Marvel unveils new Avengers: Doomsday mural featuring its huge heroic
ensemble and a menacing Doctor Doom but it mistreats one MCU character in
the worst way possible

A new Avengers: Doomsday mural shows off all but one of its giant cast of characters in all of their glory -- Marvel has unveiled a huge new mural for Avengers: Doomsday that features all but one of its sizeable cast.

Shown for the first time at Chinese fan convention Bilibili World in Shanghai last Saturday (July 11), the artwork gives us another look at the highly anticipated movie's heroic ensemble. The image, which was later shared
online by former Marvel Studios Director of Visual Development Andy Park,
also offers a fresh glance at Robert Downey Jr's Doctor Doom.

Predictably, we don't get to see Doom's likely scarred face a reveal Marvel is surely holding back for the film's full release. Nonetheless, his iconic mask, coupled with those piercing, ice blue eyes, indicate that the
Multiverse Saga's primary villain will be an emotionally cold, calculating, and formidable foe for our heroes to overcome.

With San Diego Comic-Con (SDCC) 2026 and, by proxy, this
year's edition of Marvel's oft-anticipated Hall H panel it's little surprise to see the comic giant starting to accelerate its promotional campaign for
the next Avengers film.

What is eyebrow-raising about the Marvel Phase 6 flick's first official artwork, though, is the absence of a specific Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) character. And I'm not talking about heroes who weren't announced as part
of Doomsday 's initial 27-strong cast , such as Spider-Man , Wolverine, Deadpool, or Captain Marvel.

So, who is it? None other than Tenoch Huerta's Namor, aka the ocean-dwelling anti-hero and the MCU's first mutant who was first introduced to MCU fans in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. Namor's absence is
certainly strange, especially as the rest of Doomsday 's original cast reveal is part of this mural. The inclusion of Chris Evans' Steve Rogers, who wasn't part of the movie's initial line-up, but was eventually confirmed to be part of proceedings when Avengers: Doomsday 's first teaser was released last December , makes Namor's non-appearance all the more bizarre, too.

Is this a simple albeit major oversight on Marvel's part not to include him
in this artwork? Or does it indicate that Namor will only have a minor role/cameo to play in Avengers 5 ? With Namor appearing in Avengers: Doomsday's fourth teaser , I seriously doubt it's the latter. That said, I don't
believe Marvel would purposefully cut him from this illustration. Hopefully, someone at Marvel Studios will shed light on this if they're asked about it
at SDCC.
