Kevin Feige Confirms Earth-616’s Avengers Will Step Into the Baxter Building in AVENGERS: DOOMSDAY
With The Fantastic Four: First Steps hitting theaters this week, we now know this won’t be the last time we visit Earth-828. Despite theories suggesting the team's world might be destroyed after that Thunderbolts* post-credit scene, it sounds like their reality is sticking around, at least for a while.
So, what happens when Earth’s Mightiest Heroes make their way into Marvel’s First Family’s home turf? According to Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige, that’s exactly what’s coming in Avengers: Doomsday.
Talking to ComicBook., Feige teased the impact of Incursions, something comic book readers know well, and dropped an exciting reveal:
"Only speaking to the one we’re working on now, shooting now, for people who know the comics and know the word Incursions, those are universes coming together.
“We will see this world that we’ve introduced [in The Fantastic Four: First Steps]. We’re shooting on all the same sets that we built for Fantastic Four, and it is very fun."
That’s right, the Avengers are heading straight to the iconic Baxter Building. Feige even hinted at a big team-up scene:
"I would say the now iconic Baxter Building living room and kitchen where we saw the Four get to know each other in this movie, let’s say there are a lot more people in that kitchen in Avengers, and it’s fun to literally see people coming into each other’s homes, which is pretty awesome."
This tease has fun implications for the future of the Multiverse Saga. Incursions were first mentioned in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, and they’re likely the reason why the Avengers, Fantastic Four, and eventually the X-Men will all cross paths.
Feige also spoke about the upcoming Avengers: Secret Wars, making it clear this will be more than just another massive event movie—it could reshape the entire MCU timeline:
"Unlike Endgame, which really wasn’t ended, and then we go, where do we go from here? What do we do with this level of success and this level of finality? And we used it to experiment and we used it to evolve and we used it to expand, too much," Feige explained. "Secret Wars, as in the comics, is as much about bringing certain storylines to a close as it is launching a new one."
Avengers: Doomsday hits theaters December 18, 2026, followed by Avengers: Secret Wars on December 17, 2027.
