New mask, old sentiment 

Following the reveal of ‘Avengers: Doomsday’ and his role as Victor von Doom, Robert Downey Jr. posted an image of himself wearing a mask on Instagram. He captioned it, saying, “New mask, same task.” In other words, the work is old but the mask is new.

‘Avengers: Secret Wars’, a fresh addition 

Marvel Studios also revealed “Avengers: Secret Wars” as a new movie in addition to “Avengers: Doomsday” expected to release on May 2027. In reference to Doctor Doom, he is a fictional Marvel Comics supervillain who opposes the Fantastic Four. ‘Fantastic Four 5’ debuted this character for the first time in 1962.

Doom is well-known for imposing his despotic rule over the made-up nation of Latveria. More information about “Avengers: Doomsday,” though, is still to come.
