It's become hard to keep up with the sheer number of Avengers: Doomsday rumours out there, but with most of the plot seemingly revealed ahead of the movie's December release, there's surely not much left to reveal. Or is there?
We know the Russo Brothers are still tinkering with the movie, and that additional scenes have been shot fairly recently. Now, though, details on the movie's post-credits scenes have supposedly been revealed.
This comes from one of social media's many self-proclaimed scoopers/engagement farmers. They claim the Russos want Avengers: Doomsday's post-credits scenes to be dead serious, laying the groundwork for 2027's Avengers: Secret Wars.
Apparently, the first would reveal that Loki survived his run-in with Doctor Doom and that he's been rendered powerless. The second would reveal that Spider-Man (Tobey Maguire) and Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) survived Avengers: Doomsday's opening Incursion and are now alive and well on Battleworld.
As you might expect, platforms like X, Reddit, and TikTok are blowing up with speculation and excitement about these stingers. However, we've done some digging, and from what our sources tell us, not only are these descriptions incorrect, but when it comes to post-credits scenes, there will likely be only one right at the end of the credits, similar to Avengers: Infinity War.
Still, there's always a chance that there's a nugget of truth somewhere in this latest rumour, so we'll have to wait and see what happens this December. Something tells us Marvel Studios will be eager to keep them under wraps for as long as possible.
Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige recently described Doctor Doom as "the greatest villain in the history of the Marvel Universe" and the "centrepiece" of Avengers: Secret Wars.
He continued, "On one hand, [Doom is] noble and loyal. He's true to his word. But he's also a monster. He seeks power over all things, and he will use whatever means necessary to achieve his ends. And just like the legacy that came before, there is no Secret Wars without Doom."
In Avengers: Doomsday, beloved heroes from three distinct universes will be set on a deadly collision course and face an existential threat unlike anything they’ve ever encountered.
Avengers: Doomsday 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, India Rose Hemsworth, and Wesley Holloway 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 Russo Brothers direct Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars from a screenplay by Stephen McFeely, with whom they previously collaborated on the Avengers and Captain America franchises. The movie is produced by Kevin Feige, Louis D'Esposito, and Jonathan Schwartz, with Callum McDougall serving as executive producer.
Avengers: Doomsday is set to be released on December 18.
