AVENGERS: DOOMSDAY Rumor: The Movie's Action Will "Eclipse Everything Else Marvel's Ever Done"

According to a new Avengers: Doomsday rumour, the upcoming movie is going to be extremely heavy on action, and will likely open with a bang (and fans believe it'll be Doom vs. Kang).

The Multiverse Saga hasn't been the disaster some would have you believe. While it's true that Marvel Studios has delivered more than a few critical and commercial disappointments, we've also been treated to some legitimately great movies and TV shows. 

Still, recapturing the magic of the Infinity Saga has been no easy feat for Kevin Feige and company. The hope is that, by enlisting the Russo Brothers for Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars, this era of storytelling will end on a high note.

Given the huge amount of excitement surrounding the four teaser trailers—included below for your viewing pleasure—it does rather feel like Marvel Studios is back on the right track. Now, we have an update from John Campea, which promises to only further increase excitement.

"I have something I haven't told you yet," the YouTuber explained. "What this person indicated to me was the sheer volume of action is going to eclipse everything else Marvel's ever done." 

"People are going to lose their minds. This movie starts with its foot through the floor and shoots you like a cannon out of the gate," Campea continued. "There's no slow start—it's massive action right from the beginning, the scale is insane, and it doesn't let up."

As you might imagine, there's already a huge amount of speculation surrounding what this sequence could be. An Incursion on Doctor Doom's world, perhaps? The battle between the X-Men and Sentinels? Doom wiping out the Council of Kangs in one fell swoop?

We'll have to wait and see. Still, the news that this movie will deliver what sounds like some of the MCU's biggest, craziest action scenes is bound to be welcomed. 

Then again, with the Avengers, X-Men, Fantastic Four, and likely a Spider-Man Variant, all set to share the screen in Avengers: Doomsday, what else could we have expected?




Avengers: Doomsday officially stars Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, Anthony Mackie, Winston Duke, Tom Hiddleston, Sebastian Stan, Letitia Wright, Paul Rudd, and Robert Downey Jr. Wyatt Russell, Simu Liu, Tenoch Huerta Mejia, Mabel Cadena, Florence Pugh, Danny Ramirez, David Harbour, Hannah John-Kamen, Lewis Pullman, and India Rose Hemsworth all make their Avengers franchise debuts.

The Fantastic Four: First Steps leads Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, and Joseph Quinn join them, as do X-Men franchise stars Kelsey Grammer, Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen, Alan Cumming, Rebecca Romijn, James Marsden, with Deadpool & Wolverine star Channing Tatum. The trades have pointed to Ryan Reynolds and Hayley Atwell also appearing in Avengers: Doomsday.

The Russo Brothers direct Avengers: Doomsday from a screenplay by Stephen McFeely, with whom they previously collaborated on the Avengers and Captain America franchises. Loki and Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness's Michael Waldron is also working on the script.

Avengers: Doomsday is set to be released on December 18, with Avengers: Secret Wars scheduled to arrive on December 17, 2027.

John went on to name his personal favorite comic book film openings (X-Men 2 and BvS) and he said this movie eclipses even those. He says "People are gonna lose their minds."

Other quotes from the co=host Robert Meyer Burnett:

"This movie plants a flag"

"Marvel has to be on their best behavior on this one. They have a lot to answer for. They have a lot on the line." He goes on to say to John "I can tell you, and you can too They're not gonna fail"

He continues: "We know for a fact it's not gonna suck"

And then my favorite part from Robert: "I know for a fact that this movie for me will be the equivalent of me having a mountain of cocaine if I was 8 years old It'll have my head spinning. I don't know, but it'll have me feeling damn good"

Now that's a pretty bold... also weird statement. And both John and Robert are prone to hyperbole, but they have been going on and on in recent episodes giving little reactions to bits they have been told on "good" authority

@HelloBoysImBack - I mean, I don't have the info that he has access to. I also can't fault someone for their opinion. I can only go by their word until I see the finished product. But I have been watching John on and off since the AMC Movie talk days. The guy gives a lot of free advice to aspiring filmmakers and content creators. He gives a lot of inside baseball info behind the scenes of how parts of the industry works. Nobody is 100% accurate on everything, but for the most part, I find him to be a solid source.

