Marvel unveils 'Avengers: Doomsday' concept art featuring Doctor Doom, Loki and returning X-Men characters

Directed by Anthony and Joe Russo, the film reunites heroes from across the MCU and the wider multiverse

Marvel Studios has unveiled the first official concept art for Avengers: Doomsday, offering a detailed look at Doctor Doom alongside several returning X-Men characters ahead of the film's scheduled December release.

The artwork was first shown by Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige during Bilibiliworld in Shanghai before being shared on X by former Marvel visual development director Andy Park.

Park, who said he led visual development on the film before being laid off earlier this year, described the illustration as a significant milestone in his career.

“Doomsday was the final full film I had the honor of leading,” Park wrote. “This illustration commemorates that journey and reveals the characters and their looks for the first time.”

The artwork places Doctor Doom, played by Robert Downey Jr., at its centre while also featuring Loki in a key position, suggesting the character may play an important role in the story.

Returning X-Men characters shown include Nightcrawler, portrayed by Alan Cumming, Beast, played by Kelsey Grammer, and Mystique, played by Rebecca Romijn.

Directed by Anthony and Joe Russo, Avengers: Doomsday reunites heroes from across the Marvel Cinematic Universe and the wider multiverse. Alongside the Fantastic Four, the film's line-up includes Thor, Captain America, Falcon, Shuri, M'Baku, Ant-Man and Shang-Chi.

The concept art also reinforces Loki's importance following the ending of the second season of Loki, in which he became the guardian of the multiverse's branching timelines. With Doctor Doom emerging as the franchise's next major antagonist, the artwork suggests those realities may soon collide.

Avengers: Doomsday is scheduled to be released in cinemas on December 18, 2026.
