In a recent Q&A session hosted by Alex Perez, fans discussed the highly anticipated Marvel projects, “Avengers: Doomsday” and “Secret Wars.” This event, part of the December 2025 Q&A series, featured insights into the future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) and addressed various character arcs.
Insights on Avengers: Doomsday and Secret Wars
Alex Perez assured fans that “Avengers: Doomsday” and “Secret Wars” would not mark the end of the Avengers franchise. Instead, Marvel Studios plans to revitalize the “Avengers” brand post-Secret Wars to maintain momentum in the franchise. The executives recognize the franchise’s immense box office appeal.
He noted that logistical challenges in scheduling over 70 actors lead to lengthy production timelines, prompting a need for more frequent releases. Future Avengers films will include both large-scale team-ups and smaller stories centered around distinct groups.
Upcoming Storylines

- One idea involves a connection to “Judgement Day,” featuring the Eternals and Celestials.
- A newer concept introduces Annihilus and the Annihilation Wave as villains.
Character Highlights

Notable Roles and Cameos

- Hayley Atwell’s Peggy Carter will actively participate in the action of “Doomsday.”
