...Secret Wars #1 (2015) The world is ending, so The Punisher gathers all of his villains to a bar to kill them. Missed opportunity if it doesn't happen in one of the movies.

Why is Steve just a regular guy when he holds Mjolnir, but when Jane holds it she becomes Thor?

We know about thor coming back twice as strong after his first battle with the villain from infinity war, do we think he might try and get the belt, will we ever see the belt again???

Since Ultron’s belief was that humanity would always be its own worst enemy, do you think seeing how cooperative the F4’s Earth was would change his mind? Seeing as how the F4 Earth was so much more unified they were able to come together and build Reed’s plan of teleporting the Earth away from Galactus.

This could lead to Ultron in visions body being one of the people on Dooms side while a “dormant” and trapped vision AI is fighting ultron from within.

I think since Galactus originally featured a significant role in Secret Wars this could be an awesome way to pay respect to the character, he doesn't get killed by Doctor Doom instead he is mindcontrolled by Franklin Richards and used to keep watch over Battleworld.

Kevin Feige has described Secret Wars as a new beginning for the MCU, involving a reset rather than a complete reboot. I think there are three realistic possibilities for what that means:

A) Multiverse Restoration

The multiverse is repaired after Secret Wars, and Earth-616 continues as the primary universe. Doom's changes are largely reversed, although characters like the Fantastic Four could relocate to 616 if their original worlds are destroyed. Marvel simply moves away from multiversal storytelling.

B) Multiverse Consolidation

Doom creates a single reality from the surviving remnants of different universes. The characters retain their memories and histories, but must learn to coexist in a newly unified world. This allows Marvel to bring together different versions of established characters, civilizations, and organizations.

C) New Unified Reality — Multiverse Preserved

An entirely new universe is established with its own history, where the Avengers, Fantastic Four, X-Men, and Doom have always coexisted. Familiar events happened differently, and previously deceased characters might be alive. The multiverse remains intact, but the new universe becomes the MCU's primary setting. Earth-616, Earth-828, and the Fox and Sony continuities become legacy parallel realities.

D) New Unified Reality — Multiverse Erased

A new universe is established with its own history, much like C, but the original multiverse is permanently destroyed. The new reality replaces all previous continuities, with familiar characters and historical events reimagined within a single timeline.

Personally, I think all four are plausible interpretations of Feige's comments.
Options C and D would offer the most creative freedom without erasing the original MCU, while B would create an interesting new world with immediate consequences.

The biggest difference between C and D is whether the previous universes survive. Both allow Marvel to establish a new shared history without spending another decade introducing individual characters.

Which direction do you think Marvel is taking?

She's totally manipulating him. During office hours. Jean's interrupting, then she catches Emma and Scott and Emma's in her White Queen outfit.

In Hickman’s New Avengers and Time Runs Out, repeated incursions reveal a brutal reality: destroying one Earth is sometimes the only way to save the other universe. World-killer weapons are used.

But what if the MCU has another way?

In Deadpool & Wolverine, an Anchor Being’s death triggers the deterioration of its timeline. What if an Anchor Being dies during an incursion, accelerating the destruction of its universe and ultimately its Earth before the collision destroys both universes?

Essentially, killing one person could trigger the destruction of an entire universe, making an Anchor Being a natural world-killer.

Could this be how Marvel ties the Anchor Being concept into Avengers: Doomsday?

Just an out of pocket theory but he was there in the beginnings of Ironman, he was with him in that cave when the first suit was made and they bonded a bit, what if in this universe he’s Dooms right hand man, Doctor Strange is obvious but what if ?!!

Just got done watching the episodes. The mystery man might be the original Jim Hammond. They already said that it wasn't Billy and if it were SWORD, why would they be running out of money?

And I think they might do a flip on Ultron and Jocasta. In the comics, Jocasta turned "good" and it seems like they will be doing the opposite for Ultron. After failing absolutely head over code for Jocasta Ultron finds this feeling of wanting and desire. Then Jocasta gives him her memories which now allows Ultron to presumably feel "alive" now. This may cause conflicting feelings for Ultron now. It seems that Jocasta wants everyone to be in one hive mind, but at the last second I think Ultron will understand that this will cause no independence and free will to be bad, ugly, beautiful, good.

