Excitement is mounting with the news that Robert Downey Jr. is rejoining the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), this time playing Doctor Doom instead of Tony Stark.
His appearance promises to shake things up, particularly for Bruce Banner and Spider-Man.
There’s a compelling theory circulating Reddit that suggests Doctor Doom will use a strategy from ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ to try and control the multiverse.
This plan involves a tragic end for Tom Holland’s Spider-Man in the upcoming ‘Avengers: Doomsday.’ The idea is that Spider-Man’s death would trigger the collapse of the Sacred Timeline and, with it, the entire multiverse.
The thought that Spider-Man might be mistaken for Tony Stark by Doctor Doom adds an emotional twist to the plot.
Imagine the confusion and drama leading to such a critical mistake, ending with catastrophic consequences.
This would make Spider-Man the unintended key to destroying the multiverse, paving the way for the climactic events of ‘Avengers: Secret Wars.’
Following the collapse of the multiverse, ‘Avengers: Secret Wars’ is expected to pick up in a realm known as Doom’s Battleworld. The chaos might prompt the characters to scramble for solutions, possibly by finding another Spider-Man or employing characters like Loki to restore balance using magical means.
This storyline suggests a future MCU where the concept of Nexus Beings and Anchor Beings might be discarded. This adjustment would simplify the narrative, allowing Spider-Man’s adventures to continue without the looming question of why he isn’t being protected by the Avengers.
We can expect ‘Avengers: Doomsday’ to leave us hanging with a massive cliffhanger when it releases on May 1, 2026. The follow-up, ‘Avengers: Secret Wars,’ slated for May 7, 2027, might just redefine the MCU by removing complicated plot elements like Nexus and Anchor Beings.
This shake-up could potentially make way for a more straightforward and engaging storyline as the MCU can reintegrate and freshly present more of its characters, thanks to expanded character rights. It’s a thrilling time to be a fan as we anticipate how these blockbuster films will challenge our favorite characters and potentially reset the storytelling landscape.
