Watch Doctor Doom Hologram's Wild Dance Steal the Avengers: Doomsday Wrap Party
Doctor Doom crashed the Avengers: Doomsday wrap party—via hologram—cutting loose to thumping electronic beats as cast and crew celebrated the end of filming. Marvel Studios’ mid-September bash officially locked the blockbuster’s shoot and teased the villain’s looming presence.
Marvel threw a wrap party for Avengers: Doomsday and, because nothing is normal anymore, Doctor Doom showed up as a dancing hologram. Yes, a full-on Doom projection grooving to electronic music while the cast and crew watched. I am not saying it makes sense. I am saying it happened.
What actually happened
Marvel Studios hosted the celebration in mid-September 2025 to mark the end of filming. Action designer Micah Karns shared a quick clip on Instagram Stories, and it did the usual social media lap within hours. Over on X (formerly Twitter), one account summed up the vibe with this:
"They had a dancing doom hologram at the avengers doomsday wrap party HELLO is this how he'll be distracting the avengers."
The post landed on September 21, 2025, and, honestly, fair question.
Where the movie is at
Principal photography ran five months, kicking off in April 2025 and bouncing between Pinewood Studios in the U.K. and the deserts of Bahrain. With the wrap party in the rearview, Avengers: Doomsday is now in post-production with a long runway to release on December 18, 2026. Expect more cameras to roll: additional cast are set to film scenes in the coming months, and reshoots are on the calendar. (It is Marvel. This is how they operate.)
Doom, teased on purpose
The hologram is just the latest in a steady drip of Doom teases. Earlier this month, the Walt Disney Marketing Expo ran a laser show and massive artwork that featured the character, giving everyone a first real look at his MCU design. Even crew wrap gifts leaned in, sporting classic Jack Kirby Doom art. Subtle this is not.
Who is making and starring in this thing
Joe and Anthony Russo are back in the directors chairs, with a screenplay by Stephen McFeely and Michael Waldron. As for the on-screen lineup, it is stacked:
- Robert Downey Jr. as Doctor Doom
- Paul Rudd as Ant-Man
- Anthony Mackie as Captain America
- Florence Pugh as Yelena Belova
- Tom Hiddleston as Loki
- Letitia Wright as Shuri / Black Panther
- Chris Hemsworth as Thor
- Ian McKellen, Patrick Stewart, Rebecca Romijn, James Marsden, Kelsey Grammer, and Alan Cumming reprising their X-Men roles
- Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach as the Fantastic Four
Who might still pop in
Rumors are swirling (shocking, I know) about appearances from Elizabeth Olsen, Benedict Cumberbatch, and Brie Larson. There is also chatter that Chris Evans could slip back in for something undisclosed. If true, the cameos budget alone might need its own line item.
For now, the takeaway is simple: filming is done, the machine is rolling, and Marvel is very publicly making Doctor Doom the main event. And if he distracts the Avengers by breaking into a dance number? Well, the seeds have been planted.
