctor Doom - there is a lot of anticipation for his return in Avengers: Doomsday.
As Avengers: Doomsday will reportedly be starting shooting this spring, the world is actively speculating how Doctor Doom's debut in the MCU timeline will be handled. To show what a version of that may look like, KH Studio shared a new Avengers: Doomsday concept trailer, depicting Doctor Doom's rise of power in the MCU while also pitting him against several heroes of Earth-616. Check it out below:
The Avengers: Doomsday concept trailer also sets up the idea of Tom Hiddleston coming back as Loki, now serving as the God of Time. While several actors have been confirmed for Avengers: Doomsday, the full cast has yet to be revealed for the Phase 6 installment.
What Tom Hiddleston's Loki Return In Avengers: Doomsday Concept Trailer Means For The MCU
The idea of having Hiddleston as part of the Avengers: Doomsday story is not too shocking, as many fans have been waiting to see him return to the MCU ever since the end of Loki season 2. As Loki made a complex sacrifice by becoming the God of Time, many would consider his story to have come full circle, thus why Loki season 3 hasn't happened. However, having Loki come back and deal with Downey Jr.'s Doctor Doom would be a worthy way to feature him in Avengers: Doomsday without decreasing the impact of the Loki season 2 finale.
Seeing Hiddleston's Loki be featured through Avengers: Doomsday fan-art and concept trailers helps sell the point that the MCU audience is far from done with him. Since the story of Avengers: Secret Wars is rumored to be setting up a soft reboot of the MCU, Avengers: Doomsday could be one of the last chances to have Hiddleston reprise the role, especially if Phase 7 serves as a way to reimagine the franchise. Whether or not Marvel Studios is planning to feature Hiddleston's Loki in Phase 6 remains to be seen.
Our Take On The Avengers: Doomsday Concept Trailer
While the Avengers: Doomsday concept trailer proposes that Downey Jr's arrival as Doctor Doom will bring untold chaos to the MCU, time will tell how much of an impact his appearance will have in the 2026 installment. Given that Doctor Doom will look like one of the most beloved heroes in the MCU timeline, it will be fascinating to see how Tony Stark's allies will deal with this twist. Hopefully, more Avengers: Doomsday updates will be revealed as they get closer to filming.
