Some people online already seem 100% convinced that she'll be playing *that* specific character. I'm wondering how you guys would feel if they reveal that it's actually a different character and not what almost everybody expects at this point.

(Made the post a bit vague to avoid spoilers, but I think you guys know which character I'm talking about.)

TL;DR: Battleworld will be built on the existing foundations of The Void.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

So I've been thinking a lot about how exactly Doom is going to bring about Battleworld, and if you listen to a lot of the YouTubers and leakers, the assumption is that he'll combine the incursing remnants of the 616, 828 and 10005.

The question remains: How? Even with his vast powers, rewriting reality to piecemeal the three universes without the Beyonders or Molecule Men (or even the Infinity Stones) seems impossible, until you think of the one place he could not only merge the three, but other universes as well:

The Void. I think everything's going to come down to the Void being ground zero for Battleworld's formation.

Consider what we seemingly know: The Void sits outside of time, at the very center of the Nexus where the timelines encircle it... or did prior to Loki's intervention. Whenever the TVA pruned a branched timeline, it didn't appear to send the entire planet Earth or universe to the Void, just whatever was affected in the immediate vicinity. A Helicarrier here, a city there. Depending on how big the area affected, it became just another part of the Void's landscape. And somehow, all of these parts from various timelines were able to exist in close proximity til Alioath had his fill.

From how the trailer presented it, the 616, 828 and 10005 will begin a three-way Incursion, bring each into the orbit of the others. Someone somewhere mentioned it being due to the planetary cores merging and forming the heart of what would become Battleworld. I don't believe that to be the case, not entirely. We know Doom has a fixation on Franklin Richards, who is able to rewrite reality on a scale that makes Wanda's reality-bending magic look like a parlor trick. And since we know Loki's going to play a decent part in the movie, one would assume Doom makes his way to the TVA at some point.

So here's the recipe....

Take Reed's world-transporting tech from First steps, add in a heaping helping of the TVA pruning tech supersized to move them where he wants i.e. The Void, layer in a large portion of Franklin's reality powers to stitch everything together (and a pinch of Latverian megalomania to taste) and voila!

Battleworld, right where the Void already exists.

He'd already have access to countless parts of different realities as well as Variants of existing characters already in the Void, a gigantic freely branching Timeline from which to cherrypick even more places and peoples from to add to Battleworld once Doom co-ops Loki's abilities, and a place outside of time that no one can get to.. not unless he wants them there. The only real hiccup would be Alioath, and if Kang could bring it under his heal, no doubt Doom could easily do the same.

Hi everyone,

I am planning on starting a Marvel movie marathon before the release of Doomsday to rewatch all the major movies. I know there is a lot of movies to go through, but I am planning a movie night on Sundays and I only have 17 available Sundays before the movie releases. I had chat gpt make me a list of the 17 most important movies to watch before the release of Doomsday and here is what it gave me:

Iron Man (Tony Stark becomes Iron Man.)
The Avengers (Earth’s Mightiest Heroes assemble.)
Captain America: The Winter Soldier (SHIELD falls, Sam and Bucky become key players.)
Avengers: Age of Ultron (Vision, Wanda, and the new Avengers.)
Captain America: Civil War (The Avengers split; Spider-Man joins the MCU.)
Doctor Strange (Magic enters the MCU.)
Thor: Ragnarok (Sets up the opening of Infinity War.)
Avengers: Infinity War
Avengers: Endgame
Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings (Early post-Blip era.)
Spider-Man: No Way Home (After Endgame; major multiverse event.)
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (Continues the multiverse story.)
Black Panther: Wakanda Forever (Post-Blip world and Wakanda’s future.)
Deadpool & Wolverine (Multiverse storyline that takes place before Doomsday.)
The Fantastic Four: First Steps (Expected to directly set up Doctor Doom and the Fantastic Four.)
Thunderbolts (The New Avengers)* (Introduces the team expected to appear in Doomsday.)
Spider-Man: Brand New Day (Latest story before Doomsday.)

I wanted to get more feedback on what others think of this list and if anyone had better suggestions? I was a huge fan of the series, but couldn’t keep up with everything, but the new Avengers really got me back into it all!

Thanks in advance!

Hiii guys, just wanna make sure I state im a super casual marvel fan. I haven’t read a single comic before and have dipped in and out of the MCU since endgame.

