- A new teaser for Avengers: Apocalypse was posted online
- He appeared on the TikTok account of the film’s makers’ production company.
- Behind-the-scenes video appears to contain clues to its plot
Another day, another enigmatic teaser for Avengers: Apocalypse – and this one seems to include other important clues to its history.
The video, which you can see below, was uploaded to the official TikTok account of AGBO, the production company founded by the Marvel film’s directors, Joe and Anthony Russo. And, while this is another behind-the-scenes recording that doesn’t contain any actual footage from the film, it’s clearly trying to tell us something important.
The first and most obvious story-based clue concerns the Doctor Doom and Iron Man masks displayed throughout the video.
Since Robert Downey Jr was publicly revealed as the actor who will play Victor von Doom in doomsday And Avengers: Secret Warsfans suspect there is a connection between his two Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) characters.
The prevailing theory is that Doom will be a multiversal variant of the MCU’s Stark/Iron Man, who Downey Jr played between 2008 and 2019. More fuel was added to the fire of this hypothesis in July when the Marvel superstar appeared to tease that he would have a dual role in the MCU film.
The Russos’ latest teaser only adds weight to this theory. Indeed, the TokTik shows two women standing back to back, one holding an Iron Man mask and the other holding the iconic Doctor Doom face covering. With the pair back to back, the implication is that Doom is a Stark doppelganger who ended up following a different path than his MCU counterpart.
As for the other clue, it is visible at 0:13. As the camera pans to show the woman holding Doom’s mask, the costumes that will be worn by Doom, Sue Storm, and Franklin Richards can be seen in the background.
This is a cleverly positioned Easter egg that, predictably, has become a hot topic of conversation among fans.
On the one hand, it is a clear reminder to Fantastic Four: first steps‘ end credits scene, which included the aforementioned trio. However, the decision to show these three characters’ outfits is also notable because of what’s happening in the 2015 version of Marvel’s “Secret Wars” comic book series.

In 2015’s “Secret Wars,” Sue Storm becomes the wife and queen of the God Emperor Doom, who boasts him on a patchwork planet known as Battleworld after the collapse of the Marvel multiverse. In this rewritten reality, Franklin is also the son of Doom.
The Russo Brothers took inspiration from the two “Secret Wars” comic book series for the next two Avengers films. It therefore stands to reason that the above scenario will be adapted and used at the end of the film. doomsday or as a major plot point in Secret Wars. If true, it can’t be a coincidence that Doom, Storm, and Richards’ costumes were placed in the background of the Russos’ latest TikTok.
