2023 is a pivotal year for the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Marvel’s trajectory is destined for Kang the Conqueror to become the next Thanos-level villain.
Jonathan Majors Playing Kang for the first time in the series Loki 2021, then appear in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantummania 2023. Avengers: Kang Dynasty 2026, but is now known as Avengers: Doomsday.
Marvel took a different path a year ago when Majors was released from his Marvel contract over domestic violence charges, including the Iron Man actor Robert Downey Jr. Return to play the evil Dr. Doom.
While fans are excited to see how this all plays out, there are still a lot of questions about what will happen between now and then.
While we wait for confirmation or for the next few movies to come out, we do have some spoiler rumors to consider.
According to Cosmic Circus’ Alex Perez (via CBM), the plan is still on Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars. However, it won’t be centered around Kang, but instead will revolve around other heroes and villains from the multiverse.
At least four of the Anchor Beings will appear in these movies, and he elaborated on past claims that there would be some kind of blame game regarding the current state of the multiverse.
“[Avengers: Doomsday] There will be a focus on who is responsible for the current state of the multiverse. Is it Kang? Is it his variant? Is it someone else?
“What I’m hearing is that they’re going to try to pin the blame on Doctor Strange, which is a theme that’s been building for a while.”
He went on to say:
“[The] The idea is for Strange to be the common denominator in an invasion. A large part of these films is Strange’s attempt to reject the idea that; [all] Strange is destined to destroy the universe, making him the one who chooses to save it.
One particularly interesting fact is that the invading Kree were said to want Strange’s help Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness‘ The post-credits scene was caused by the following events: Spider-Man: No Way Home. It looks like the Sting will be more important to the wider multiverse saga than initially expected.
Other tidbits include Moon Knight not having any role in the next installment Avengers The movie, along with Thunderbolts, Young Avengers, and Franklin Richards are all key to the story.
Between this and other recent updates, it seems increasingly likely that Doctor Doom will start “saving” the multiverse, albeit in his typically arrogant, evil way.
Villains making compelling arguments is nothing new to the Marvel Universe, though, as we’ve seen Thanos explore this before.
Avengers: Doomsday Scheduled for release in May 2026 Avengers: Secret Wars Estimated arrival in May 2027.