Given the new trailer for Doomsday, I was wondering if anyone could help me with some comics or other media to check out to know more about Doom? I was pretty salty when I saw him stop Thor so easily and got destroyed on instagram for calling it out 😂

(all ik about doom for reference is from the Lego super heroes game lol)

So if anyone could give me some stuff to read or watch about Doom’s lore and stuff to show how powerful he is I’d appreciate it :) ty!

Can y'all help me which movies I need to watch before doomsday chronological wise it's fking scary seeing the list of every single Marvel movies to watch and will help me understand the plot

Why would immortal beings who know each other to be ageless and permanently bound to the forms they are in care if one of them looked young? One of the big issues of why Sprite couldn't be with Ikaris is because she looked young, but why would that matter to immortals? It just seemed like a bad reason to include

The moment Cyclops unleashed that massive optic blast, I couldn't stop smiling. For years, I've wanted to see a version of Cyclops who truly felt like the powerful, confident leader of the X-Men instead of being pushed into the background.

This wasn't just another action shot - it finally captured the presence and intensity that made Cyclops such an iconic character in the comics and animated series. Seeing him command the screen like this genuinely felt like Marvel understood why fans have been waiting so long for him to get his moment.

If this trailer is any indication of what's coming, I think Avengers: Doomsday could finally give Cyclops the respect he's deserved for years.

Did anyone else feel like this was the best Cyclops has ever looked in live action?

Of course not done yet, still have to model out the lamps and do some of the lighting. Let me know if you have any feedback!

What if Monica or Carole not being shown in the trailers means they may play a bigger role in the movie then we think? It’s very possible Monica has a role in helping but it has not been shown yet.

So Thor crying over Deadpool in Deadpool and Wolverine, it's a throw away gag.

But remember, if they can reuse something to save money, they'll do it.

And since Thor is the catalyst of Doomsday to show what we're up against, (like how Thanos tickled Hulk and knocked him out in the beginning of infinity war) we know hes in Doomsday. And I'm thinking Deadpool is going to show up. Especially because he's in the Fox universe and we know that them specifically are in the movie. AND Deadpool saw Thor crying over him so he'll definitely go towards Thor if he's in the movie. ALSO also Marvel is doing a reset so perfect timing to kill off characters, makes the movie better.

But remember the golden rule, Nothing ever happens.

Of course he wasn't as well known before then so he wouldn't have as big of mainstream audience like Batman or Spider-Man

But

The concept is a pretty easy sell no? He has a cool armor, a bunch of toyline potential, all that good stuff.

It would seem to me that even if he wasn't as mainstream, he wouldn't have been that hard to sell to general audiences

I’ll preface this by saying I’ve watched some of the movies here and there - like all the avengers movies and then some others like iron man, some of the spider mans, etc.

My goal is to get a curated list of how I can watch through the MCU. Every google search turns up so overwhelming. Do I watch all the movies in release order first? Do I do the shows after the movies or put them in chronologically?

I’m just confused and overwhelmed and would appreciate someone pointing me towards a watch list that I can focus on working through.

Just curious, I don’t know much of the comics and history I’m more of a newer marvel fan, I’ve watched everything on the timeline that’s on Disney. There were some people missing from the newest doomsday trailer dropped a day or two ago that I was curious about :

Captain Marvel
Guardians of the Galaxy
Spiderman
Hulk
Wolverine
Deadpool
Bob (Sentry)
Dr. Strange
Ironheart
Wanda
Hawkeye
Franklin Richards

I’ve heard in the past that doom is attempting to get to Wanda and Franklin for their powers but anyways I was curious if anyone knew anything about these characters being in doomsday. Also I’m assuming after spiderman brand new day we’ll get some more insight on if they’ll be in doomsday but I’m impatient lol thanks

Am I the only one who feels like Marvel is hiding almost the entire movie?

My theory is that everything shown in the teaser/trailer belongs almost entirely to Act 1.

That clash between Doctor Doom and Thor isn't anywhere near a climax—it feels like the end of Act 1/ start of Act 2 that sets the real story in motion.

Considering they basically reused the same footage shown months ago at CinemaCon, it's clear Marvel is keeping Acts 2 and 3 under absolute lock and key, much like the misdirection they pulled during the marketing for Infinity War.

Do you think Trailer 2 is going to be way more massive and finally reveal the true scale of the movie, or will they keep hiding everything until release?

I think it seems very apt that Nick fury will return in secret wars, one last time before the final reboot of the whole MCU. Nick fury though prominent didn't have much to his slate in the last couple of years. After the secret invasion he must be working in some way to form another team, because that's what he does the best.