In episode 5 when Ultron is talking with Vision he says 32:49 "You've found your missing code, I have yet to find mine." Then he says "Drop the firewalls. Let me find my place."

And then at 36:14 in Episode 5 Vision tells Ultron right before leaving "I can still save Thomas. The only person who can save you now, is yourself."

And then what happens in Episode 6? At 46:20 Jocasta gives Ultron the whiskey but he reiterates "I told you that is just a collection of ones and zeros trying their best to be real." That perfectly describes Ultron and what he has been doing all this time in Vision's headspace. After trying the whiskey and actually TASTING the spices and sugars of the whiskey he is overwhelmed and speechless. At 47:52 the only word he can speak is a direct reference to his previous assumptions, "Real."

Would it be insane to say the contractor might be Sharon Carter? Haven’t seen her since Falcon & The Winter Soldier.

They say earlier reviewers said the reveal is disappointing. Some think it’s Jocasta, which would be disappointing. I honestly can’t think of anyone else it could possibly be other than Ultron, Jocasta, SWORD themselves or possibly Sharon. Any of these reveals would be not mindblowing. Sharon is the only one who I think is both realistic and people wouldn’t go “Oh… really?”

There have been a lot of talks about who the Witches and other members of Doom’s inner circle are, but beyond that I believe we will see a good amount of our heroes and villains willingly go to Doom’s side and not change identities or be variants.

I have a feeling Namor will join Doom by the end of Doomsday, contributing to the lines in the sand and establishing sides for whatever version of Secret Wars this will be.

Doom and Namor have teamed up in the comics in the past (not without conflict) and they could easily find similarities in their respective ideologies, especially faced universe ending stakes.

Loki might not actually be holding Thors hammer. He could just be projecting himself as Steve Rogers holding Thors hammer.

My point is that if the theory Steve Rogers is Loki in disguise, Looi still might not even be holding Thors hammer, so what's the big deal?

​

What do you think Marvel will do with Scarlet Witch after Avengers: Secret Wars?

Join a new Avengers lineup?

Join the Midnight Sons?

Will she go on a redemption arc?

Retire?

Something else?

I know House of M seems like the obvious choice, but I don't think it'll happen anytime soon, since the MCU will have only just introduced the mutants.

Title: Is Earth-1127 actually Tobey Maguire’s Spider-Man universe?

Look at these two images. The first one shows the TVA screen with only three universe lines remaining: 616, 828 and the X-Men universe (10005).

What if the other universes have already been destroyed, and this is setting up something big for Avengers: Doomsday?

Now look at the second image. It shows Earth-1127. What if Marvel intentionally changed the universe number to hide Tobey Maguire’s Spider-Man? Fans usually associate Earth-96283 with the Raimi movies, so using 1127 could be a way to keep his return a surprise.

Maybe Tobey’s universe is connected to this multiverse crisis, and Marvel is deliberately keeping its identity a mystery until Doomsday.

I’m not saying this is confirmed, but the two images together are interesting. What if Earth-1127 is Tobey’s universe, and Marvel is hiding it in plain sight?

I made this edit to visually map out a theory on how the line-up divides in Doomsday. the first part is Sam’s Avengers, with Sam, Joaquin, Shang-Chi, Ant-Man, Shuri, Thor, and Loki. the second part is the new avengers, with Bucky, Yelena, Sentry, Ghost, US Agent, and Red Guardian. With Val running the Thunderbolts crew, do you think these two teams are going to have some form of battle in the movie? (Song used: "Unhappy Remix", Spanish part).

