AVENGERS: DOOMSDAY and SECRET WARS Creative Choices Will Reportedly “Make People REALLY Angry”
Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars are shaping up to be the kind of Marvel event films that don’t just aim to entertain but to challenge fans in ways that could spark some serious backlash.
If a new tease making the rounds is even close to accurate, Marvel Studios may be heading straight into territory that splits the fandom right down the middle.
Industry insider Daniel Richtman stirred the pot on X with a vague but eyebrow raising comment about where these two massive Avengers films are headed. It reads a bit like engagement bait, sure, but it’s still interesting.
"I have mixed feelings about the direction they’re taking with Avengers Doomsday/Secret Wars," the insider wrote. "Some of it sounds super epic, but there are certain decisions I don’t want to spoil that I really don’t understand, and I think they’re going to make people REALLY angry."
Getting Marvel fans fired up is nothing new. Most big superhero movies don’t connect with all the fans . Still, taken alongside other rumors we’ve heard, this tease starts to feel a little more loaded.
Reports about Doctor Doom potentially having a wife and child. Talk of Steve Rogers somehow being tied to the Multiverse’s Incursions. Even the possibility of some truly major character deaths.
If all of that holds any truth, the Russo Bros. aren’t playing it safe. They’re swinging hard and they know not everyone is going to love where those punches land.
That’s kind of the fascinating part of all this. These two movies are positioned as the defining chapter of Marvel’s Multiverse Saga. Whatever choices are being made are likely meant to reshape the MCU in a permanent way.
That sort of ambition usually comes with a price, especially when beloved characters and long held fan expectations are involved.
Right now, it’s impossible to say how all of this will actually come together on screen. Rumors can spiral fast, and context matters. A story beat that sounds questionable in isolation can land very differently when it’s part of a bigger narrative.
Until we see the full picture, all we can do is speculate and brace ourselves for a reaction that’s probably going to be loud either way.
Avengers: Doomsday is set to hit theaters on December 18 later this year, with Avengers: Secret Wars following exactly one year later on December 17, 2027. Whether fans walk out thrilled or furious, one thing feels pretty safe to say… Marvel is clearly aiming to make people feel something.
