Okay, picture this. You are making the fifth Avengers movie. The budget is insane. The stakes are massive. You want to get fans excited without just straight up spoiling the whole thing. What do you do? Easy. You “accidentally” drop some concept art online and let the internet do its thing.
That is exactly what is happening with these Avengers: Doomsday leaks. Trust me, Marvel knows exactly what they are doing. And here are six solid reasons why these leaks are totally intentional.
1. No Takedowns? Suspicious
So a bunch of influencers are out here posting the “leaked” art all over TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube. And get this — one of them, 3C Films, literally showed these leaks in a video. No blur. No censoring. Just the full thing.
Back when Endgame leaks happened, Marvel’s lawyers were on it instantly. They sent warnings and made creators take videos down ASAP.
But this time? Crickets. No copyright strikes. No angry emails. Nothing. It is almost like Marvel wants us to see this stuff.
2. The Artist Is Actually A Marvel Artist
The art itself is signed by Mushk Rizvi, who is not some random fan artist. This guy has worked on official Marvel concept art before. His work is legit.
If you check his Instagram (@mushkrazzdazz), you can see all his past Marvel work. Well, you could. His account is mysteriously deactivated now. Almost like someone does not want him saying anything.
3. Fantastic Four Leaks At The Same Time? Yeah Right
Here is the thing — Fantastic Four and Doctor Doom are a huge deal in the Secret Wars comics. That story is what Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars are based on.
And somehow, just when these Avengers leaks dropped, concept art for Fantastic Four: First Steps magically leaked too? Nah. That is way too convenient.
Marvel is basically telling us, “Hey guys, do not worry. Fantastic Four and Avengers are connected, and we got this.”
4. Sneaky Casting Announcement
Marvel knows fans have opinions about Shuri as Black Panther. A lot of people want T’Challa’s son to take over, with Damson Idris playing him.
But how do you test the waters without making a big awkward announcement? You sneak it into the leaks and see how people react. Smart move.
5. Yes, They Are Following The Comics
Fans have been begging Marvel to stick to the comics when it comes to Emperor God Doom. And boom, these leaks show exactly that.
You got Susan Storm as his wife. You got Doctor Strange as his right-hand guy. They are not even trying to hide the fact that this is straight out of the comics.
6. The Mask Stays On
As soon as RDJ was cast as Doctor Doom, fans got nervous. RDJ is a megastar, and Hollywood loves showing off famous faces. So people thought Doom might barely wear his mask.
But the leaked art? Full mask. Full armor. And no, the armor does not look like Iron Man’s. It is all Doom. This is Marvel telling us, “Relax, Doom’s iconic look is safe.”
Final Thoughts
These are not leaks. This is Marvel’s sneaky way of telling us what they are doing without having to make a big speech about it. After all the mixed feelings about the Multiverse Saga, they know they need fans on their side.
And judging by how excited everyone is online, this strategy is working perfectly.
Student by day, writer by night. If it’s cinematic, I’ll get it right.
I’m a big fan of superheroes, cinemas, science, and history. But most of all, I just love good stories.
