Or has he?
I'm the world's leading (and also only) academic expert on Doctor Doom, with a book and a PhD all about him, and I've used my knowledge of every Doctor Doom comic ever to decode all of the Avengers: Doomsday teasers so far.
The Child-catcher

For example, in the 1970 story 'The Son of Doctor Doom!' Doom claimed to have a child of his own, but it soon turned out to be a clone, grown to be a spare body which Doom could transplant his own brain into. A few years later he tried a similar trick by adopting a boy called Kristoff who had a happy childhood right up to the moment he had his mind wiped and replaced with an old recording of Doom's brainwaves, turning him into a living back-up copy.

These two have a terrible past together in the comics, including the time Doom kidnapped Franklin and tried to give him to Mephisto, Marvel's version of the devil, in exchange for freeing his mother's soul from hell. Like most of Doom's schemes, this did not end well.
Mephisto finally made his MCU debut in Ironheart last year, played by Sacha Baron Cohen, so there's a good chance that he'll be appearing in Doomsday as well. With all of this focus on children, particularly the children of superheroes, could Doom be gathering them up to make another deal with the devil?
Across The Multiverse
View oEmbed on the source websiteThe X-Men have an extremely complicated history in both comics and movies, with all sorts of time travel and dimensional shenanigans making it hard to keep track of what's going on without needing a sit down and a cup of tea.
Different parts of the multiverse co-existing in the same physical space like this is exactly what happens in the Marvel comics series Secret Wars. This sees the multiverse being saved from evil pan-dimensional aliens by none other than Doctor Doom, who takes all the coolest bits from the different universes and smushes them together into a single planet called Battleworld.
If that's the case then we'll also see Doctor Doom ruining it all by letting his success as a hero go to his head. If only he'd been happy with saving the multiverse from evil space aliens all would have been well, but instead Doom decides to proclaim himself a god and forces everyone to worship him. As a result he has to be overthrown by a bunch of superheroes who have travelled across dimensions in a spaceship piloted by The Fantastic Four.
The War Between The Land And The Sea
Here we briefly see the FF's spaceship 'The Excelsior' arrive in universe 616, and this continues directly into the fourth and final trailer, which shows us Ben Grimm meeting Shuri and M'Baku from Black Panther as they all get ready for a big fight with a massive Atlantean army.
Doom and Namor have a long history in comics as best frenemies, going all the way back to Doom's second ever appearance in Fantastic Four #6 in 1962. Here the so-called 'diabolical duo' almost succeed in destroying the FF by sending them and their entire Baxter Building headquarters into the depths of space. It only falls apart when Doctor Doom spoils it all again by double-crossing Namor, stranding him in orbit as well.
This was the first in a constant cycle of friendships and betrayals between the two, which was so popular with comics fans that in the 1970s they even had their own series together called Super-Villain Team-Up. It's been rare since then to see Namor without Doom popping by to let him down yet again, and, although they haven't met in the MCU so far, we can be sure that there's a super-villain team-up, followed by a super-villain break-up, coming up in both their futures.
The Numbers Game
The Doom clues to this are at the end of each of the four trailers, which all finish with a clock counting down to the official release of Avengers: Doomsday on 18th December this year. In every trailer the clock glitches, showing a different set of numbers, and the internet has been full of speculation about what it all means.
All of these theories have missed the most obvious answer, which is that the numbers shown relate to their positions on the countdown clock itself. For instance, the '1' is in the same position as the number of months to go, the '24' and '17' is the number of days and so on.
Marvel have traditionally shown at least one trailer at half-time during the Super Bowl, so it's a good bet that this is when we'll finally see the first full-length trailer for Avengers: Doomsday.
Avengers: Doomsday will be released on 18th December 2026.
