What do you think will be Doom’s motivation?

I’ve been thinking but I can’t really think of a motivation for Doom. I didn’t really grow up on comics so maybe that’s why

I have my own theory that the movie will start with Kangs getting ready to take over the multiverse and Doom is warning the Avengers. Doom helps them defeat Kang but then somewhere along the way decides to fight the Avengers. (Yes I know this theory doesn’t really make sense idc)

What are yalls theories for Doom‘s motivation? Also why the heck does it seem like he is getting ready to kidnap a bunch of kids (Franklin, Love, kids from Xavier’s school?) Collect Power Cosmic for Galactus? Idk.

Doom's motivation is similar to zemo's, no matter what take revenge on heroes for what happened to their family.

Edboy7962026-01-15 14:22

What did any of the avengers do to Doom's family?

WildMongoose62062026-01-15 14:33

In endgame, The time heist missions like in 2012 where loki escapes, 2014 timeline where Thanos,gamora, nebula and his entire army go to 2023 and steve rogers staying back in past, dr strange spell screwup at first half in no way home, loki tv series because of sylvie, dr strange 2 movie because of wanda's actions and lastly Deadpool/ x- men. These actions caused incursions which benefited their own world but it didn't repair the other worlds. So doom's world/family got killed because of these actions.

Edboy7962026-01-15 14:35

Right, but what exactly did any of those do to catch Doom's attention if he's from an entirely different universe?

WildMongoose62062026-01-15 14:43

Well yes, according to me he is from different universe. But there were some theories that he is evil version of tony stark, and that he might be from the 2014 timeline where there isn't thanos. So what do you think do you have any theory of yours to share?

Edboy7962026-01-15 14:55

Got you. So far, he has only been alluded to in the F4 universe in all the movies we've seen.

I can't support the whole theory of he's an evil Stark variant, because it was established he's playing a whole new character, not the same character with a different suit, and I don't see Tony going out of his way to change his whole identity to be a villain for whatever reason.
That comes across to me like easiest conclusion for people to come to just because RDJ was cast and Iron Man and Doom have metal armor. I could be wrong, but I'd love this "is just a Stark variant, bro" to not be a thing. It would give lazy on top of everyone having called the casting decision as desperate to appeal to nostalgia

WildMongoose62062026-01-15 14:59

Facts even I don't think that tony varient is doom. But I feel we might also see rdj play as iron man varient.

Edboy7962026-01-15 15:03

Doom: You took everything from me

Dr Strange: I don't even know who you are

Zealousideal_Mail122026-01-15 14:36

“You will”

redmerchant92026-01-15 14:17

Stop the incursions and save the Multiverse by becoming it's sole ruler.

Party-Doctor-41012026-01-15 14:38

Does that mean he has to kill Loki 🥲

Edboy7962026-01-15 14:42

If Loki is involved, the story goes that way, and Doom knows what he's in for to take Loki's place

TylerHyena2026-01-15 20:34

But then what about Franklin? He’ll have to have some interest in him if the mid credits scene of First Steps was anything to go by.

Edboy7962026-01-15 20:40

That, my friend, is what we shall find out

ThirdEyeGroovin2026-01-15 20:54

Something interesting I heard while listening to comics and people who also love them and review them on YouTube. Franklins power needs the power cosmic to make stuff, he can’t pull stuff out of thin air, he needs the “clay” to form what he needs. With that said I think doom is wanting to save the universe and is going to get another character with the power cosmic to help Franklin create a new multiverse or battleworld or something. It’s interesting in the movie though they mentioned that power cosmic in Fantastic 4. I wonder if that is how thors daughter comes into play because doesn’t she basically holds eternity which is the power cosmic? I’m stoked to see any way they do it

TylerHyena2026-01-15 21:19

That’s actually an interesting theory, but the Doom we’ve seen is from Earth-828 so if he’s trying to save the universe then that would mean there was another threat that the F4 didn’t catch in their own world. Or it could be he noticed that Galactus was wreaking havoc on another universe and he wants to stop him from coming back completely.

IDK but I can’t wait to see it

ThirdEyeGroovin2026-01-15 21:20

Same. So many wild theories and also so many directions they can go with it. I’m just super excited

CaptHayfever2026-01-15 22:41

The power cosmic is pretty much omnipotence; it's described as unlimited cosmic energy. So there's as much "clay" as he wants at any moment.

ThirdEyeGroovin2026-01-16 01:27

In the comments it’s specified that he needs another to make true universes. I can’t remember if it’s his future self or who tells him that it doesn’t work like that. I think it’s the one where as a kid, him and his friend can’t remember the character, literally make insane universes and battles and stuff he creates but they don’t last because he doesn’t have the proper energy, that’s where molecule man and others have stepped in from my understanding. Yes he can create stuff but it collapses and is unstable. That’s what I got from it, and that’s where I believe love will be unless they have another character to put in that spot

GreenGoblinNX2026-01-18 19:23

People really do want to read the whole-ass script years before the movie releases, don't they?

WildMongoose62062026-01-15 15:02

He is definitely after loki because loki is a 2012 varient who escaped with tesseract and even though he saved all timelines in end of s2 still there was a lot of mess done in s1 because of Sylvie.

Party-Doctor-41012026-01-15 15:16

It would be an insane action scene to see Loki struggle to hold onto the branches while also fighting Doom.