@DarthOmega - ok, but did John actually see these scenes for himself or is he saying that "he knows for a fact" this will be good based off what somebody told him?

They've said similar crap about almost every movie since Infinity Wars.

The ONLY reason Deadpool & Wolverine was a mega hit... Because of Jackman and Reynolds teaming up as Wolverine and Deadpool. Duh! Otherwise, that movie was as usual lame one liner jokes filled with plotholes that start showing up in rewatch even to a blind crazy diehard Marvel fans who purposely chose to be ignorant about certain things.

@TheOtherOn - every Deadpool movie has had a terrible plot and if it weren’t for the characters would have been sitting comfortably next to the SMU and Green Lantern. Like the first Venom movie there is a love and passion that comes through in the final product but it feels like the directors don’t know how to tell a story using whatever filming techniques they have to use. Venom lost the magic after the first film even if the others had redeeming qualities. Deadpool’s sequels coast on Reynolds ‘sense of humor,’ getting the costumes and characters right. At least Deadpool is the MCU Airplane, Scary Movie, or Hot Shots. I never showed up to D&W and expected Reservoir Dogs but fkr all the hype and resources available the story is dogsht.

@HelloBoysImBack - The movie needs a lot of spectacle, to lure people to theatres. Nostalgia factor isn't enough.

@HelloBoysImBack - You can kiss substance goodbye. The best this movie can do is good action scenes, and I doubt they'll have that

@jasonvoorhees - I'm talking about a decent story something that Deadpool and wolverine never had but infinity war did

@WalletsClosed - they can if they try but recently not so much

thekabsin - 1/20/2026, 9:11 AM
@jasonvoorhees - Yeah, agreed. But I’m reminding myself who we’re talking about. ‘They’ don’t need anything. They can do whatever they want and we don’t know what the Russos are mandated to do/use. The can fk this up and it doesnt matter if Stark, the gay man and his brother, Spidey, and Happy Hogan stand in the way stomping their feet if Disney/Marvel wants what they want. I have faith but there’s a whole lot that needs to be retconned, ignored, and established. Now the Russos are like one of those streamers that takes fast-food and reheats it at home into something fancier.

Honestly , I could buy that but we’ll see…

Say what you want about the Russo’s (especially lately) but the dudes can deliver when it comes to action at the least!!.

Tell me your desperate as [frick]ing [frick] without telling me...

I'd feel better if they actually told the truth - we kinda shit the bed since Endgame and we're trying to get back there...

This has to be the biggest box office hit of all time or it will be considered a disappointment.

The toothpaste is out of the tube and there's no going back.

MCU is DOA.

This movie is 10-11 months away? And we get something like 4-5 articles a day. Can we just talk about something else?......it's cold here. gas prices are lower right? I'm enjoying FALLOUT. I got this weird clicking coming from my hip when I get up.
TheFinestSmack
TheFinestSmack - 1/20/2026, 8:09 AM
@WEAPONXOXOXO - I'm convinced at this point that scoopers and writers get paid by Marvel to flood the web with content just to drive excitement.

WEAPONXOXOXO - 1/20/2026, 8:14 AM
@TheFinestSmack - I'm so used to these movies coming out during the summer but then it clicks that, okay this movie is DECEMBER. So sure I know they want us to get excited about it but by the time September comes around, at this rate, I'll be sick of reading and seeing and hearing about this movie.

It’s more likely that this will be like Infinity War and all the action will be saved for Secret Wars.

TheVisionary25 - 1/20/2026, 8:34 AM
@Relativity - perhaps

However I could see the Russos and Marvel wanting to not just repeat that structure.

BREAKING RUMOR: "This movie is gonna be so good, you guys!!!!"

What even is this? Is this a rumor? Is this a guess? Seriously, what the actual [fack] ?

Opening scene is Doom arriving at the TVA after ripping the spine out of a Kang variant and using his tech to portal there. He already knows at the beginning of the film that his world dying is the direct butterfly effect result of an incursion due to timeline meddling. He doesn’t know about Cap, but he knows about the TVA. He starts tearing through it, until one agent begs him to stop, telling him he knows what caused the incursion. Doom asks “what” and the agent says “not what…who”. Doom asks “who” and then we get the Avengers title card and next scene is the Cap teaser we’ve seen where he pulls up to his house to greet his son.

Mark it.
