CinemaCon 2026 brought big Marvel Studios energy to Disney’s special presentation. The event closed out the way that attendees thought it would with an epic trailer for Avengers: Doomsday. The Russo brothers, Kevin Feige, Robert Downey Jr. and Chris Evans all hit the stage for some commentary as the crowd buzzed with excitement. Feige first addressed the crowd before bringing out Joe and Anthony Russo to talk about what’s next for the MCU. Joe Russo himself called RDJ’s Victor Von Doom “the greatest Marvel villain of all-time,” even stressing that he’s better than Thanos.
That’s a pretty lofty claim to make, and one that the trailer seemed to support. In it, Thor says via a voiceover that they are going to need every hero available and, even then, it will take a miracle to defeat this force. Russo continued with his thoughts, saying that Doom is one of the most complex Marvel characters who is a scientist, technologist, a magician, and a genius.
Doom is “always three moves ahead” of even the most brilliant Marvel heroes, which, according to Russo, makes him “virtually unbeatable.” You can watch Joe Russo’s comments below:
Well, alrighty then! We are ready to see all our heroes bring the fight to Doom when Avengers: Doomsday hits theaters on December 18.
