AVENGERS: DOOMSDAY Rumor Reveals Surprising Team Dynamics
The Marvel Cinematic Universe is heading into wild uncharted territory with Avengers: Doomsday, and a new rumor suggests the film could split Earth’s Mightiest Heroes into three separate teams.
There’s been plenty of speculation around Avengers: Doomsday, and while Marvel has given us multiverse-heavy stories throughout the “Multiverse Saga,” the only real setup for this film has come in the post-credits scenes of Thunderbolts and The Fantastic Four: First Steps. Those moments helped establish Robert Downey Jr.’s Doctor Doom as the franchise’s new central villain.
One of the biggest teases came from Thunderbolts, where the New Avengers found themselves clashing with Sam Wilson’s Avengers team over a trademark issue. Now, according to The Cosmic Circus scooper Alex Perez, that conflict won’t be going away anytime soon.
"[The] fate of the entire multiverse hangs in the balance, and two of the main teams have tension with each other because the leaders are still trying to sort out the 'mantle' debacle. And then add the OG to the mix..."
That “OG” mention is what really caught my attention. It seems to suggest a third Avengers lineup could enter the fight, possibly reuniting the original six heroes including Captain America, Iron Man, Thor, Hulk, Black Widow, and Hawkeye.
Trade reports have already claimed Marvel Studios has been working to bring back Chris Evans, Mark Ruffalo, Scarlett Johansson, Chris Hemsworth, and Jeremy Renner alongside Hemsworth for the next Avengers event. Does that mean that Downey Jr.’s Iron Man will be there as well to face off with Downey Jr.’s Doctor Doom? This is something I’ve talked about before.
Of course, it’s still unclear whether this reunion would happen through Multiversal chaos or if Doctor Doom himself might lead his own team of “Avengers.” Either way, the idea of three different groups colliding adds a whole new level of complexity to the already high-stakes showdown.
With multiple Avengers teams, the possible return of the original lineup, and Doom stepping into the spotlight, I can’t wait to see what this movie delivers!
