RDJ’s Doctor Doom Unleashes Secret Weapon to Take Down the X-Men in Avengers: Doomsday!

by

In the upcoming movie Avengers: Doomsday, it’s been hinted that Robert Downey Jr.’s character, Doctor Doom, will unveil a formidable hidden weapon to confront the X-Men. Since his debut as Iron Man/Tony Stark in 2008 up until 2019, Downey has played a significant role in establishing the Marvel Cinematic Universe. In the next year’s Avengers film, he will switch sides and portray Doctor Doom from another universe. His menace is expected to capture the attention not just of Earth’s strongest heroes but also original X-Men figures like Professor X (Patrick Stewart) and Magneto (Ian McKellen).

Based on recent updates, it appears that Doctor Doom may enlist the aid of lethal Sentinels designed to target mutants in order to confront the X-Men during Avengers: Doomsday. This upcoming encounter will introduce the iconic Marvel Comics super-weapons into the MCU for the first time, providing both the Avengers and this rendition of the mutant team with a formidable adversary they’ve never faced before.

According to insider Daniel Richtman’s post on X, it is suggested that Robert Downey Jr.’s character Doctor Doom will covertly employ the Sentinels as a formidable weapon in the upcoming movie for battling the X-Men.

Although the exact frequency of their appearance isn’t clear, enthusiasts have spotted hints of these formidable technological threats across several film leaks. These leaks also unveiled a fresh outfit for Sir Ian McKellen as Magneto.

In the upcoming film, Avengers: Doomsday, The Sentinels will be among the X-Men characters introducing themselves to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. They’ll share the screen with other familiar faces like Alan Cumming portraying Nightcrawler and James Marsden as Cyclops.

The upcoming Marvel team-up movie is being created by directors Joe and Anthony Russo, who also worked on “Avengers: Endgame”. This film will feature prominent actors from the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), such as Anthony Mackie portraying Captain America and Chris Hemsworth as Thor (possibly in his final role as the character). Additionally, it will introduce a character with a legacy tied to the X-Men, who was part of Fox’s tenure with the Marvel franchise.

How Will the Sentinels Play Into Avengers: Doomsday? 

Fans are eagerly anticipating the addition of the Sentinels in Avengers: Doomsday, as they have longed to see this X-Men character interact with the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) for a long time. It seems that next year’s superhero collaboration will finally deliver on their wish.

Watching the Sentinels clash with Marvel’s legendary group of mutants on the silver screen once more is akin to a comic book enthusiast’s dreams materializing before their eyes.

In their final appearance, the giant mutant-slaying robot was wreaking havoc during the intense Battle of Genosha in the animated X-Men ’97 series. Though it’s not definitively confirmed if this show fits within the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), it did illustrate the destructive impact a Sentinel attack can have on mutants carrying their genes.

This makes them ideal for being a covert asset in Robert Downey Jr.’s portrayal of Doctor Doom. Although he might not be able to confront the X-Men directly, setting the X-Men against his Sentinels could lead to catastrophic consequences.

It’s intriguing to ponder if the Sentinels persist throughout the entire film or merely in a single thrilling confrontation against the X-Men, prior to Mister Doom resorting to another strategy when dealing with the diverse superhero groups he encounters during the events of Doomsday. I find myself eagerly anticipating the unfolding narrative.
