Avengers: Doomsday Concept Art Leak Teases Medieval Battleworld and Doctor Doom’s Reign

Marvel fans were in for a surprise with the seemingly accidental leak of concept art from Avengers: Doomsday.

The images, shared by a Marvel artist, have revealed not only the film’s overall concept but also some of the characters set to appear.

A Medieval Take on Doom’s Rule

While the concept art may not represent the final version of the film, the designs suggest a medieval-inspired setting, with Doctor Doom ruling from his throne in Latveria—likely within Battleworld.

Several key MCU characters appear to be part of his court, including Sheriff Strange and Yelena Belova. One particularly striking image features Reed Richards in chains, hinting at a darker turn for Avengers: Doomsday.

Key Characters Revealed in the Leaks

Beyond Doctor Doom, the concept art features several fan-favorite characters:

• Star-Lord & White Vision: The two are seen lounging on a couch, enjoying pizza and drinks. Unlike other characters, they don’t appear to be in a medieval setting.
• Hulk & She-Hulk: The duo is depicted in a Latverian village, possibly under Doom’s rule.
• Black Panther: An alternate version of T’Challa, possibly a recast, stands in Wakanda.
• Young Avengers: A bar scene showcases Kate Bishop, Cassie Lang, Speed, Wiccan, and Ms. Marvel, dressed in their usual modern outfits, in a Guardians of the Galaxy-style futuristic setting.

Notable Omissions and Surprises

There are a few unexpected absences from the artwork. Notably missing are Sam Wilson’s Captain America, Thor, and Captain Marvel, despite their prominence in the current MCU lineup.

Similarly, Daredevil, Punisher, and other street-level heroes do not appear. Surprisingly, Spider-Man is also absent, which is difficult to believe given his significance in Marvel’s cinematic universe.

One unexpected return is She-Hulk, despite the mixed reception of her Disney+ series. Additionally, the inclusion of Yelena Belova suggests she will continue playing a major role in the MCU beyond Thunderbolts.

Concept Art Leaks and Fan Reactions

The images were initially posted on ArtStation by Marvel artist Mushk Rizvi before being swiftly removed. However, by then, they had already been widely circulated.

The leaks have sparked intense discussions among fans, many of whom are excited about the direction of the film.

Fans were particularly thrilled about Star-Lord’s return to the MCU, albeit without the rest of the Guardians.

Yelena’s presence and the apparent assembly of the Young Avengers further fueled speculation about the film’s storyline.

Doctor Doom’s Throne and Robert Downey Jr.’s Role

Perhaps the most talked-about aspect of the leak is Doctor Doom’s throne room.

The artwork showcases Doom ruling in a medieval-style setting, surrounded by major MCU characters, including a chained Reed Richards. This confirms speculation that Doom will have a central role in the film.

Adding to the excitement is Robert Downey Jr.’s return to the MCU—not as Tony Stark, but as Victor Von Doom himself.

This revelation has left fans speculating about how his character will fit into the larger storyline.

While some initially thought he might be an alternate version of Tony Stark, it has been confirmed that he is playing the actual Doctor Doom.

The Future of Avengers: Doomsday

Marvel has been tight-lipped about the plot details of Avengers: Doomsday, set for release in May 2026.

Meanwhile, Avengers: Secret Wars is scheduled to follow in 2027. With the leaks hinting at multiple timelines and universes, fans are eagerly awaiting official announcements.

The leaked images suggest that the film will bring together characters from different corners of the MCU, possibly leading to the grand multiversal battle in Secret Wars.

While some characters might be reserved for that film, Avengers: Doomsday is shaping up to be a game-changer for the franchise.

Final Thoughts

Despite the leaks, much remains unknown about Avengers: Doomsday. The concept art has given fans a glimpse into a unique medieval-inspired setting with Doom at its center.

However, with the images now removed, Marvel may still have some surprises in store.

Until more details emerge, fans can only speculate about how this film will unfold—but one thing is certain: Avengers: Doomsday is shaping up to be one of the most intriguing projects in the MCU’s future.
