— Three Universes —

Convergence

Three lineages of heroes, drawn across the breach into a single conflict.

Universe 01

The Avengers

Earth's mightiest heroes — a coalition forged across more than a decade of conflict, loss, and rebuilding. They have stood against gods, tyrants, and the snap of a tyrant's fingers.

Universe 02

The Fantastic Four

Marvel's first family — explorers and scientists bound by a single cosmic voyage. They come from a world of gleaming optimism, now drawn into a conflict far from home.

Universe 03

The X-Men

Children of the atom — a persecuted lineage of mutants who have spent a lifetime fighting for the right to exist. Their war has always been coming; now it has arrived.

— The Threat —

Victor von Doom

Sovereign of Latveria · Master of the Arcane

Doctor Doom — Victor von Doom, sovereign of Latveria, polymath of science and the arcane — stands as the central antagonist of Avengers: Doomsday. Across decades of Marvel history he has endured as one of its most formidable villains: an armored ruler whose ambitions have placed him in conflict with every major heroic lineage in the Marvel Universe.

In this film, the character is portrayed by Robert Downey Jr.
