Rumored AVENGERS: SECRET WARS Spoilers Reveal Plans For Doctor Doom, Incursions, Doctor Strange, And More

In another wave of Multiverse Saga rumours, we have intel on how Doctor Doom and Doctor Strange will factor into the next Avengers movies, including plans for the Multiversal War and future Incursions.

Marvel Studios originally planned for Kang the Conqueror and his Variants to serve as the Multiverse Saga's main threat. Loki and Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania laid the groundwork for that, only for Jonathan Majors' legal troubles to change those plans. 

Marvel Studios could have recast the villain but the negative response to the Ant-Man threequel meant Kevin Feige was considering changing course even before Majors found himself in court on misdemeanor counts of assault and harassment charges.

According to The Cosmic Circus' Alex Perez, the plan is still for a Multiversal War to play out in Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars. However, instead of Kang being front and centre, it will revolve around other heroes and villains from across the Multiverse. 

He adds that at least four Anchor Beings will factor into these movies and elaborates on past claims that there will be something of a blame game when it comes to the current state of the Multiverse. 

"[Avengers: Doomsday] will focus on who exactly is to blame for the current state of the Multiverse," Perez explains. "Was it Kang? Was it his variants? Was it someone else? What I’m hearing is that they’re going to try and shift the blame on Doctor Strange, and it’s a motif that’s been building up for a while now."

"[The] idea is to make Strange the common denominator when it comes to incursions. And a good part of these films is Strange trying to reject that notion that [all] Stranges are meant to doom the universe, by making him the one who chooses to save it."

On a particularly interesting note, it's said that the Incursion Clea wanted Strange's help with in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness' post-credits scene was one caused by the events of Spider-Man: No Way Home. It seems the stinger held more importance for the wider Multiverse Saga than first expected. 

Other minor tidbits include Moon Knight not playing a role in the next Avengers movies and the Thunderbolts, Young Avengers, and Franklin Richards all being key to the story.  

Between this and other recent updates, it sounds increasingly likely that Doctor Doom will set out to "save" the Multiverse, albeit in his typically arrogant, villainous way. Villains making a compelling argument is nothing new for the MCU, though, as it's something we previously saw explored through Thanos, for example. 

Avengers: Doomsday is set to be released in May 2026, with Avengers: Secret Wars scheduled to arrive in May 2027.

I am on board. Make this the most bizarre, craziest multiverse adventure ever, all the cameos all the everything, and when the dust settles, let's move forward with X-Men and New Avengers and FF.

That would've sounded great if Multiverse of Madness had ANY implications regarding the Multiverse and the consequences of Strange's actions.

The teaser trailer made us to believe this would be the case, only for Strange to jump between a few Multiverses for a few minutes and call it a day.

Heck, the spell he did in NWH had larger implications than what happened in his own solo sequel.

@kylo0607 - I think you're forgetting that Universe 838 and Universe 616 are going to collide due to the Scarlet Witch dream walking and disrupting the time and space between universes with the Darkhold.

@SonOfAGif - I’d put the blame mainly on her than on Strange

The whole incursion thing is confusing. Miles Morales and Doctor Strange seem to have compatible stories, but Deadpool and other crossover stories in place seem to completely ignore that “rule”
SonOfAGif
SonOfAGif - 12/16/2024, 2:08 PM
@JustAWaffle - How did Deadpool ignore that rule? We saw him briefly jump into Universe 616 but then he left. He didn't cause any disruptions to cause an Incursion between the two universes.
JustAWaffle
JustAWaffle - 12/16/2024, 2:59 PM
@SonOfAGif - I think it was just a whole movie with Wolverine traveling around universes that aren’t his, along with all those other Deadpool’s with zero effect.

SATW42 - 12/16/2024, 4:47 PM
@JustAWaffle - Wolverine is literally pulled out of his own universe, goes to the TVA, spends most of the movie in the void, and then is in Deadpools universe, where he's allowed to saty because he saved the universe.

A whole movie travelling around universes that aren't his? ok...
SATW42
SATW42 - 12/16/2024, 4:48 PM
@JustAWaffle - since the TVA exists outside of universes as does the Void. Wolverine travels to exactly one universe that isn't his.

@SonOfAGif - Yeah DP basically just went to 616 for a (failed) job interview and left. It’s like saying that I destroyed Amazon the last time I did a (failed) job interview there (in my defense they are really REALLY to get into and I didn’t really prepare and I was under the weather and it was a Tuesday and….).
SonOfAGif
SonOfAGif - 12/16/2024, 8:26 PM
@JustAWaffle - Except Wolverine fighting in Deadpool's Universe had no ramifications for that universe because he was fighting void variants whom were all pruned and stopped a TVA outpost that wasn't sanctioned to be there. So that battle was a nothing burger for that universe. The way an Incursion happens is when a being from one universe enters another and causing chaos causing it to destabilize and the universe of which that individual belongs to begins to magnetically merge with the other universe. Almost like a cosmic tug of war.
SonOfAGif
SonOfAGif - 12/16/2024, 8:27 PM
@StSteven - Had Deadpool entered 616 and shot Happy, It would cause an Incursion because that was not supposed to happen. That event would destabilize the foundation of both universes.
StSteven
StSteven - 12/16/2024, 8:34 PM
@SonOfAGif - Exactly. It just depends upon the severity of the action(s) caused by the disruptor as to whether or not it triggers an incursion. Like, if I were to travel to another universe and take out the F.E.I.G.E. bot, that could cause an incursion. But if I just mess with my variant self by rearranging the furniture in my bedroom, that wouldn't cause an incursion (which is what I'm pretty sure is happening because I haven't been able to find the remote for the sound bar on my TV there for the better part of a year 😳).

