Avengers: Endgame Encore Adds Doctor Doom Mask-Building Scenes
New Avengers: Endgame Encore scenes show Doctor Doom building his mask, echoing Iron Man's suit-up moments in the MCU.
New scenes added to Avengers: Endgame Encore put Doctor Doom in the spotlight, with the character shown interacting with Bruce Banner and constructing his own mask. The additions give the Marvel Cinematic Universe its first extended look at Doom's on-screen presence ahead of Robert Downey Jr.'s debut as Victor Von Doom.
The mask-building sequence draws a deliberate parallel to Iron Man's helmet and suit construction, a visual language the MCU has used since Tony Stark's first armor-up moments. The franchise has already established that Doctor Doom is not Tony Stark, even as Downey returns to the universe in a different role.
Downey previously played Iron Man across the MCU, and his casting as Victor Von Doom has been a central talking point. The Encore footage, reported by Screen Rant, leans into that contrast by staging Doom's mask creation as its own iconic beat rather than a direct reprise of Stark's tech.
The MCU has also given other characters their own Iron Man-style scenes, including Riri Williams, suggesting the franchise is comfortable echoing Stark's visual motifs while assigning them to new figures. The Doom scenes extend that pattern to one of Marvel's most recognizable villains.
