Doctor Doom’s Sharpest Look Yet: Pop Secret Art Reveals Robert Downey Jr.’s Avengers: Doomsday Villain in HD

Marvel’s marketing for Avengers: Doomsday has found an unexpected stage: the snack aisle. Popcorn brand Pop Secret has teamed up with Marvel Studios and revealed new key art starring Robert Downey Jr.’s Doctor Doom, and it is the crispest official image of the villain so far. The film arrives on December 18.

What the New Art Shows?

The artwork fronts limited-edition Doomsday packaging, with the popcorn on the left and Doom on the right. He wears his trademark green hooded cloak, fastened to heavy silver armor at two shoulder pauldrons, and stands stoically in front of a green stained-glass-style window. The render is clean, and his armor looks greener than in any Doom image seen online before.

The Merch and Trailer Moments Worth Remembering

The July trailer opened with Doom on his throne while Sue Storm narrated his tragic past, and it showed him casually catching Thor’s hammer mid-throw. The poster from that event showed him walking through green smoke, and the costume on display gave fans a realistic idea of his on-screen look. At D23, the Sentinel still showed Doom at the height of his power. Meanwhile, collectibles from Hot Toys, which displays his green Latverian magic, and Iron Studios, which puts him on his throne, have also offered close-up looks.

What Comes Next?

The source expects marketing to ramp up, with less than three months to go. The D23 trailer is not the final one, and a last trailer should arrive in the coming weeks with plenty of Doom footage. A “Silence Your Phones” theater promo released this week already showed him using his powers rendered with Jack Kirby’s crackling energy dots, known as the Kirby Krackle, for the first time in live action. Downey himself also shared an Endgame Encore poster of Doom in a cinema seat, with a popcorn-filled nano gauntlet and the line “Doom Shall Attend.”

Why It Matters?

For a character fans have waited years to see done properly, each sharper image builds confidence. For more on the film, visit the Avengers: Doomsday page on Wikipedia.
