RUMOR: AVENGERS: DOOMSDAY Spoilers Promise A Big SECRET WARS Debut, More Casting Additions, And X-MEN Details

Another round of potential Avengers: Doomsday spoilers has been revealed, this time shedding light on everything from Ghost Rider to Black Swan, and the X-Men's role in the search for Franklin Richards.

With it looking increasingly likely that we'll get a first look at Avengers: Doomsday before 2025 is over, excitement for the movie is still building after a summer that's been surprisingly light on updates. 

We started the year with a few teases from the Russo Brothers as they promoted Netflix's The Electric State, while March brought an epic cast reveal. A couple of leaks have followed, but we got no meaningful set photos and production has since wrapped (well, until reshoots, at least). 

Scooper James Mack is relatively new on the scene, but has a solid track record after sharing accurate costume details for the movie's lead heroes weeks before they showed up on social media

Now, he's offered a few more intriguing Avengers: Doomsday updates, including the fact that the actors not officially announced to appear are "supporting characters, cameos, or surprise appearances." However, he expects Brie Larson, Teyonah Parris, Sophia Di Martino, and Benedict Cumberbatch to be confirmed soon, as they're "important" to the movie. 

It was recently reported (again) that Ghost Rider will appear in Avengers: Doomsday, and Mack believes that it will be a new actor taking on the role, not a returning Nicolas Cage as his Johnny Blaze Variant from the mid-2000s. 

He also claims that our heroes will use Cerebro to search for Franklin Richards, with the Avengers vs. X-Men battle set to take place in Avengers: Doomsday, not a separate project. The recent tease shared by the Russos led to speculation about that being the case, but it seems this fight will be confined to the upcoming blockbuster. 

The insider has also indicated that we'll see a Bucky Variant suit up as Captain America in The Void and claims that Black Swan will make her MCU debut in Avengers: Secret Wars

In the comics, she becomes the last of her people when an incursion occurs on Earth-1365. She escaped to the Library of Worlds and was recruited into the Black Swans, an organisation we later learn is ruled over by Doctor Doom. Arriving on Earth-616 during its first incursion, she was captured by the Illuminati. 

There's currently no word on who would play Black Swan in Avengers: Secret Wars, so stay tuned for updates.

Avengers: Doomsday stars 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, Florence Pugh, Danny Ramirez, David Harbour, Hannah John-Kamen, and Lewis Pullman all make their Avengers franchise debuts in the movie. 

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, and Deadpool & Wolverine star Channing Tatum.

Chris Evans, Hayley Atwell, and Ryan Reynolds are also set to appear, according to recent reports from the trades. 

The Russo Brothers direct the movie 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, 2026, with Avengers: Secret Wars scheduled to arrive on December 17, 2027.

Who on the Xmen team can really go up against Thor, Hulk, and Captain Marvel plus Vision if he appears.

@hue66 - Magneto has been an Avengers-level threat on his own in various stories.

@hue66 - Individually? Not many. Colossus could stand his ground against Hulk, but not take him down. That's their thing. The X-Men specifically work as a team better than any other group to take down any threat.

But with Prof. X, Iceman, Jean Grey (not even Phoenix), Colossus, Storm, if you've got Cyclops calling the shots they can manage.

and toss Wolverine in there to just rage-bait Hulk and keep him occupied you're good. Toss Magneto in there too? Game over.

THOR - Storm, Magick, Professor X

HULK -Wolverine/Collossus/Nightcrawler/Kitty Pryde

@KennKathleen - Yeah I forgot about Prof X and Jean could neutralize several mentally. Except Vision. Also with telekinesis.

@hue66 - these are the types of debates I like. In my opinion I don’t feel ANY two of the current X-men that we’ve seen before are ready for the MCU’s Hulk or Thor. Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine isn’t ready for Hulk or Thor in any capacity. Wolverine had trouble with Deadpool and we watched Juggernaut tear him in two pieces without a second thought.

@hue66 - Going by rumors, Wanda will be on the X-Men side.

@WruceBayne - there's no shame in losing to Juggernaut. He's as OP as they come and can't be killed in a technical sense.

@MyCoolYoung - Assuming which version of Juggernaut we're talking about.

He's been everything from a serious, unstoppable theat, to a complete jobber.

Is Rogue in Doomsday? I would like to see her get super strength and flight from Captain Marvel. Looking forward to a trailer.
TheVisionary25
TheVisionary25 - 10/3/2025, 12:41 PM
@6of13 - she could be but the character hasn’t been confirmed or rumored to be in it.
WruceBayne
WruceBayne - 10/3/2025, 1:44 PM
@6of13 - this would definitely be the time to add her. After The Marvels, Carol Danvers hasn’t been too popular of a character and you could definitely tie up her story that satisfies a lot of fans.
TheVisionary25
TheVisionary25 - 10/3/2025, 1:54 PM
@WruceBayne - I don’t think there is a need to tie up her story

If they go that route , Rogue could take her powers and the character still survives except perhaps not as powerful as she once was.
WruceBayne
WruceBayne - 10/3/2025, 2:07 PM
@TheVisionary25 - you can depower her and make her a high ranking member of SHIELD.
The reason I said tie up her story is because there’s more hate towards the character than positivity and we all know that “fans” will nitpick a movie into oblivion from one minor issue they’ve had with it.
I look at wrapping up her story is a little bit of damage control as a whole.
TheVisionary25
TheVisionary25 - 10/3/2025, 12:42 PM
I guess i [frick]ing imagined it but I thought for sure Sophia DiMartino was confirmed to be back as Sylvie but I guess not lol…

Anyway , I do hope she’s in this since I like the character and it would be nice to see her meet Thor imo.

In regards to Ghost Rider possibly being in this , I would rather we get a new actor in the role post SW…

Have this be Nic Cage’s final hurrah in the role if the character is in these films since this saga has partly been a love letter to pre-MCU Marvel.

Scooper makes shocking revelation that xmen will be dressed like the xmen and that unannounced heroes will simply have cameos or surprise appearances.

I kinda assumed that the MCU would amalgamate Clea into the Black Swans actually. Maybe she's the last surviving one hence why she wants to help fix the incursions or whatever.

Can we get Dan Ketch as Ghost Rider? Everyone knows he's the best GR.
