Robert Downey, Jr.'s Doctor Doom will wear at least two costumes in Avengers: Doomsday, and a new action figure gives us a much better look at his alternate suit of armor.

This Avengers: Doomsday Figure Reveals a Closer Look at Doctor Doom's Alternate Costume

Doctor Doom, actor Robert Downey Jr.'s new character, will wear two distinct suits of armor in Avengers: Doomsday. Hot Toys and Sideshow Collectibles have unveiled a new Hot Toys figure showcasing Victor von Doom's secondary costume. Despite sharing the same traditional design aesthetic of a green cloak and metal mask, this suit appears to be more akin to formal regal wear compared to the previous armor, which was more of a functional suit of armor.

The green suit is notably muted in color, completely covering the armored components, and the mask is smoother and less aggressive than the one on the Doctor Doom armor. This alternate costume may have been seen during Doom's initial appearance in The Fantastic Four: First Steps post-credits scene, suggesting that it will be worn during the early stages of Avengers: Doomsday, before Doom's true power and motivations are revealed to the Earth's Mightiest Heroes.

There is currently no set release date or price for this Sideshow figure, but given the Doctor Doom figure's release details, it is expected to cost around $285 and release in late 2027. Avengers: Doomsday is set to release on December 18, with a teaser for the movie in the form of Avengers: Endgame Encore, which is the longest MCU movie to date. Marvel has also released a LEGO recreation of the trailer to further tease Doomsday.
