Did not mention doom at all never announced RDJ never changed the name of avengers till maybe around now a month after fantastic 4 home release. Only seeing doom appear in the end credits.
I get marketing and all but the movies are so much better when you go in cold without seeing trailers, etc.

I stopped watching trailers years ago and it’s made the experience better. What’s the point in watching a trailer? I’m going to see the movie either way.

Theorizing with the community is one of the best parts of an MCU project
bangarang902102025-11-21 02:22
Theorizing is great until you see spoilers IMO. I would rather just be surprised in the movie theater
createO3352025-11-20 04:33
It’s not just trailers anymore it’s cons or press releases or posters. Thunderbolts should never have revealed the new avengers name on posters then never needed to reveal RDJ at a con
ZekeorSomething2025-11-20 05:10
But the posters didn’t reveal the New Avengers title until after the movie came out.
Neobo2025-11-20 09:48
It wasn't even a week before they updated posters, I believe.
orange7slices2025-11-20 05:16
Agreed. Too bad Red Hulk wasn’t a surprise
a_o2025-11-20 04:08
Yeah that’d be pretty gangster
Mass24242025-11-20 04:34
Yes, the same reason I wish they kept the Hulk a secret for Thor: Ragnarok? seeing it in theaters and it being a complete shock would have been so cool. Even in Spider-Man in Captain america: Civil War, the theater reaction would have been so cool.
HearingCandid89742025-11-20 04:35
Part of me thinks yes, but the other part of me thinks that one of the only reasons I’m able to be open to the idea is because I’ve had so much time to think about and process it. I think reactions would have been much more aggressively negative if they were blindsided with it

Its about marketing and getting people butts in the seats. Knowing RDJ is in the movie before it comes out will help in bringing more people in, than not knowing he's on it, especially from people that are more picky over if they wanna see MCU movies or not due to their recent so-so output
Marrow-Sun77262025-11-20 06:30
Disney is paying enough money to RDJ and the Russos that they would have never been willing to try and keep it quiet.

How about thet get a better actor to play Dr. Doom. But set up actual build-up for him as Kang's replacement as the newxmain villain for the Multiverse Saga. I.E. show us Doctor Doom killing the Council of Kangs in the mid-credit scene of Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania and then drop hints of him arriving on Earth-616 in Captain America: Brave New World.

Not to take anything away from how good f4 was.... But most people went to the theatres because they knew doom would appear in the end credits
Had it been the other way (no doom announcement), people might have not wanted to go in the first place given the past few movies that came out in phase 5
Greygor2025-11-20 10:21
Not really, I mean in a perfect world, sure, but it would have leaked before now
Better Marvel releases the info in a form they prefer.
Also at the time they needed some hype.
BetterCommission93012025-11-20 14:46
Marvel can do no wrong in my eyes! Haha DCU is going down!
jddev_2025-11-20 23:14
Knowing RDJ is Doom builds more hype for me. It also sparks a lot of "how will they do it" which is what they want.
ContrarionesMerchant2025-11-21 12:07
The whole point of casting RDJ is for marketing, it would make it even dumber if they don’t use it for marketing.
TheMarvelMunchkin2025-11-21 13:45
I would have loved if we just got a glimpse of Doom at the end credits of F4, but we don’t get to see who’s playing him
RDJ name is not on the main poster and they did the whole “he’s back for a dream sequence/cameo” and then the big reveal is in Doomsday - imagine that reveal! - yes I would have loved it!
But we all know RDJ coming back as Doom is part of the marketing campaign
