Making his debut in 1962’sThe Fantastic Four #5, by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, Victor von Doom, aka Doctor Doom, immediately became a staple Marvel Comics villain, with his smarts and ruthlessness putting him above all others as one of the most iconic fictional characters of all time. Already receiving multiple silver screen adaptations in 2005’sFantastic Four, 2007’sFantastic Four: The Rise of the Silver Surfer, and 2015’sFantastic Four,Doctor Doom is poised to get another live-action iteration innext year’sAvengers: Doomsday, with RDJ’s official character design still yet to be revealed.
A collection of photos shot by Axel Estublier (@tenhakuphoto), the first image shows Cecilosaurus’ Doom sitting on a throne as green swirls all around her, with the second giving a close-up of Cecilosaurus’ meticulously crafted comic-accurate suit while simultaneously hinting atDoom’s true power. Next seen standing with folded arms in front of some very Latverian-esque architecture, brandishing Doom’s might against a fiery background, and then waiting for his next foe with a green-tinged fist of magic, thefinal photo shows Cecilosaurus’ Doom in all of the character’s formidable glory — a look that the MCU’s Doom needs to take after.
