7 Bold Predictions For Avengers: Doomsday (Based On What We Know)

by

As the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Multiverse Saga comes to an end, Avengers: Doomsday is already looking like a pivotal film for the franchise. Currently scheduled for release in December 2026, Doomsday will be the first of two movies concluding the MCU’s latest major storyline. Although details are still limited, fans are already very excited about the upcoming film. The biggest news so far has been the return of Robert Downey Jr., who will play the villain Doctor Doom. Other cast announcements have also generated a lot of buzz, suggesting Doomsday will be one of the biggest Marvel movies to date.

Marvel hasn’t revealed many details about the next Avengers movie, Doomsday, but fans are already buzzing with anticipation. This has sparked a lot of online discussion about the possible plot, returning characters, and who might not make it to the end. Here are some daring predictions for Avengers: Doomsday, based on what’s been revealed so far.

7) Doctor Doom Will Be A Variant Of Tony Stark

The announcement that Robert Downey Jr. is returning to the Marvel Cinematic Universe was a major surprise. But instead of playing Iron Man again, he’ll be taking on the role of Doctor Doom, which has sparked some intriguing fan theories. One popular idea is that Downey Jr.’s Doctor Doom will actually be a different version of Tony Stark, cleverly explaining why the same actor is playing both characters. This makes sense given the storyline, so it’s a fairly believable prediction for how the villain will fit into the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday movie.

6) Star-Lord Will Mentor The Young Avengers

A popular fan theory about the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday suggests Star-Lord will return, not as a fighter, but as a mentor to the Young Avengers. With the Young Avengers expected to play a role in the movie, many believe Star-Lord is a natural fit for guiding them. His retirement to Earth after Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 and his own difficult past make him well-suited to advise this new team of heroes.

5) Thanos Will Team Up With The Avengers

The Marvel Cinematic Universe often brings characters back from the dead, and with the current focus on the Multiverse, it’s likely to happen again in upcoming films like Avengers: Doomsday. A prime candidate for a return is Thanos, who has already appeared in various alternate realities in the What If…? series. It’s entirely possible we’ll see him back in live-action, and surprisingly, he might even team up with the heroes instead of joining Doctor Doom and his villainous crew.

4) Steve Rogers Will Return…

Steve Rogers, also known as Captain America, was a central figure throughout the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Infinity Saga. Though he retired after Avengers: Endgame and hasn’t appeared in the current Multiverse Saga, many fans expect him to return in Avengers: Doomsday. Recent reports indicate that Steve Rogers could be a major hero in the film, strongly suggesting Chris Evans will reprise his role in the MCU.

3) …And He’ll Die

If Steve Rogers, Captain America, were to reappear in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, it probably wouldn’t be a long-term return. While fans would be thrilled, and rumors suggest he might be in Avengers: Doomsday, he’s one of the characters most likely to meet his end in that film. His story already had a satisfying conclusion during the Infinity Saga, so a comeback wouldn’t likely be extended. His death in Doomsday could powerfully motivate the MCU heroes as they head into the final battle of the Multiverse Saga in Avengers: Secret Wars.

2) Doom Will Destroy The Multiverse

Doctor Doom is confirmed to be the big bad guy in Avengers: Doomsday, and Robert Downey Jr. will be playing him. While we don’t know the exact details of his plan yet, there’s talk it will be inspired by the beginning of the Secret Wars storyline, with pieces of The Kang Dynasty mixed in. Some believe his scheme will involve destroying the Multiverse, which could explain Loki’s upcoming return and allow Marvel to streamline its Multiverse narrative as it moves into its next phase.

1) Doctor Strange Will Join Doom

There’s speculation that Doctor Strange might turn out to be a villain in the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday movie. He’s a complicated character in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and he’s previously done things that seemed morally gray, all with the intention of saving the world. This has led fans to believe he could team up with Doom in Doomsday, possibly to limit the destruction of the Multiverse during the events of Secret Wars.
