Recently, Hot Toys officially unveiled its highly realistic 1/6-scale figure of Doctor Doom reading the “Book of God” in Avengers: Doomsday. See it below.

The fearsome Victor Von Doom (Robert Downey Jr.) is the mysterious and enigmatic monarch of Latveria. Behind his impenetrable mask, he is a master of both sorcery and technology.

Doctor Doom will have a magical book in Avengers: Doomsday, referred to as the “Book of God.” Marvel is now introducing a new magical book that could potentially replace the destroyed Darkhold. The Darkhold, also known as the Book of the Damned, played a major role in WandaVision and Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. The Darkhold was based on ancient carvings created by the demon Chthon and was known for corrupting those who used its dark magic. Agatha Harkness and Wanda Maximoff have been among the most prominent users of the Darkhold in the MCU. Wanda ultimately destroyed every copy of the Darkhold across the multiverse in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.

The Book of God could serve as Doctor Doom’s magical counterpart to the Darkhold in Avengers: Doomsday, enhancing his mastery of both sorcery and dark magic.

Directed by Anthony and Joe Russo and written by Stephen McFeely, Avengers: Doomsday stars Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, Pedro Pascal, Paul Rudd, Anthony Mackie, Florence Pugh, Vanessa Kirby, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Wyatt Russell, Channing Tatum, Simu Liu, Ian McKellen, Tom Hiddleston, James Marsden, Patrick Stewart, Joseph Quinn, Sebastian Stan, David Harbour, Letitia Wright, Lewis Pullman, Kelsey Grammer, Danny Ramirez, Winston Duke, Alan Cumming, Wesley Holloway, Hannah John-Kamen, Rebecca Romijn, Alex Livinalli, and Mabel Cadena, with Tenoch Huerta Mejía.

In Avengers: Doomsday, beloved heroes from three distinct universes are set on a deadly collision course, facing an existential threat unlike anything they have ever encountered.

The film is produced by Kevin Feige, Louis D’Esposito, and Jonathan Schwartz, with Callum McDougall serving as executive producer.

Avengers: Doomsday will be released in theaters across the United States on December 18, 2026, and Avengers: Secret Wars is scheduled for release on December 17, 2027.