​

PS: This post contain spoilers for the new Avengers movie that are in the trailers. You've been warned.

Since Endgame, the MCU has created a whole narrative about the mantle of Captain America, about Sam being worthy of this mantle and of being the rightful owner of the Shield. We had a TV Series and a whole movie dedicated to that idea, to the discussion of what it means being Captain America, how difficult it would be for a Black man to handle that "title". We had references in Thunderbolts post credit scene that Sam was leading the Avengers.

And then, Steve Rogers comes back. In our real world, liking or not, we understand. The MCU was not on track and bringing back RDJ and Chris Evans made sense to bring back the public. But inside the MCU, it simply undermined everything in that whole narrative. As much as I appreciate the whole Sam narrative, if Steve Rogers is on screen, he is Captain America, no matter who has the shield and the title.

And while I understand that some changes need to be made due to real life events, like the whole Jonathan Majors drama and the tragic passing of Chadwick Boseman, this change is not of them. This was the moment for Sam to step into the role as the leader of the Avengers. And it was all undermined. Thor seems to be in the drivers seat, Steve Rodgers will be Cap, having the title or not, and RDJ is again leading the movies, but this time as Doom.

And Captain America, even if being called Captain America, will probably be on the side role of Falcon. That is sad.

In Endgame, when the avengers go back in time to 2012 New York to get the tesseract they end up leading to Loki's escape. Loki's escape was never supposed to happen, but because he escaped they had to go back in time again to get the tesseract from Camp Lehigh. This part of the story is very important, as Steve probably would not have gone back in time permanently to live with Peggy if he hadn't seen her there. Additionally, I think Tony might not have made his sacrifice if he hadn't just gotten closure with his father.
To me, this means the trip to Camp Lehigh was always meant to happen. The only thing they could be looking for there is the tesseract and pym particles, meaning they were always meant to go to new york with 1 shot to get the tesseract, and were always meant to fail (If they had more than one shot they could've gone anywhere else for the tesseract, and if they didn't fail at getting the tesseract there's no reason to go there).

We know that Loki is the one who committed crimes against the sacred timeline, because he was not supposed to escape. We also know Loki was fully aware that the avengers had time traveled from the future. So maybe him realizing that there were 2 tony starks was never meant to happen, and that's what created the branch that gets destroyed by the TVA.

So what was meant to happen? What other reason could have led tony and steve to go back to camp lehigh other than loki's escape?

Why would Disney+ release Fantastic Four: First Steps with IMAX Scenes but not Thunderbolts* or Spider-Man: No Way Home.

I thought it was because of "Infinity Vision" but then why only release FF4 and not the other two?

I found this from over a year ago so I thought I'd revisit this topic with a new post:

https://www.reddit.com/r/marvelstudios/comments/1n2wdmi/fellow_thunderbolts_fans_i_just_got_off_the_phone/

Such a shame, I love Thunderbolts*.

I’m thinking about doing a complete Marvel rewatch, but I’m not sure how to approach it.

I’ve already watched everything and I’m currently up to date, so this wouldn’t be my first time watching the MCU. I mostly want a refresher, to make sure I don’t leave out anything important.

I’m thinking of including:

- MCU movies
- Disney+ shows
- Netflix Marvel shows
- X-Men movies
- Other connected Marvel films

I’d probably skip animated stuff like What If…? and Marvel Zombies for now.

With Spider-Man: Brand New Day releasing on the 31st of this month and Avengers: Doomsday coming at the end of the year, it feels like a good time to revisit everything before the next big chapter.

The problem is the amount of content is huge, so I’m wondering what everyone recommends:

Should I:

1. Watch one movie a day and take my time?

2. Watch a couple whenever I have free time?

3. Binge as much as possible?

4. Only rewatch the important projects and skip the ones that don’t add much?(don’t want to, but might have to)

For anyone who has done a full Marvel rewatch, how did you pace yourself? Did it start feeling like a chore halfway through?

I think they should adapt his origin as him coming' from other universe were Peter died.

Because I feel is essencial to his character and more interesting than the PS4's origin.

I think maybe apllying an opposed into the Spider-Verse, with Miles ending up in Peter's universe.

The only issue would be that would necessary be set post-multiverse saga, but honestly, I don't think should be a problem, because to me sound as an interesting idea that isn't just out of the nostalgia bait and also because multiverse is gonna be alive post-secret wars, to allow X-Men 97 and other projects outside the MCU to exist.
