‘Avengers: Doomsday’ Officially Shows Off New Look at Doctor Doom [Exclusive]
Iron Studios has exclusively revealed to Collider new Disney D23 Expo merchandise tied to Marvel Studios' upcoming film Avengers: Doomsday, offering fans a fresh look at Robert Downey Jr.'s Doctor Doom. The reveal follows earlier collectible figurines shown at San Diego Comic-Con, which also teased Professor X (Patrick Stewart) and Magneto (Ian McKellen), suggesting the studio is steadily building anticipation for the film through a drip-feed of collectible tie-ins across major fan conventions.
The centrepiece is a D23-exclusive MiniCo figure of Doctor Doom featuring a special metallic paint job made specifically for the event. Iron Studios is also releasing two Walt Disney exclusive collectible figures with a 1960s throwback style. As with previous Doomsday merchandise, the figure retains a distinctive yellow or gold armband, which fans speculate could be connected to the film's plot, possibly hinting at the MCU's introduction of Doom's homeland, Latveria.

Explained simply
Avengers: Doomsday is an upcoming Marvel Studios film featuring Doctor Doom, a masked ruler and scientist from Marvel comics. Robert Downey Jr., known for playing Iron Man in earlier Marvel films, is set to play Doom.
Doom’s homeland in the comics is Latveria, a fictional country in Europe. The film is part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, a series of connected superhero films and television shows, where new characters and settings can link stories together.
Marvel merchandise often appears at fan events such as Disney’s D23 Expo and San Diego Comic-Con. Collectible designs can offer glimpses of a character’s look, but details such as Doom’s gold armband do not by themselves confirm anything about the film’s plot.
