Doctor Doom Has Surprising MCU Hero as Ally in Avengers: Doomsday, Says New Rumor

by

For more than a year, we’ll be eagerly anticipating the theater release of “Avengers: Doomsday.” This film is poised to introduce Doctor Doom into the Marvel Cinematic Universe and mark the conclusion of Phase Six. With filming ongoing, speculations and potential spoilers about the movie’s storyline are rife online. However, specific details regarding the plot and the allegiances of various Marvel characters remain shrouded in mystery.

As for the X-Men characters set to make their MCU debut, they stand ready to appear in a momentous scene that many fans have longed for since the first X-Men movie. Yet, it’s unclear whether these mutants will fight for good or evil. Doctor Doom is known for manipulating situations and turning allies against one another.

A recent rumor even hints at a classic villain enlisting one of the Avengers to aid in his sinister plan. Proceed with caution, as this section might contain potential spoilers for Avengers: Doomsday.

As reported by Jeff Sneider on “The Hot Mic with John Rocha,” it’s expected that Benedict Cumberbatch’s Doctor Strange will be working alongside Doom in the upcoming storyline. This partnership may not come as a shock to longtime comics enthusiasts, but it could catch MCU fans off guard. The pairing is reminiscent of their shared history in the comics, where Strange discovered Doom’s plot against the Incursions, fought alongside him against the Beyonders, and ultimately served by his side once Battleworld was created. It’s important to note that this doesn’t depict Strange as evil; rather, it portrays him as making a difficult choice between bad options, much like he did in “Avengers: Infinity War.

Will Doctor Strange Ally With Doctor Doom Is Avengers: Doomsday?

For those only acquainted with the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), they might be unaware of Doctor Doom and Doctor Strange’s extensive history, which spans from the classic Marvel Graphic Novel “Doctor Strange and Doctor Doom: Triumph and Torment” to the current “One World Under Doom” storyline where Doom assumes the role of the new Sorcerer Supreme. The question arises whether the genuine Doctor Strange will side with Doom or if this development leads to a variant character. We’ve encountered evil versions of Strange in the Multiverse, as well as those who have been corrupted by both the Darkhold and the Book of Vishanti. There are rumors suggesting that allegedly “malevolent” versions of the Avengers may be assisting Doom, strengthening the case for this alliance scenario.

It would be much more intriguing if this character indeed is Doctor Strange, the Prime one, who has managed something similar to what he did during the battle on Titan. If we consider all the possibilities of incursions and how things can fluctuate, perhaps Doom is an unforeseen factor that draws the good doctor’s attention, which could potentially lead Strange to align with him.

Various other questions arise concerning this rumor, such as Charlize Theron’s current status as Clea. Since her appearance at the end of Multiverse of Madness during the post-credits scene, there hasn’t been any sign of her since discussing incursions. Although it appears she will reappear, the question now is whether she can be relied upon?

If they’re continuing along the path that culminated in the Marvel Comics saga known as “Secret Wars,” things appear grim for Doctor Strange. Should he reach “Secret Wars,” he’ll discover that Doom remains a villain at heart, despite any friendship between them.
