2023 was a majorly pivotal yr within the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Marvel’s trajectory was set to see Kang the Conqueror be the subsequent Thanos-level villain.
Jonathan Majors first appeared as Kang within the sequence Loki in 2021, after which appeared in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantamania in 2023. He was set as much as play the primary villain in what was Avengers: Kang Dynasty in 2026, however is now generally known as Avengers: Doomsday.
When Majors was launched from his Marvel contract one yr in the past after being discovered responsible of home violence, Marvel took up a special path that features Iron Man actor Robert Downey Jr. returning to play the villainous Physician Doom.
Whereas followers are fairly stoked to see how that pans out, there are lots of questions swirling about what’s going to occur between at times.
Whereas we watch for confirmed information, or for the subsequent a number of movies to be launched, we do have a couple of spoilery rumors to consider.
In line with The Cosmic Circus’ Alex Perez (by way of CBM), the plan remains to be for a Multiversal Warfare to play out in Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars. Nevertheless, as an alternative of Kang being entrance and middle, it can revolve round different heroes and villains from throughout the Multiverse.
At the very least 4 Anchor Beings will issue into these motion pictures and he elaborates on previous claims that there will likely be one thing of a blame recreation with regards to the present state of the Multiverse.
“[Avengers: Doomsday] will deal with who precisely is responsible for the present state of the Multiverse. Was it Kang? Was it his variants? Was it another person?
“What I’m listening to is that they’re going to attempt to shift the blame on Physician Unusual, and it’s a motif that’s been build up for some time now.”
He went on:
“[The] thought is to make Unusual the widespread denominator with regards to incursions. And a very good a part of these movies is Unusual attempting to reject that notion that [all] Stranges are supposed to doom the universe, by making him the one who chooses to put it aside.”
On a very attention-grabbing word, it is stated that the Incursion Clea wished Unusual’s assist with in Physician Unusual within the Multiverse of Insanity‘ post-credits scene was one brought on by the occasions of Spider-Man: No Method House. It appears the stinger held extra significance for the broader Multiverse Saga than first anticipated.
Different minor tidbits embrace Moon Knight not taking part in a job within the subsequent Avengers motion pictures and the Thunderbolts, Younger Avengers, and Franklin Richards all being key to the story.
Between this and different latest updates, it sounds more and more probably that Physician Doom will got down to “save” the Multiverse, albeit in his usually smug, villainous method.
Villains making a compelling argument is nothing new for the MCU, although, because it’s one thing we beforehand noticed explored by means of Thanos, for instance.
Avengers: Doomsday is about to be launched in Might 2026, with Avengers: Secret Wars scheduled to reach in Might 2027.
