Doctor Doom has officially made his real-world debut—and he isn't waiting until Avengers: Doomsday hits theaters to start conquering the globe.
Marvel Studios has unveiled a massive, life-sized statue of Doctor Doom seated atop his golden Latverian throne in Japan. The installation, which features the iconic villain clad in intricate metallic armor and emerald robes, has quickly become a viral attraction as passersby gather to capture photos beneath the towering figure.
The throne display is part of a sweeping, high-profile promotional push across Japan that has also featured central Tokyo parades with giant 4.5-meter floats and cloaked "Doom Corps" marches. With Robert Downey Jr. stepping into the role of the MCU's ultimate antagonist, Marvel is making sure Doom’s presence is impossible to ignore ahead of the film's global release.
