Since Robert Downey Jr. will be debuting as Doctor Doom inAvengers: Doomsday, the upcoming crossover movie could feature a battle between his newMCUvillain and Tom Holland’s Spider-Man, perhaps with a Venom-themed twist. The relationship betweenDowney Jr.’s Tony Stark and Holland’s Peter Parkerhas been one of the MCU’s most endearing since the latter’s debut in 2016’sCaptain America: Civil War. Stark’s death inAvengers: Endgamehad a huge impact on Peter Parker, and this could be made even worse in the MCU’s Phase 6.
Tom Holland hasn’t yet been confirmed to be returning inAvengers: DoomsdayandSecret Wars, but his return seems likely, given that Spider-Man is one of the MCU’s most notable heroes. This could bring him into conflict with Doctor Doom, who looks exactly like his former mentor, and this battle has been imagined in art shared byJames Gross.
This art imagines a twist for Spider-Man, however, ashe faces Doctor Doom while sporting his Venom Spider-Man suit from Marvel Comics. This enhancement would be amazing to see inMarvel Studios’Avengers: Doomsday.

Why Avengers: Doomsday Is The Perfect Place For Doctor Doom & Venom Spider-Man’s Battle
Returning directing duo the Russo brothers seem to be wanting to adapt Marvel Comics’Secret Warsevents from 1984 and 2015 somewhat faithfully in the MCU’s Phase 6, which means Tom Holland’s Spider-Man will see some huge developments.Spider-Man first gained his black alien costume in 1984’sSecret Wars, which means him acquiring this suit in the live-actionAvengers: DoomsdayorSecret Warswould make a lot of sense. After Tom Hardy’s cameo asEddie Brock inSpider-Man: No Way Home, this is even more likely.

Venom: The Last Dance could finally set up the meeting between Tom Hardy’s Eddie Brock and Tom Holland’s Spider-Man after No Way Home failed to do so.
Ever since Robert Downey Jr. was confirmed to be playingDoctor Doom in the MCUat this year’s SDCC presentation, the idea of him battling Spider-Man has been a hot topic of conversation.It will surely be heartbreaking for Tom Holland’s Peter Parker to face a villain who has the same face as his deceased mentor and friend, Tony Stark. Doctor Doom and Spider-Man have battled several times in Marvel Comics, with Doom’s sheer strength often besting the wall-crawler, so the MCU’s Spider-Man will need some help to take on Doom in Phase 6.
IfAvengers: Secret Warsis based primarily on 2015’sSecret Warsevent from Marvel Comics, then it’s possibleAvengers: Doomsdaycould be inspired by 1984’s story of the same name. This makes the 2026 movie the perfect place forSpider-Man to merge with Venom, who may cross over from Sony’s Spider-Man Universe, or continue his MCU journey afterSpider-Man: No Way Home.This would put an incredible twist on Robert Downey Jr. and Tom Holland’s MCU history, and would surely culminate in an epic and truly cinematic battle.
