It was revealed in an interview with PC Gamer that the idea of Doomfist was only for that trailer (Blizzard making things up as they go) but overtime the development team came up with more ideas for the character.
In Numbani, the African city where humans and omnics (robots) live in peace, the threat of Doomfist lingers everyday. We're all familiar with the payload on this map. If you take a close look you're actually delivering Doomfist's gauntlet. After the attempt to steal it from the Overwatch museum it was brought to Numbani for safekeeping. If you look around the city you'll find advertisement for the Doomfist exhibit coming to the Numbani Heritage Museum. On the other side of the city and inside the museum you an see a holographic display of the gauntlet and some info about it. On the other side of the wall we can see the characters who bear the name of Doomfist. There's three of them.
Who is Doomfist? He's a generational character. There's the Savior, the Scourge, and the Successor. The Successor might be the current Doomfist. He might even be omnic too because under his picture is omnic writing. Will Doomfist be the next playable character? In that same PC Gamer article they discussed having Doomfirst as a playable character. There's a good chance that he'd be considered evil and that he might be the leader of Reaper and Widowmaker.
Just the idea of Doomfist is cool. Even in the hands of a child his gauntlet packed a significant punch. Who doesn't want to walk around carrying a gauntlet that can level a skyscraper? It would be great to have more melee characters in the game. Who am I kidding? I just want to sock people in the face.
