Is it right??

I saw drama and I had a question
1. A: B! This is your fault and do not do it again
Does it do it again??
Why A say "Does it do it again?" instead, "Are you doing again? Or" Will you do it again?"
What is different between them???

Thank you in advance

jhjhpDoes it do it again??
It sounds like a question about whether some inanimate object (maybe a robot?) is still doing the same thing it was doing before.

Yes it's a robot!
I'm sorry. I had a mistake and my question is why A use present not future tense
Why use "does it do it again?"not "will it do it again?"
(A wants to know the future situation. It will happen or not)

Thank you so much!!!

jhjhpwants to know the future situation
We sometimes use the present tense for future time. It's not very unusual.
Note that 'tense' is the form of the verb, and 'time' is the time period it refers to. They can be different.
