Marvel Studios' upcoming film Doomsday is reportedly set to feature Victor von Doom at the helm of a formidable squad of allies.
Directorial duo Joe and Anthony Russo are preparing to helm the massive ensemble project, written by Stephen McFeely.
Robert Downey Jr. takes on the lead antagonist role, facing off against over a dozen hero factions.
These include the Fantastic Four, X-Men, Captain America, Thor, Wakanda, Namor, and the New Avengers.
Rumored Villain Lineup and Allies
Insider reports from Daniel Richtman indicate Doom will be accompanied by multiple masked male and female sidekicks during the conflict.
Speculation surrounding the villain lineup highlights a faction dubbed the Harbingers of Doom.
This group reportedly features Captain Hydra, Maestro Hulk, King Thanos, and various Doctor Doom variants.
Inspired by Jonathan Hickman's comic storylines, industry insider Alex Perez noted that while Doom variants or Doombots will join Victor, the group may not officially carry that specific team title on screen.
Additional rumors from insider James Mack point to an alternate Doctor Strange variant named Boris serving as Doom's sidekick and wielder of a sling ring.
Further leaks suggest a cohort of masked Latverian witches could reinforce Doom's forces, alongside a potential temporary alliance with the Fantastic Four during the Incursion crisis.
These unconfirmed reports suggest Robert Downey Jr.'s Doctor Doom may lead a dangerous team of multiverse variants and surprising allies in Marvel's Doomsday.
