Avengers: Doomsday Rumor Roundup Reports 3 Deaths, Thor’s Team & More

Okay, so I’ve been hearing some seriously wild rumors about the next Avengers movie – supposedly called ‘Doomsday’! Apparently, we’re talking major character deaths, which always gets people talking, right? Plus, it sounds like they’re really leaning into the multiverse stuff, and – get this – Doctor Doom is supposed to be a huge player. Now, Marvel hasn’t said any of this officially, but people in the know are suggesting storylines involving Doom, some of the older heroes passing the torch, and even the TVA from the ‘Loki’ series. It’s all still just whispers for now, but with a release date set for December 18, 2026, things are definitely starting to heat up!

The movie is directed by Anthony and Joe Russo and stars Robert Downey Jr. as Doctor Doom. It begins a two-part story arc called the Multiverse Saga, which will end with the film Avengers: Secret Wars.

Avengers: Doomsday’s latest rumor roundup listed

Opening Battle Ends in Tragedy

@MyTimeToShineHello posted, “Tobey’s Spidey and Hugh’s Wolverine both die at the beginning of Avengers Doomsday.”
Another claim states, “Deadpool and Wolverine are sent to Tobey’s Earth to destroy it,” leading to “an EPIC Tobey’s Spider-Man vs Wolverine fight that ends in tragedy.”

Rumors are circulating about a possible team-up between Spider-Man and Wolverine that involves different universes colliding. However, Alex Perez from The Cosmic Circus has questioned reports of Spider-Man’s death, and Marvel Studios hasn’t confirmed this story.

Doctor Doom Attacks the TVA

The scooper wrote, “In Avengers Doomsday, Doctor Doom kills everyone at the TVA, including Loki.”
Another rumor says Thor and Steve Rogers are on a “side quest to find Loki and the TVA.”

The report focuses on Doctor Doom and Loki while they are at the Time Variance Authority. There’s been no official word about what’s happening at the TVA or what will become of Loki.

Thor and Steve’s Separate Mission

“In Avengers: Doomsday, Steve and Thor are on a side quest to find Loki.”
“Thor and Steve are already on the Fantastic Four’s ship with Doom before it arrives in the MCU.”

The story quickly establishes Thor and Captain America as allies of Doctor Doom. There are also rumors that Doom leads a team of masked assistants, but their identities are currently unknown.

Valhalla Army and Fallen Heroes Return

“In Avengers Doomsday Thor prays to Odin for help, and Odin answers by sending him an army!”
“The army Thor gets from Odin comes to him from Valhalla so get ready to see old characters back.”

Okay, so the mention of Valhalla in the latest film has everyone buzzing about whether we’ll see Jane Foster and Heimdall again. Both characters were shown going to Valhalla in past movies, so it definitely opens up that possibility. However, as of right now, there haven’t been any official announcements about the actors returning, so it’s all just speculation at this point. It’s exciting to think about, though!

Thanos Reportedly Removed

James Mack stated, “I’ve heard that there isn’t a Thanos in Avengers Doomsday anymore, at least not anymore.”
Earlier speculation suggested the character might appear before being cut from the plot.

The discussion revolves around Thanos, the character previously played by Josh Brolin. Marvel Studios hasn’t said whether Thanos was ever intended to be included in the movie’s plot.

Doctor Doom’s Wizard Ally

Daniel Richtman reported Doom’s right-hand man will be a “wizard.”
The character is said to use a “sling ring.”

The details have sparked rumors about a possible connection to Doctor Strange, but there’s been no official word confirming the character’s link to the role. Benedict Cumberbatch has made statements that are unclear about whether or not he’s involved.

Ant-Man’s Admiration for Shang-Chi

“Scott / Ant Man is a huge Shang-Chi fan in Avengers Doomsday.”
No additional context or scene details were provided.

There’s a rumor suggesting a fun and playful interaction between Ant-Man and Shang-Chi. Marvel Studios hasn’t confirmed or denied this report.

Loki’s Limited Role and Young Avengers Setup

Daniel Richtman reported Loki will have a “small” role in the film.
He also suggested Ms. Marvel, Kate Bishop, and Cassie Lang will share scenes to set up the Young Avengers.

Ms. Marvel, Kate Bishop, and Cassie Lang all had appearances hinting at future team-ups in past Marvel movies. However, Marvel Studios hasn’t revealed how big a role they’ll play in the upcoming ‘Doomsday’ project.

Marvel Studios hasn’t confirmed these details yet. The movie is currently planned to hit theaters in the U.S. on December 18, 2026.
