AVENGERS: DOOMSDAY | FIRST TRAILER

Now that Doctor Doom has been confirmed as the arch-villain of the next Avengers movie, having him go toe-to-toe with the MCU's new Avengers is inevitable. Doctor Strange is now a veteran of the team, despite only having two solo movies to his name, after he joined up to fight Thanos and steer them toward the single timeline in which he was defeated. The fact that Doctor Strange remains the most intimately acquainted with the multiverse and its intricacies also makes him squaring off against the Multiverse Saga's arch villain stand to reason.

Aside from Strange now being a central figure in the Multiverse Saga, his duel with Doctor Doom also promises one of the biggest spectacles in Avengers: Doomsday. Doom is also a master of sorcery in Marvel Comics, and the promise of him and Strange replicating some of the best fight sequences in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness would be remiss of Marvel to avoid. Compounding this is the fact that, as yet, Benedict Cumberbatch is the only MCU actor to confirm that he has begun work on Avengers: Doomsday, suggesting he will play an important role.
