'Avengers: Doomsday' set video LEAKS online after Russo Brothers announce filming with Robert Downey Jr's Victor Von Doom
A leaked video from the set of
Avengers: Doomsday
has taken the internet by storm, just days after the
Russo Brothers
confirmed that filming is officially underway — with
Robert Downey Jr.
returning in the powerful new role of
Victor Von Doom
.
The brief video clip, which surfaced on social media late Monday night, shows a mystery actor dressed in a grey suit, carrying a briefcase, walking toward a suburban-style house. The actor opens the door, enters, and closes it behind him. While the scene appears simple, the lack of a clear view of the actor's face has ignited a frenzy of speculation among fans.
Many believe the figure could be Robert Downey Jr., shooting his much-anticipated scenes as the iconic supervillain
Doctor Doom
. However, others suggest the actor may be someone else entirely, potentially teasing a surprise casting.
Fueling further speculation, one tweet floated the theory that actor
Julian McMahon
— who previously portrayed Doctor Doom in the
Fantastic Four
films — could be making a return to the
Marvel Cinematic Universe
as a variant of the character. According to this theory, McMahon's version may not be a villain, making room for Downey Jr. to embody the darker, central version of Doctor Doom.
On Instagram, the Russo Brothers, who will direct the MCU's next two Avengers movies, shared the first set photo to announce that filming has finally started. While the picture doesn't reveal details from the film, it shows a chair with the name Victor Von Doom.
Avengers: Doomsday is slated for a May 1, 2026 release. The film will likely be set after the events of 'The Fantastic Four: First Steps' which is slated to hit theatres on 25 June 2025.

The Fantastic Four: First Steps Trailer ‘Heralds' Galactus, Hints At Family Drama
Last Updated: The trailer teases the team facing their most formidable challenge yet, with a chilling glimpse of the cosmic force Galactus. The highly anticipated final trailer for The Fantastic Four: First Steps is finally here, offering a deeper look into the epic showdown led by Marvel's First Family. Kicking off the MCU's Phase 6 this summer, the film is helmed by director Matt Shakman and stars Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach as Mr. Fantastic, Invisible Woman, Human Torch, and The Thing. The trailer teases the team facing their most formidable challenge yet, with a chilling glimpse of the cosmic force Galactus. Julia Garner's Silver Surfer also makes a powerful impression, ominously preparing to 'herald his beginning." The trailer opens to show the family prepared for threats, only for their Sunday Dinner to be interrupted by the Silver Surfer's entry, who tells them, 'I herald his beginning. I herald your end. I herald… Galactus." With the lives of the people on the line, the Fantastic Four try to figure out a way to face Galactus while also facing doubts over the uncertainties. Leaning more into the family aspect of the film, the trailer also shows how the first family must not just save the world but also the people they love. 'Family is about connecting to something bigger than yourself. We'll face it together, as a family," Kirby's Sue Storm says in the trailer. At several points, the trailer also gives glimpses of Reed Richards' and Sue Storm's baby son, Franklin. Last but not least, while the trailer did get closer to revealing the iconic Marvel villain and his story, fans will have to wait a bit longer for his final look. Marvel Studios released a new poster that gives a closer look at Galactus' face. Throughout the First Family's face-off with their most daunting challenge, one cannot miss the members' hilarious attempts to get The Thing to say the famous 'It's Clobbering Time." It is worth mentioning that there have been several theories around the upcoming Fantastic Four film, with the final trailer also indicating that this Earth might not survive the war. This appears to justify why the Fantastic Four are set to appear on Earth-616 in Avengers: Doomsday. However, it is yet to be seen if Robert Downey Jr.'s Doctor Doom will make a cameo. The buzz remains unconfirmed. The Fantastic Four: First Steps will be released on July 27, 2025. First Published:
