Reaper finds his twin sister, Dr. Sam Grimm, and escorts her to retrieve the data.

While searching for survivors in the facility, the

Between 1994 and 1995, following the success of ''[[Doom II]]'', Hollywood began gaining interest in producing a live-action film adaptation of ''Doom''. [[Universal Pictures]] initially acquired the rights, which were later obtained by [[Sony Pictures Motion Picture Group|Columbia TriStar]]. Former CEO of [[id Software]] [[Todd Hollenshead]] stated that a number of factors prevented the project from moving forward such as the [[Columbine High School massacre]], lack of producers, and poor scripts. The id Software team screened a presentation of ''[[Doom 3]]'' to agents from Creative Artists Agency (CAA) to see if they were interested in the property.<ref name="Hollenshead Interview 1">{{cite web|url=http://www.tomsgames.com/us/2005/12/03/id_software/|title=Interview with id Software CEO Todd Hollenshead (page one)|website=Tom's Games|access-date=June 25, 2008|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080204020459/http://www.tomsgames.com/us/2005/12/03/id_software/|archive-date=February 4, 2008|first=David|last=Konow|date=December 3, 2005|publisher=Bestofmedia Group|df=mdy-all}}</ref> Producers [[Lorenzo di Bonaventura]] and [[John Wells (filmmaker)|John Wells]] eventually obtained the rights.

In 2021, [[Rosamund Pike]] expressed embarrassment for not familiarizing herself with the source material, commenting, "I feel partly to blame in that respect because I think I failed just through ignorance and innocence to understand, to fully get a picture of what ''Doom'' meant to fans at that point.
