Clearly, relating to organising a film like Avengers: Doomsday, there are plenty of puzzle items that must be set in place earlier than the movie debuts. Again in February, the organising for Physician Doom’s arrival actually kicked into gear. In Captain America: Courageous New World, Anthony Mackie’s Sam Wilson was given his first trace of the multiverse’s existence by Samuel Sterns, aka The Chief, who warned that “They’re coming.”

What’s extra, if that’s the second that Downey Jr.’s face is lastly seen for the primary time, then it will get a devastating response from Holland’s Peter Parker after his shut relationship with Tony Stark. What higher technique to depart followers desperately ready for December and Doomsday?
Naturally, none of that is confirmed till Marvel Studios makes it official. Nevertheless, there are a number of indicators that this might be the path to Avengers: Doomsday, and the making of one other record-breaking behemoth of an MCU crossover film.
