Marvel’s upcoming movie ‘Avengers: Doomsday’ is already sparking new fan theories even before its official trailer has been released online. The first films shown at CinemaCon created a lot of buzz, with appearances by Doctor Doom, major teams and large-scale battles. Now, comments from directors Joe Russo and Anthony Russo, along with the president of Marvel Studios Kevin Feigehave fueled speculation about a hidden actor that could directly link the film to ‘Avengers: Secret Wars’ and beyond.
Young Avengers set up in ‘Avengers: Doomsday’
Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, the Russo brothers downplayed previous Magneto-related claims, with Kevin Feige adding that the film will have a “New Jersey presence.” This detail fans the setting Ms. Marvel, known as the “Jersey City hero”. If she does appear, she may continue her arc as ‘Ms. Marvel’ and ‘The Marvels’, where a new team began to form.Kamala Khan, played by Iman Vellani, was last seen recruiting young heroines like Kate Bishop and referencing Cassie Lang. The theory gained more weight after “Daredevil: Born Again” suggested that he traveled to meet friends on the West Coast, possibly to bring Cassie Lang back.There are already several young characters in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, including Kate Bishop, Cassie Lang, Wiccan, Eli Bradley, America Chavez and Kid Loki. The idea is that Marvel could merge these figures into a single Young Avengers team based on threads established across multiple projects.
The Secret Wars sequel setup and the future of Phase 7
The theory also ties into how ‘Avengers: Secret Wars’ could develop. Reports suggest that the Quantum Realm could help some heroes survive a multiverse collapse. Cassie Lang’s experience may allow her to lead a group to safety, echoing the comical stories of survivors in a reimagined reality called Battleworld.This would place the youngest heroes at the center of the next phase. They can be “life raft survivors in the MCU adaptation” and face off against Doctor Doom in a rebuilt universe. The setup mirrors the original Young Avengers concept, where a new team steps up when the traditional Avengers are gone.Marvel hasn’t confirmed a Young Avengers movie yet, but several release dates between 2028 and 2029 remain open. With the likes of Kathryn Newton returning and Joe Locke reportedly inking a multi-project deal, the foundations for a post-‘Secret Wars’ team-up appear to be underway.
