Memmingen mayor dons Doctor Doom costume to invite Marvel’s Avengers premiere

The Bavarian city of Memmingen was featured in a Marvel promotional video for the upcoming Avengers film, with the town hall and market square used as the fictional "Doomstadt" backdrop. Mayor Jan Rothenbacher, representing the SPD, appeared in the video dressed as the super‑villain Doctor Doom, humorously inviting Marvel to hold the film’s premiere in Memmingen and stressing the town’s democratic values. The clip was shared on social media, prompting local residents to express pride and excitement about the unexpected cinematic spotlight.

Marvel has not yet confirmed whether it will stage the premiere in the German city, but the mayor’s light‑hearted outreach has drawn attention to Memmingen’s historic architecture and community spirit.
