Avengers: Doomsday May Secretly Be Setting Up Epic Avengers vs. X-Men Battle

by

The speculation among Marvel enthusiasts centers around the lineup for the upcoming MCU film “Avengers: Doomsday“, following the sequential unveiling of a number of its prominent actors in a video featuring chairs with their names on the back. As anticipated, stars like Anthony Mackie, Chris Hemsworth, and Paul Rudd made an appearance, yet there were also some unexpected additions that have left fans intrigued…

In addition to characters like Captain America and Thor, a number of actors from the initial X-Men universe portrayed in Fox’s X-Men films will reappear in the Avengers film. This ensemble features Patrick Stewart as Charles Xavier, Ian McKellen as Magneto, Kelsey Grammer as Beast, Alan Cumming as Nightcrawler, Rebecca Romijn as Mystique, and James Marsden as Cyclops. With these characters joining the mix, some viewers speculate that instead of an adaptation of a Doctor Doom storyline, Avengers: Doomsday might actually be more about a confrontation between the Avengers and the X-Men, or in other words, an Avengers vs. X-Men movie.

User @ViewerAnon implies that the movie resembles “The Avengers versus the X-Men,” with Victor Von Doom orchestrating events behind the scenes. Meanwhile, @MrHaHaFunnyMan2 suggests that Marvel could have handled the project differently, proposing that instead of incorporating Doctor Doom as a puppeteer, they should have focused on an actual “Avengers versus X-Men” conflict in the movie itself, saving the introduction of Doctor Doom for a surprising appearance later.

Would ‘Avengers vs. X-Men’ Created Even More Buzz?

It’s not entirely unexpected to see some X-Men from the 20th Century Fox franchise making an appearance, but the quantity is certainly surprising. Notably absent are key characters like Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine and Halle Berry’s Storm, who are rumored to be joining later. This suggests that the X-Men will have a significant role in “Doomsday”. The anticipated confrontation between The Avengers and The X-Men, reminiscent of the 2012 comic book arc “Avengers vs. X-Men”, is now widely believed to form the crux of the storyline in the upcoming MCU film.

Doomsday,” as it generates more excitement. Some people question if another crossover is necessary for originality in storytelling, but many are eagerly anticipating this clash on the big screen. @SoloAuthority expresses immense enthusiasm, stating that if they had known in 2018 about a plot involving the merging of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and X-Men universes with Doctor Doom as the main antagonist, they would have been overjoyed to the point of excitement. @AndreSaintAlbin is also nearly bursting with anticipation, exclaiming that an “X-MEN vs AVENGERS” movie is on its way!

@captaincupkicks” believes it’s shaping up that Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) Avengers and Fox’s X-Men are on a collision course, an idea he finds intriguing if executed well. On the other hand, “@Lietdansnewlegs” predicts this is merely the start, suggesting that eventually, the MCU will intersect not only with Fox’s X-Men but also the Sony Universe, potentially culminating in Avengers: Secret Wars.

Under the direction of the Russo brothers, who previously worked on Avengers: Endgame, and written by Michael Waldron and Stephen McFeely, the upcoming film titled Avengers: Doomsday boasts an impressive ensemble cast. As of now, the confirmed actors are Chris Hemsworth, Vanessa Kirby, Anthony Mackie, Sebastian Stan, Letitia Wright, Paul Rudd, Wyatt Russell, Tenoch Huerta Mejía, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Simu Liu, Florence Pugh, Kelsey Grammer, Lewis Pullman, Danny Ramirez, Joseph Quinn, David Harbour, Winston Duke, Hannah John-Kamen, Tom Hiddleston, Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen, Alan Cumming, Rebecca Romijn, James Marsden, Channing Tatum, Pedro Pascal, and Robert Downey Jr. The movie is set to hit theaters on May 1, 2026.
