We have some more (supposed) Avengers: Doomsday leaked images here, one of which might confirm a recent rumor that the massive MCU event movie will feature the death of a character who has been a vital part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe for many years.
Possible spoilers follow.
Keep in mind that there is a possibility that at least some of these are AI fakes, while others may simply have been enhanced with AI. Since quite a few similar images were dismissed as bogus only to turn out to be legit later on, we figured there's no harm in sharing these on the off chance.
The shots feature more of Wolverine (Hugh Jackman), Spider-Man (Tobey Maguire), and Magneto (Sir Ian McKellen) from what is believed to be Doomsday's opening set piece, along with images of Loki (Tom Hiddleston) and a worse-for-wear Bucky Barnes (Sebastian Stan).
According to a recent plot leak - which is looking more likely to be on the level after the D23 trailer - Bucky's death at the hands of Doctor Doom is the catalyst for the Avengers, Thunderbolts, Fantastic Four and the X-Men putting their differences aside and coming together in an attempt to put an end to the villain's machinations.
Doomsday is rumored to feature a few more casualties (including another "shocking" Doom kill), but Bucky's is said to be the "big one."
Check out the images at the links below.
Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars were hit with significant delays last year, with Doomsday now set to arrive in theaters on December 18, 2026, and Secret Wars positioned for December 17, 2027.
Both movies will be directed by the Russo brothers, who also make their MCU return after helming Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Captain America: Civil War, Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame.
