Overview
- Marvel Studios installed a physical Doctor Doom throne as part of an Avengers: Doomsday exhibit at BilibiliWorld in Shanghai, and photos of the display were shared widely on social media.
- The Shanghai display is the first official, on‑site confirmation that Robert Downey Jr.’s Doctor Doom will have the iconic throne in the film.
- Images of the throne match earlier leaked pictures that had been dismissed by some as AI fakes, giving those prior leaks new credibility.
- Industry outlets now expect Marvel to mount a bigger promotional push at San Diego Comic‑Con later this month, with the film scheduled to open worldwide on December 18, 2026.
- An uncorroborated report from a media commentator says post‑production may be facing problems, but Marvel has not confirmed that and the claim remains developing; any production issues could affect the studio’s remaining marketing timetable.
