A new rumor suggests that a divisive group of characters could be ready to return to the screen in time for Avengers: Doomsday.
What is the latest Avengers: Doomsday rumor?
According to a new Avengers: Doomsday rumor from X user and scooper James Mackwl, an “evil version” of Reed Richards, also known as The Maker, will appear in Doomsday.
The surprising part, the rumor notes, is that Miles Teller will play him. Teller famously played Reed Richards in the 2015 Fantastic Four movie, which was not received well. It’s also unclear if any of the other cast members of the film, including Michael B. Jordan, Kata Mara, and Jamie Bell, will appear in the ensemble movie.
In Marvel Comics history, The Maker is the Ultimate Marvel’s version of Richards, who later turns into the villain after a series of tragedies and trauma is inflicted upon him. It’s unclear exactly how the Maker could appear in the movie, but Doomsday does seem to be dealing, in part, with some multiversal plotlines.
So far, a ton of actors have been confirmed to be a part of Doomsday. These include Chris Hemsworth’s Thor, Pedro Pascal’s Reed Richards, Vanessa Kirby’s Invisible Woman/Sue Storm, Anthony Mackie’s Captain America, Sebastian Stan’s Bucky Barnes/Winter Soldier, Letitia Wright’s Shuri/Black Panther, and Paul Rudd’s Ant-Man.
More names for the upcoming movie include Wyatt Russell’s U.S. Agent/John Walker, Tenoch Huerta’s Namor, Ebon Moss-Bachrach’s The Thing/Ben Grimm, Simu Liu’s Shang-Chi, Florence Pugh’s Yelena Belova, Kelsey Grammer’s Dr. Hank McCoy/Beast, Lewis Pullman’s Bob/Sentry, Danny Ramirez’s Joaquin Torres/Falcon, Joseph Quinn’s Johnny Storm/Human Torch, David Harbour’s Alexei Shostakov / Red Guardian, Winston Duke‘s M’Baku, Hannah John-Kamen‘s Ava Starr/Ghost, and Tom Hiddleston‘s Loki.
Several X-Men characters are also coming back for the upcoming movie, including Patrick Stewart‘s Charles Xavier, Ian McKellen‘s Magneto, Alan Cumming‘s Nightcrawler, Rebecca Romijn‘s Mystique, James Marsden‘s Cyclops, and Channing Tatum‘s Gambit.
