After so much talk about the upcoming appearance of Doomsday in “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice”, it looks like all the excitement might have been for nothing as the character is not actually going to appear in the film. While there is still no official confirmation and the situation remains difficult to sort out, it’s starting to seem more and more likely that the producers have indeed decided to omit his appearance and there might be some other developments in the new film instead.
This is surely a disappointment to many fans who were expecting to see the character, as his supposed appearance was actually talked about quite a lot and there were lots of discussions among fans about how exactly the writers could include him in the story. On the other hand, many people wanted to see the epic showdown that would have surely taken place if Doomsday really was on the screen, but in the end it seems like that will not be happening and the producers have slightly different ideas instead.
The information is still not official – it’s coming from someone claiming to have worked on the film, but of course it’s not very easy to verify a claim like that. The person in question was supposedly one of the 3D artists involved in the production. When he was asked if he worked on the character of Doomsday in any way, he replied that not only has he not, but that the character was actually not even going to make an appearance in the film at al.
The artist did say that he believes that the character will still show up in a later film at some point, but he was confident that this would not be the film in question. The implications of this revelation are interesting, and the fan community seems confused right now. People wanted to see Doomsday in this film and they were getting more and more excited by all the rumors about him, and now this revelation came as a bit of a shock and nobody is sure what to believe anymore.
This also raises an important question – the film still needs a villain, so if Doomsday won’t be filling that role, who will be the main bad guy of the production? There are of course various different options, and the producers could realistically even decide to go with a new character if they wanted to, though of course they would most likely stick to established canon as there is definitely a lot of material in there for them.
Now all fans have left are theories and even more rumors, and of course it’s going to be an even messier situation discussing the possible future progress of the film after this revelation. Many are choosing to ignore the rumors and still believe that Doomsday will actually appear in the film, but the opinions are starting to get more and more divided on that topic.
The producers of the film have been understandably quiet on the issue and they don’t want to reveal any spoilers about the upcoming production, especially one that would reveal one of the most important details of all. The presence of Doomsday is going to play a major role in the film if he’s in there, so obviously they aren’t going to spoil that so easily, whether he’s included in the film or not.
