Marvel has just released an animated short featuring Dr Doom, the villain stepping up to face the Avengers in this year’s Avengers: Doomsday.
The Robot Chicken-like animation features Doom touring his kingdom of Doomstadt in Latveria and while played for laughs, I can’t help feeling there are a few nods and hints at Doomsday in here.
SPOILERS: For a start, I’m pretty sure the couple who appear throughout are Shang-chi and Monica Rambeau; it’s clearly telling us that the Doombots, Doom’s version of Ultron, will appear, and there are interesting nods to the Fantastic Four, as well as… Mephisto!? And the final scene features the Merc with a Mouth himself, Deadpool, heading to face Doom. SPOILERS END.
New standalone Wolverine movie coming? Jackman keen for more
While it’s quite possible this is nothing, I can’t help but feel there are clues and hints in this video… did you spot any?
So, is this video a trail of breadcrumbs? Thoughts? I know you have them, and I wanna hear ’em all.
Enjoy as Doctor Doom provides a guided tour of the festivities and history of his kingdom of Doomstadt, Latveria… SO COMMANDS DOOM!

Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
