A new Avengers: Doomsday rumor teases a “brutal” murder scene involving Doctor Doom. According to a notable scooper, the scene could be uncomfortable for viewers. If true, the scene would further establish Doctor Doom as a ruthless villain for the Marvel heroes to face.
Marvel Insider James Mack posted on X, “Sensitive people are going to be uncomfortable with the way DOOM kills a specific CHILD in Avengers Doomsday. It’s brutal.”
Although the alleged scene remains unconfirmed, several fans in the post’s comments speculated that the child could be Franklin Richards, who was introduced in Fantastic Four: The First Steps. One of them, @onyxholocron501, commented, “Idk that Disney is gonna kill a 9-year-old kid on screen. Let alone brutally lol.”
Some fans have also speculated that the child could be an offspring of Steve Rogers and Peggy Carter. This theory could actually be true, as Chris Evans has made recent comments about the emotional and physical challenges his character faces in the upcoming Avengers movie.
What does the new Avengers: Doomsday rumor mean for the MCU movie’s plot?
If these rumors turn out to be true, the Avengers and their allies would face a deeply personal threat in the upcoming movie. The Marvel Cinematic Universe has introduced powerful villains before, most notably Thanos. However, Doctor Doom’s actions could lead to deeper scars and major losses than ever before, driving the movie’s plot.
That said, this is only a rumor and should be treated as such until Marvel confirms the details or the release of Avengers: Doomsday. What is officially known is that Doom will pose a major threat as the story brings characters from across the multiverse together.
The cast also includes Robert Downey Jr., Chris Hemsworth, Florence Pugh, Vanessa Kirby, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Wyatt Russell, Channing Tatum, Simu Liu, Ian McKellen, Tom Hiddleston, James Marsden, and others.
Avengers: Doomsday is slated to release in theaters on December 18, 2027. The events of the film will continue in Avengers: Secret Wars, slated to release on December 17, 2027.