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have straighten up my Transformers collection...! ☮️😎

@Deadinside - Okay, now this is getting weird (seriously). IRL, a couple of towers of TFs in my TF room mysteriously tumbled the other day and I actually DO have to re-stack them. Sure, sure, sure, it could be due to "gravity" or "doors opening and closing" or "maybe I'm just not good at stacking those things which is why I keep losing at Jenga to an 8 year old", or maybe, just maybe...

Seriously it's just weird that you would make that comment when I really DO have to straighten them up *begins frantic search for hidden cameras and/or drones...* 😳

They've absolutely botched Doctor Strange. If they make him the reason the universe is broken again, if they make him a moron again, and if he isn't a legitimate main player....and I mean MAIN player, it's going to be a letdown.

@McMurdo - I totally agree. IF this rumor is legit, I'm not a fan of them shifting the blame on DS.

@McMurdo - I say, Rhodes has been a Skrull since Terrance swapped with Cheadle, and Dr. Strange has been getting manipulated by Mephisto since he went into the timestream to find various Infinity War outcomes. 🪙 🪙

Very much looking forward to seeing Charlize Theron's character fighting with Strange against incursions (and him facing his fears).

How exactly is Alex Perez getting these details BTW? Is he sleeping with one of the Russo bros? Or is he just pulling shit out of a hat?

Come on, give my boy some love. I've been so desperate for new Moon Knight content.

@Mrcool210 - I agree

Though I have heard some say he’s in it so who knows?.

I just hope we get Moon Knight S2 so we can deal with the Jake Lockley issue.

I still wish they had recast Kang and stayed on the course instead of being reactionary (which is unlike them)…

It’s a character that had multiple versions of himself so he had the built in excuse to recast and look different while you could then have the other versions be more dangerous then the Kang we saw in Quantumania for example.

I enjoyed Majors performances but there could have been other actors that could have took that on and made it better if they wanted to but oh well.

Anyway it is what it is now but if true then I do like the idea of Strange possibly being blamed which was seeded in MoM of the other Stranges going too far and our Strange maybe going down that path aswell.

@TheVisionary25 - I don't mind them being reactionary. They saw it didn't work out, so they changed it. Rather have them try something new and fail, than them sticking with what the plan supposedly was and fail.
TheVisionary25
TheVisionary25 - 12/17/2024, 5:39 AM
@bkmeijer1 - maybe

I guess I say this as someone who was enjoying it
bkmeijer1
bkmeijer1 - 12/17/2024, 8:18 AM
@TheVisionary25 - oh same. It was a direction I liked them going on in, but I do think that we still got the majority of it anyway with Kang, HWR and Victor already.

And also, I can't help but be excited for Doom.

What Rumors it is Avengers: Secret Wars. The only question is which Variants. A Hydra Steve Rogers Captain America is the only choice for Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars.

Loki is the one to blame. I don't understand why Marvel is not following through with that. The plot is simple. He Who Remains chose to isolate himself and the universe he came from by creating a temporal loom that deletes alternative timelines of Universe 616 and allows only for one sacred timeline that only has one Kang which was himself. The rest of the Multiverse has various incidents which allowed them to become aware of different universes but 616 was locked out of it until Sylvie killed HWR. When Scarlet Witch killed the Illuminati in Universe 838 it caused the beginning of an Incursion and the first Incursion should be Universe 838 colliding with Universe 616 and the Dr. Doom (Downey Jr) of 838 dedicates himself to trying to fix the collision and discovers the end of time and battles Loki for the throne.

@SonOfAGif - It was pretty clear to me that Sylvie killing He Who Remains enabled all multiversal events that followed. Each and every one of those would've been prevented if HWR and the TVA were active. People would be happily living their lives, not knowing they were stripped of their free will :)
SonOfAGif
SonOfAGif - 12/16/2024, 1:51 PM
@Fogs - HWR explained that each variant of his waged war for supremacy and he isolated Universe 616 and locked out the Multiverse and his variants. Loki Season 2 established that the temporal loom was designed to delete branches in time because those branches would create a Kang variant. And he explained to Loki that without the TVA and without the temporal loom the universes will go into an all out war. So HWR essentially delayed Universe 616 from interacting with the greater Multiverse. This is why the events of No Way Home and Multiverse of Madness happened
