Kang is out, Doom is in — and the latest buzz claims Avengers: Doomsday could unleash not one but two female Doctor Dooms, even as Robert Downey Jr. reportedly steps behind the mask as the MCU’s new big bad.

Here we go again: the latest Marvel whisper says Avengers: Doomsday might not just give us Doctor Doom as the Big Bad, but a whole crowd of Dooms — including two women under the mask. Yes, plural Dooms. It is very nerdy, very rumor-y, and kind of makes sense.

Where this is coming from

Insider John Rocha floated it on The Hot Mic, and the rumor got passed around on X by The Marvelous Geek on November 14, 2025. The key claim:

'AVENGERS: DOOMSDAY will reportedly feature at least two female versions of Doctor Doom. One wears a purple cloak with a golden mask, and the other wears a gold cloak with a mask.'

All of this is tied to the broader chatter that Robert Downey Jr. is playing Doom and positioning him as the MCU's new central villain. Emphasis on chatter.

Why a swarm of Dooms actually tracks

If you remember where Marvel was heading pre-course-correction, the plan was Kang variants all over the multiverse leading to a full-blown Council of Kangs. Then Marvel cut ties with Jonathan Majors, the Kang road got a dead end, and The Kang Dynasty got rethought. Swapping in Doom variants to fill that multiversal power vacuum is the cleanest pivot: take the same structure (council of dangerous alternates) and replace the face and mythology. A Council of Dooms scheming an Earth invasion? Easy fit.

About those two female Dooms

MCU precedent already allows this. Marvel has zero issue remixing identities or playing with variants:

- Taskmaster was gender-flipped in Black Widow and is back in Thunderbolts*
- Loki introduced a female Loki variant (Sylvie), which the audience rolled with instantly

So, female Doctor Doom variants across the multiverse? Not a leap. The wardrobe specifics floating around are oddly precise: one in a purple cloak with a golden mask; the other in a gold cloak with a mask. Specific, but still unconfirmed.

The snapshot

  • Who is saying this: John Rocha on The Hot Mic; amplified by The Marvelous Geek on X (Nov 14, 2025)
  • What it claims: Avengers: Doomsday features multiple Dooms, including at least two female versions with distinct cloak/mask combos
  • Why it could happen: It neatly replaces the scrapped Council of Kangs idea after Marvel moved on from Jonathan Majors
  • MCU precedent: Gender-swapped Taskmaster; female Loki variant
  • Status: Unconfirmed rumor; specifics (including RDJ as Doom) remain in the rumor zone
  • Release date: Avengers: Doomsday is currently set for December 18, 2026 (USA)

Bottom line

If Marvel really is swapping the Kang multiverse machine for a Doom multiverse machine, expect a lot of masks, power plays, and at least a couple of women ruling Latveria across timelines. Until Marvel says something out loud, treat this as a fun (and oddly detailed) rumor that fits the jigsaw puzzle they now have to solve.
