Marvel fans are still waiting for their first proper look at Robert Downey Jr. as Doctor Doom in Avengers: Doomsday. The actor made an uncredited cameo as the villain in the Fantastic Four: First Steps post-credits scene (his face wasn’t shown on camera) and has been absent from the four Doomsday teasers released during Avatar: Fire and Ash‘s theatrical run. In lieu of official footage, Marvel has been teasing Doom’s arrival in other ways, offering glimpses of what’s seemingly a comics-accurate design in promotional art and merchandise. Now, Marvel is generating further hype for Doctor Doom by giving fans their first look at his iconic throne — and it marks a big change from the source material.
On display at the Shanghai Expo is Doctor Doom’s throne from Avengers: Doomsday (part of a larger Marvel display showcasing key locations from the film). In stark contrast from the comics, which frequently depict Doom sitting on a more classical, regal throne, this one has a sleek, sci-fi aesthetic.
