Benedict Cumberbatch’s Comments Suggest Avengers: Doomsday Won’t Completely Set Up Secret Wars

Avengers: Doomsday Likely Won’t Include 1 Huge Marvel Comics Event

in the beginning , I suspected thatAvengers : Doomsdaywould directly set up the events ofAvengers : Secret Wars , the subsequence that is scheduled to premier a yr afterDoomsday’sMay 2026 spillage . This would follow the Russo brothers ' figure that they established withAvengers : Infinity WarandEndgame , but I now think this might not be the case . At theend of 2022’sDoctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness , Strange ’s aid was enlisted by Charlize Theron ’s Clea to handle with an penetration , and this story will surely continue in Strange ’s next appearance - which is not inDoomsday .

Benedict Cumberbatch has revealed that Doctor Strange wo n’t be in Avengers : Doomsday , and I retrieve that ’s the best choice for his current MCU story .

Since a project releasing afterAvengers : Doomsdaywill continueDoctor Strange ’s geographic expedition of incursions , I forecast it ’s unlikely thatDoomsdaywill ending with incursion destroying the multiverse , which straight off precedes Marvel Comics’Secret Warsevent from 2015 . This shit me think thatAvengers : Doomsdaywill tell a story that nobody ’s been expecting , perhaps pose upSecret Warssomewhat , while Strange ’s next appearance will do most of the weighed down lifting . It seemsSecret Warswill need one more crucial movie to be able-bodied to tell a mirthful - accurate and exciting narration .

Doctor Strange 3 Plot Theory Seems Even More Likely Now

Theories About Doctor Strange 3’s Storyline Have Been Rife

Marvel Comics’Time Runs Outsaw Doctor Strange leave the Illuminati and join the Black Priests , fight to stop incursions from ravage the multiverse . This led him into the path of Doctor Doom , and the twosome teamed up to steal the Beyonders ' power and produce Battleworld from the fragments of destroyed universes , direct directly intoSecret Wars .

Doctor Strange 3has been heavily - theorizedto be exploring Jonathan Hickman’sTime Runs Outarc for quite some time , and now that the sequel will apparently be put out immediately prior toAvengers : Secret Wars , this is even more probable . Time Runs Outsaw the heroes of Marvel Comics fighting to block incursions from destroying the multiverse , with many carrying out flagitious acts to preserve their world . This would be a fantastic electric arc to explore for Doctor Strange in the MCU , and adaptingTime Runs OutforDoctor Strange 3opens new doors for the story ofAvengers : Doomsday .

What Story Could Avengers: Doomsday Explore?

Doctor Doom’s Debut Creates Many Opportunities For Marvel Studios

Since I reckon thatDoctor Strange 3will explore theTime Runs Outstoryline , utterly pose the stage forAvengers : Secret Wars , 2026’sDoomsdaywill postulate to adapt a different story from Marvel Comics . Robert Downey Jr. ’s Doctor Doomis set to make his MCU debut inDoomsday , and he is a key figure in theTime Runs OutandSecret Warsstorylines , so his live - action introduction has me very excited . In the months beforeTime run Outin Marvel Comics , a more - controlled penetration shoot place in Latveria , which I think could occur inAvengers : Doomsday .

This smaller incursion was get by the Mapmakers , a group of being who worked for the extradimensional Beyonders . Doctor Doom then set out to findvariants of Molecule Man , all of whom he contrive to kill untimely to bring through the multiverse . This risky venture took several years , and give up Doom to form a religious cult , the Black Swans , with him as " Rabum Alal , " the Great Destroyer . I ’d love to see this story toy out inAvengers : Doomsday , give Doctor Doom the chance to fully acquire his motivation and absolutely sic the stage for him to finally come across Doctor Strange .
