Scheduled for theatrical release April 29, 2026, the fifth part of the franchise dedicated to the famous MCU superhero team promises many surprises. After the announcement of the departure of Jonathan Majors, convicted of assault on his ex-partner Grace Jabbari, and therefore the abandonment of his character, Kang the Conqueror, as the main threat of the Multiverse Saga, a replacement was announced by Kevin Feige. His name? Victor Von Fatalis, a brilliant megalomaniac scientist whose mother made a pact with Mephisto to offer him a better future in Latveria, the imaginary country from which they come.
This adversary of the Fantastic Four wants to conquer the world: certainly an arduous task, if not impossible, but common to Marvel supervillains. Last summer, Robert Downey Jr. took on the challenge of donning the costume of Doctor Doomafter a decade in the shoes of Tony Stark. And according to recent rumors about the plot ofAvengers Doomsdayhere is how his confrontation with the heroes of the MCU will unfold…

Following Captain America’s mission to return the Infinity Gems to their place in Time, the fabric of reality has been altered, giving rise to twisted variants like Stark’s Doom and Captain Hydra.
Unsurprisingly, the rumor adds that during an anthology sequence, Doom’s mask will be torn off by the superheroes, revealing the face of Tony Stark. The Avengers will nevertheless be aware that it is not their friend, but a variant. Loki, Spider-Man et Doctor Strange will be at the heart of the vigilante fight to protect the Multiverse from the threat represented by Victor Von Doom.
