An underrated MCU icon is ready to show Robert Downey Jr. who’s boss in ‘Avengers: Doomsday’

The anticipation for Avengers: Doomsday is building, especially with Robert Downey Jr. set to reprise his role as Doctor Doom. As the roster of Marvel heroes expands, fans are eager to see who will join the fight against this formidable villain.

Benedict Wong, known for his role as Wong, has expressed his readiness to face Doom, highlighting his character’s elevation to Sorcerer Supreme after Stephen Strange was snapped away by Thanos. Wong’s role involves dealing with magical threats, and he’s been a consistent presence in the MCU since Doctor Strange in 2016. He mentioned, “I’m all for it. I’m ready!” suggesting he’s looking forward to what lies ahead for Wong in the Marvel universe.

Doctor Doom is a complex antagonist, blending intellect and sorcery, making him a unique threat. His character serves as a dark reflection of Tony Stark, sharing a penchant for narcissism but taking it to an extreme level. Unlike Stark, who thrives in the limelight, Doom operates from the shadows as the ruler of Latveria, which adds to his menacing aura.

While Wong’s participation in the upcoming film isn’t confirmed, his established connections and experience with the Avengers position him as a strong candidate. The Avengers will need all the help they can muster against Doom, given his powerful capabilities. Expect to see a collaboration of heroes, including fan favorites like Captain Marvel and Anthony Mackie’s Captain America, along with potential appearances from anti-heroes like Deadpool and the Scarlet Witch.

Sebastian Stan, who plays Bucky Barnes, has also shown interest in joining the fray, adding to the excitement around the potential roster of characters. With the multiverse at stake, it’s clear that Avengers: Doomsday will be a significant chapter in the MCU, uniting both heroes and fans for a monumental battle.
