I am a VFX artist working on the opening of Doomsday. I guess it's supposed to be shown off relatively soon at SDCC or NYCC so they want it prepped and ready.
>Marvel logo
>Opens with Tony waking up in the Soul world after the snap however it's snowy and all organic life is dead.
>He sees his daughter (we got repurposed footage from Endgame) who asks him if he feels like he saved the world to which Tony responds with "I could have done better."
>His daughter then mutates into Mephisto (yeah I know, "fake and gay because you waited until after Iron heart" no, we got the footage last week) who tells him he has the power to start again by sending his soul to another world where he'll have a new life to try again.
>Tony reluctantly agrees (and they want us to edit him getting all those weird markings that I saw in the last episode of Iron heart) and he's enveloped by the scars as he screams.
>On another world a baby is born and the parents name him "Victor".
>Insert Doomsday logo here
Hopefully this is good enough. No I won't post screencaps as it's a small team and it won't be hard to single me out. Again, expect the full scene at NYCC or SDCC.

even if it's fake SDCC is like 2 weeks away literally doesn't matter

>>149288138 (OP)
Fake and gay

If true I guess this technically makes him both a variant AND Victor Von Doom without contradiction. I don't like it but it works.

Doubt.

Is Marvel really going to reboot the MCU after this movie?

>>149288373
As surely as you will keep posting in MCU related threads.

>>149288262
it sounds awful dude wtf

>>149288138 (OP)
I simply believe that Marvel will ALWAYS make the wrong choice, so while OP could be full of shit? It still sounds perfectly plausible as we've come to know how Marvel works.

>>149289521
I could believe Feige would be dumb enough to go this route and force last-minute VFX, but the show is two weeks away

>>149289521
I remember the plot of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness leaked to Reddit and it seemed obviously fake because Strange does nothing in it and the plot is nothing but a string of murders committed by Wanda. Then the movie was exactly that even after reshoots.

Ever since then I’ve assumed that in the extended midlife crisis Feige has been having since 2020, “that sounds too stupid to be real” is not applicable.

It’s kind of inspiring really, to live in a world where films like Strange 2, Wonder Woman 84, Rise of Skywalker, Thor: Love and Thunder and Quantumania can get made. I missed Hollywood’s most incompetent era of the early-to-mid 1960s and now it’s all back: half-assed scripts that don’t make sense, cheesy obvious fake backgrounds, flat lighting.

Sounds bad so I don't really doubt it's true.

While I do believe Mephisto should be used again (because fuck Ironheart and that trash show) this sounds incredibly fake

Marvel isn't going to SDCC this year.

Kek, I remember how somebody leaked She-Hulk's ending, especially the part where Intelligencia are literal powerless incels and my initial reaction was "quit ragebaiting, you faggot. Nobody's dumb enough to fall for that shit".
The joke was on me, I guess.

>>149288138 (OP)
The least believable thing is someone actually watched Iron Heart.

>>149288138 (OP)
Cool story bro

>>149288138 (OP)
Sounds weirdly unnecessary. And a needless use of budget. And fake.
Why does the audience need to see Tony's soul being literally transplanted into another universe? I think a majority of normalfags can handle the thought of "oh, Dr. Doom is basically an evil Tony Stark from another dimension," which is no doubt how the character will be marketed. That concept's been around for decades at this point.

>>149292365
>Tony's soul being literally transplanted into another universe?
NTA but I get the general sentiment that the MCU needs to spell out stuff for the audiences now as opposed to letting them think for themselves. It's more of a Hollywood issue as a whole as opposed to marvel.

>>149292456
My point was more that having dead Tony be in the soul realm, then having him make a deal with the devil, etc. is actually MORE convoluted as an origin for Doom than just going "he's an evil Stark from another timeline", which is how the in-movie cast are going to simplify it anyway, and isn't anything new when it comes to sci-fi schlock.

Unless this is Marvel's attempt at making the whole thing seem *more* than just sci-fi schlock, which would be a pointless endeavor, but also wouldn't shock me.

>>149292522
I imagine that the whole Doom is Evil Tony is too basic a concept that audiences would dismiss as derivative and not go see the movie. Remember they came out and directly said the snap is the key to Doom's story.

>I imagine that the whole Doom is Evil Tony is too basic a concept that audiences would dismiss as derivative and not go see the movie.
So are MCU audiences too stupid to understand Doom as simply "Evil Tony", or are they too smart to accept the concept in the first place?

>>149291573
I didn't watch Ironheart and I still knew about the Mephisto stuff at the end of the series because the 10 people who did watch it wouldn't shut the fuck up

>>149288138 (OP)
sure thing bud

>>149292536
>Remember they came out and directly said the snap is the key to Doom's story
Where?

extremely funny if true (it isn't)

God I really, really fucking hope this isn't the case.

That sounds... awful.

So that means there's a decent chance this is actually what they are doing.

I guess that this could serve a few purposes, though.
- It establishes an audience and story connection to Doom via Tony without a multi-movie build-up. Basically a band-aid that attempts to solve the question of "how do we hype up this villain as the next big bad and make audiences care about him without a huge multi-movie arc, since we just kicked out the last villain with a huge multi-movie arc and replaced him with this guy?"
- It sets up a connection with Mephisto that's an alternative to his mother selling her soul. And potentially sets up Mephisto for a role as the actual villain while Doom is the main antagonist.
- It might be used to set up a relationship with Dr. Strange, who will be able to determine that Doom has Tony's soul. So Strange will trust him more than others do because of that.

It's the kind of thing they'd do to create an emergency Frankenstein abomination of a movie. But hopefully, ideally they have something better.

Nobody cares.

Not the Russo Bros style.

>>149294491
So what *is* the Russo Bros style then?

>>149288138 (OP)
Lying fag.

>>149288138 (OP)
Yeah and my uncle works at Nintendo

>His daughter then mutates into Mephisto who tells him he has the power to start again by sending his soul to another world where he'll have a new life to try again.

fake and gay. Mephisto makes a deal and just fucks off from the movie? it's telling how you don't even mention what exactly Borat wants out of doing this.
