The MCU Hero Most Perfect to Fight Doctor Doom Is the Least Likely to Appear

As a devoted Marvel fan, I can’t help but ponder about the potential reappearance of a specific MCU character that could significantly ease the impending battle in “Avengers: Doomsday.” However, it seems highly improbable she’ll make an appearance. Despite the film’s recent delay from its initial May 2026 release to December 18, 2026, production appears to be progressing well thus far. With a cast of over 20 characters already confirmed, we can anticipate more names to be unveiled soon, aiming to assemble the largest Avengers team ever assembled.

Despite needing all their heaviest hitters to tackle Doctor Doom in the upcoming storyline, it’s a pattern seen in previous Avengers movies that they tend to keep their most powerful members on the sidelines during initial battles, instead prolonging the narrative. Characters like Scarlet Witch and Captain Marvel didn’t make their first appearances until later in battles such as Avengers: Infinity War and Endgame, respectively. It seems likely that one of the MCU’s strongest characters will experience a similar delay, albeit under unique circumstances.

Avengers: Doomsday Is Set To Pit A Lot Of Powerful MCU Heroes Against Doctor Doom

Heroes From Various Teams Have Already Been Confirmed

In the initial plan for the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Multiverse Saga, Kang the Conqueror was intended as the main antagonist. However, due to a change in direction from the studio, Doctor Doom stepped into that role instead. With Marvel star Robert Downey Jr. taking on the character, we can expect an intriguing portrayal. Downey Jr. has hinted at a nuanced interpretation of the villain. To confront such a formidable foe, the MCU has gathered a formidable team of heroes from its universe, including some unexpected additions.

To date, it’s been verified that characters from teams such as the Thunderbolts, Fantastic Four, and X-Men will join forces with the Avengers in “Doomsday”. As for the Avengers themselves, they appear to be led by seasoned heroes like Thor, Captain America, and Ant-Man, alongside fresh faces like Shang-Chi and a new Black Panther (represented by Shuri). The current lineup boasts a diverse roster of characters with an array of abilities, and the studio has hinted at further cast announcements to come.

One Of The MCU Heroes Who Could Have Stood The Best Chance Against Doctor Doom Also Seems The Least Likely To Appear In The Fight Against Him

G’iah Is An Interesting But Overpowered Character

In my opinion, should a battle against Doctor Doom arise, there’s one MCU character who could prove invaluable, yet her chances of making an appearance seem slim. Despite the much-anticipated premiere of “Secret Invasion” on Disney+ in 2023, its lackluster writing, uneven pace, and subpar visual effects left viewers disappointed. A common complaint among fans centered around the introduction of a brand new character. Emilia Clarke portrayed G’iah, a Skrull refugee and Talos’s daughter. Towards the conclusion of the series, G’iah chose to consume the Harvest serum, transforming herself into a Super-Skrull.

One potential rephrasing for your text is:

The main issue with G’iah lies in her overwhelming power. The Harvest contains genetic material from various Marvel Cinatic Universe (MCU) characters, enabling G’iah to utilize any of them – ranging from Captain Marvel to Thanos. Given the negative response to Secret Invasion, the MCU might be cautiously addressing the power disparity that G’iah embodies. Her Super-Skrull abilities would offer the Avengers their best opportunity against Doctor Doom; however, engaging her in battle with a multitude of other heroes’ powers could exacerbate the criticism leveled against her.

Avengers: Secret Wars Could Offer A Chance For G’iah To Fight Doctor Doom, But I Think Another Scenario Is More Likely

The MCU Has A Chance To Retcon Her Powers

Despite the studio currently avoiding any direct connections to the “Secret Invasion” plot for now, there’s still a chance that the character G’iah could reappear in the future. In an unexpected twist, Clarke might be among the actors joining the cast of “Doomsday” in its second round of announcements. However, given the improbability of this scenario, it’s more likely that G’iah will return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe through the storylines established by “Doomsday” and “Secret Wars”.

As a die-hard movie fan, one intriguing speculation surrounding “Secret Wars” is that a significant portion of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) could be rewritten or even wiped out, paving the way for a potential soft reboot. This scenario opens up an interesting opportunity for the creators to logically reinvent characters like G’iah, who might have been erased in this new timeline.

Although it seems unlikely that G’iah will be retconned anytime soon, I can’t help but hope that the MCU finds a clever way to reintroduce her with updated powers, possibly even in a future film like “Avengers: Doomsday,” although it may not be the ideal moment just yet.