Knuxsn2026-01-15 18:25

Hopefully they find another way to deal with that thread because Loki dying yet again will not feel very impactful.

jtfjtf2026-01-16 19:21

I think he’ll capture Loki

SummonerSausage2026-01-15 14:18

He's going after the universes where the heroes have messed with time. They caused incursions that destroyed his timeline, so he's getting revenge, and trying to save his reality, because he's the only one to know the future to know he needs to be around to save it.

DOOM is always right, and needs to rule. even if he doesn't always go about it in the best ways.

Party-Doctor-41012026-01-15 14:39

That makes sense. I’ve been hoping there will be some kind of callback to Days of Future Past.

Edboy7962026-01-15 14:19

Power

imalekai2026-01-15 14:20

That he’s the only one that can steer the ship, Latveria prospers under his rule so the multiverse will too.

Have him despise Reed like in the comics because Reed pokes holes in his theories and plans.

KalelRChase2026-01-15 14:21

Doom is the hero (of his world) in that he understands what’s happening - and is taking action. He’s trying to fix the incursions that will/had destroyed his world/family (caused by Cap and Strange and folks). In order to do that he’ll need a few of the most powerful kids in the multiverse (kids = infinity stones in this one). The thing is when you fix the incursions someone has to decide which world lives. Doom wants to be the sole person making that decision.

The heroes will figure out there is another way… merge them.

Just my opinion on how I’d handle it.

Edboy7962026-01-15 14:25

In the words of MF DOOM "a villain in your land. In his land, a ruler.

This one sounds interesting. How would he catch wind of the multiverse and incursions and take it upon himself to destroy certain ones but not others? (Asking add someone who hasn't read a ton of comics to know)

Party-Doctor-41012026-01-15 14:42

I can’t answer your question but I’m assuming he will have a conversation/confrontation with Loki at some point to learn about the timelines or multiverse. Or maybe we are just supposed to assume Doom was already aware of the multiverse. I mean that would save a lot of time in the movie

Edboy7962026-01-15 14:46

True, it wouldn't take him 99% of the movie to learn what a multiverse is, show up for like 2 seconds of screen time, someone saying "who are you," and him going "I'm Batman, I mean Tony Stark, I mean Robert Downey Jr." And dipping out

Otherwise-Nobody-1272026-01-15 14:22

Saving the multiverse by destroying it and sew some worlds together. Under his rule duh.

rabbitofrevelry2026-01-15 14:27

I assume Doom is collecting powers to change everything, from the cinematic universes we've seen, before and since the beginning of Marvel Studios. Franklin from 828, the Phoenix Force from Fox, the Darkhold from Wundagore, etc. Why, though? To save Latveria from incursions that were started by insolent heroes. And to prove he's better than Reed. He has to one-up Reed's plan to move the world to save them from Galactus.

NamelessGamer_12026-01-15 14:52

I just hope his motivations have nothing to do with kidnapping kids. We already know how lame and cringey that is thanks to Thor Love and Thunder.

EDIT
Doom kidnapping Franklin and only Franklin is fine. But going after all the super children is dumb

Party-Doctor-41012026-01-15 14:56

Yeah I was lowkey hoping that too. Even aside from TLAT, just the concept of a movie being centered around kidnapping kids is very off puttish and I hope to God that is seriously not what they are doing here

BartleBossy2026-01-15 19:27

> We already know how lame and cringey that is thanks to Thor Love and Thunder.

I dont know what youre talking about.

If you ask me, its the best child soldier scene in the MCU.

Plots are best resolved with Deus Ex Machina, as is always said.

ThirdEyeGroovin2026-01-15 20:59

I heard the other day of franklins ability basically needing the “clay” to make stuff which is where molecule man and others came in the past. I wonder if love and Franklin will basically be able to make/remake anything since love has the power cosmic in her

Binder5092026-01-15 15:20

Something to do with hating Reed Richards? That's his whole deal isn't it? Or did he get over that?

BartleBossy2026-01-15 16:06

Introducing a small Yoga-esque character that Disney can sell plushes of

Zaladin032026-01-15 16:30

Realizes that another version of himself's (Tony) life was manipulated by He Who Remains to become Stark instead of the path of Doom (based off of Russo's saying his death in Endgame plays a role}. Will have hatred towards Steve and jealous of others who have kids who got to live out their life with them. Knows incursions are happening and with the fuel of what happened to him, seek to become the ruler of the multiverse.

ChaoticCaptain1772026-01-15 17:13

I'm thinking Doom believes he's the only one capable of saving the multiverse because it's slowly collapsing. So he would need power (most likely from Loki)

MisterGoldiloxx2026-01-15 17:39

"What do you think will be Doom’s motivation?"

Same as RDJ, a cash-grab.

Horror-Watch5982026-01-15 17:54

its all about Reed Richard’s son who goes on to be pivotal for the marvel comic book universe.

Aromatic-Cupcake48022026-01-15 21:01

The heroes are responsible for the destruction of the multiverse and he sees himself as its saviour.

Defiant-Band45732026-01-16 02:24

There is no evidence that he is collecting children. He could be collecting reality warpers like Franklin and Wanda.

Puzzleheaded_Bid44042026-01-16 15:35

Excuse my English, but I'm not a native speaker.
It always struck me that in Doctor Strange: MOM, when Strange meets with the Illuminati, there's an empty chair. I don't remember if they said who was missing, but what if that seat belonged to Doom?
