As anticipation builds for “Avengers: Doomsday,” recent revelations have stirred excitement among fans regarding potential storylines and character appearances. Notably, Chris Evans was rumored to appear as Captain America in a post-credits scene of “The Fantastic Four: First Steps,” which was released shortly before the new Avengers film. This cameo was speculated to feature a variant of Steve Rogers from Earth-828, although its inclusion remains unconfirmed.
Post-Credits Scene Details
According to John Rocha from The Hot Mic, Evans was set to reprise his role in a moment that would connect the Fantastic Four and Doctor Doom with Earth’s core heroes. Rocha described the intended scene where Doctor Doom and the Fantastic Four request Steve’s assistance to build trust within the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), specifically in Earth-616.
Storyline Speculation
Rocha theorized that this interaction might not initially position them as adversaries. Instead, they could collaborate due to issues stemming from Steve’s previous actions, ultimately leading to a betrayal from Doom.
Doctor Doom’s Role
Further information shared by Rocha hinted at Doom leading his own group, potentially consisting of witches and wizards. This casts doubts on whether classic characters like Scarlet Witch or Doctor Strange might join the fray. This magic-imbued storyline could add a new layer of complexity to the ongoing narratives in the MCU.
Connections to the Avengers
Jeff Sneider also supported these claims, suggesting Captain America and Peggy Carter might have been relocated to Earth-828 after their timelines were altered in “Avengers: Endgame.” As details emerge, fans are left to piece together how these various plot points will intertwine in “Avengers: Doomsday.”
Upcoming Releases
“Avengers: Doomsday” is set to release on December 18, while “Avengers: Secret Wars” is scheduled for December 17, 2027. Both films are directed by the Russo Brothers, with a screenplay by Stephen McFeely.
