Avengers: Doomsday First Look Confirms Franklin Richards Role

Collider reports that Marvel's new Funko Pop lineup for Avengers: Doomsday includes a figure called "Doctor Doom with Franklin," offering the first look at Franklin Richards in the MCU. A second figure, "Lord Doom," also appears in the lineup.

Franklin is the son of Reed and Sue Richards of The Fantastic Four. In the comics, his power allows him to reshape reality and bring people back from the dead. Collider notes that Doctor Doom clearly has plans for the young hero.

The Franklin reveal comes as the MCU builds toward Avengers: Doomsday, which follows The Fantastic Four: First Steps. Before that, Marvel will release VisionQuest. The 2026 MCU slate has only two theatrical films, including Spider-Man: Brand New Day, which grossed $2.5 billion globally, per Collider. On the TV side, Daredevil: Born Again and X-Men '97 returned, and Wonder Man was renewed then canceled.

The cast of Avengers: Doomsday includes Robert Downey Jr. as Doctor Doom, Chris Hemsworth as Thor, Chris Evans as Steve Rogers, Anthony Mackie as Captain America, Sebastian Stan as Bucky Barnes, Simu Liu as Shang-Chi, Florence Pugh as Yelena Belova, Lewis Pullman as Sentry, Tom Hiddleston as Loki, Patrick Stewart as Professor X, Ian McKellen as Magneto, and more. Rumor: Collider reports heavy speculation that Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman will return as Deadpool and Wolverine.
