Steve Rogers Reportedly Teams Up With Doctor Doom in AVENGERS: DOOMSDAY
Things are getting weird in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and that’s a good thing. A new rumor surrounding Avengers: Doomsday is making the rounds, and if it turns out to be true, Steve Rogers is stepping into one of the most unexpected team-ups we’ve seen yet.
Multiversal chaos, cosmic warnings, and Doctor Doom sitting at the same table as Earth’s heroes is a wild setup, and as you might expect, fans are eating it up.
With the film still about 11 months away, Marvel has been playing things close to the chest. That hasn’t stopped the hype from growing, especially after four character-focused teasers surfaced online following their theatrical runs. Those teases opened the door, and now a new story rumor may have kicked it wide open.
According to scooper MyTimetoShineHello, the heart of Avengers: Doomsday revolves around incursions threatening entire realities.
The rumor claims that Doctor Doom reaches out to the Fantastic Four for help dealing with these multiversal collisions. From there, things escalate quickly. Doom, the Fantastic Four, and Steve Rogers reportedly travel together to the main MCU timeline to warn its heroes about what’s coming.
The post reads: “In Avengers: Doomsday, Victor asks the Fantastic Four for help with the Incursions. They travel together with Steve Rogers to the MCU in their ship to warn everyone, then join forces to head to the X-Men universe – the source of the next Incursion that will destroy their Earths. They have a plan to fix everything.”
If that setup is true, Steve Rogers is acting as the connective tissue between universes, standing shoulder to shoulder with Doctor Doom of all people. The idea of Cap working alongside Marvel’s most infamous ruler is the kind of strange pairing that feels perfectly suited for a multiverse story done right.
Of course, it’s worth stressing that this is still just a rumor. Marvel Studios hasn’t confirmed any of these details, and fans won’t know what’s real until the lights go down and the movie starts rolling. Still, the concept is enough to keep fans talking.
Other rumors are piling on as well. One suggests that Thor will already be with Rogers and Doom aboard the Fantastic Four’s ship before it even reaches the MCU.
Another claims Doom won’t be operating solo, instead backed by multiple masked allies made up of both men and women. If true, that paints a picture of Doom as a full-on power player rather than a lone threat.
What we do know for sure is that Avengers: Doomsday is goiing to be massive. The film hits theaters on December 18 and features a cast packed with MCU regulars, newcomers, and more.
Whether this rumored storyline pans out or not, it would be interesting to see Steve Rogers leading a multiversal alliance that includes Doctor Doom. If Avengers: Doomsday delivers on even half of this chaos, we’re in for something seriously exciting.