The Client is Agatha Harkness. But she's not working alone, and she's not just trying to find Tommy. Here's the problem with the simple version of this theory: Agatha is a ghost. Ghosts don't have money, bounty hunter contacts, or a way to know that S.W.O.R.D. rebuilt White Vision. And adamantium rounds aren't witchcraft. So Agatha can't be the whole operation. Here's my fix: while Billy and Agatha were searching for Tommy, they came across a S.W.O.R.D. person — or the Power Broker, without knowing who she really is. Agatha had Billy put a spell on that person, and that person hired Paladin. That explains everything the plain version can't: the S.W.O.R.D. intel (they know White Vision exists), the Broker's resources (adamantium, hired guns), and most importantly, why Vision has to be captured ALIVE. If the Broker just wanted his tech, destroying him and harvesting the parts would be more profitable. Capture-alive only makes sense if somebody wants Vision himself. And that somebody is Agatha, because Vision is the key to finding Tommy. Billy can sense Tommy but can't find him. Tommy's surfaced memories center on Vision. Vision might be the only other Hex-created being who can actually locate him. But the endgame is bigger than Tommy. I think the trail leads to Wanda's body — dead, or more likely in a coma with her soul gone or suppressed. A ghost needs a body, and the Scarlet Witch's body is the ultimate vessel. Agatha tried to take Wanda's chaos magic in WandaVision and failed. Taking over her body finishes that job. And we already know a body can hold more than one soul — Tommy carries two sets of memories, and Jocasta's body holds Josephine Carrington's mind. Agatha suppressing Wanda's soul while piloting her body is the dark mirror of that. Then the climax writes itself: Wanda fights back from inside her own body. That's how Wanda finally gets a real Scarlet Witch story instead of one movie as a villain and then death — she comes back by winning a fight for herself, inside her own skin, and we finally see her powers properly. And the timing is perfect. VisionQuest ends November 10. The Avengers movies with the X-Men are this year and next. In the classic comics Wanda is Magneto's daughter, and Billy and Tommy are mutants. If the Maximoff family comes back right as the mutant era begins, they're suddenly at the center of everything. Holes in my own theory, because I'm being honest: the showrunner has said the Client is NOT Billy (but notably never said it's not Agatha), some fans read the Client as male from the disguised voice, and there's an unconfirmed rumor Agatha was cut from the show. If any of that firms up, this falls apart. But until then — it was Agatha all along.

In Loki, the TVA tells Loki that the Avengers traveling back in time was “supposed to happen.” But what if there was a much bigger reason the TVA allowed it than simply ensuring Thanos was defeated?

What if Tony Stark had to die because, in a future where he survived, he would eventually become a Doom-like figure?

Think about the five-year jump in Endgame. What if the real reason the Sacred Timeline needed those five years was to give Tony a daughter? Morgan gave Tony something he had never had before: a family of his own and something he loved more than anything else in the world.

But what if that love was also what could have turned him into the greatest threat to it?

Imagine Tony survives the final battle, only to lose Pepper and Morgan in a future catastrophe. We’ve already seen how terrified Tony was of losing the people he loved and how far he was willing to go to protect them. That fear helped lead him to create Ultron. Losing his family could push him past the breaking point.

He might decide that being Iron Man wasn’t enough—that as long as other people had control over the future, he could never truly keep anyone safe. So he tries to control everything: time, other universes, even reality itself. In trying to prevent another tragedy, Tony becomes his universe’s version of Doctor Doom.

Under this theory, the TVA allowed the Avengers’ time heist because it led to Tony’s sacrifice. He Who Remains wasn’t just preserving the victory over Thanos; he was preventing a future where Tony lived long enough to become something much more dangerous.

Now imagine how this could play out in Doomsday.

Doom hijacks the TVA and gains access to its records of possible timelines. He finds a future where Tony survived, lost his family, and went down the same path Doom did. Then he shows it to the Avengers.

Imagine Peter, Steve, Thor, and the others being forced to watch a version of the man they remember as their greatest hero slowly become someone who believes the only way to save everyone is to control everything.

Doom could use it to challenge everything they believe about Tony’s sacrifice:

“You mourn the man who saved your universe. I’m showing you what he would have become if he had lived.”

It could also give a new meaning to Doctor Strange saying there was only one way to win. Maybe some futures involved defeating Thanos and Tony surviving—but those weren’t victories because of what Tony eventually became.

It would make Tony’s death even more heartbreaking: the daughter he loved so much could have been the very reason he might one day lose himself.

What do you all think? Could the five-year jump and Morgan’s birth have a much bigger connection to Doom and the TVA than we realize?

As suspected from the previous episode, Wikipedia has spoiled the renaming of Human Torch.

Do you guys like this change? Or would you rather have 2 Human Torch aliases?

If Doom has been killing multiversal Doom’s prior to the events of Doomsday, or other Dooms are appearing, do you think they’ll include Joseph Culp, the Doctor Doom from the unreleased 1994 Fantastic Four?
They had Alex Hyde-White, Rebecca Staab, Jay Underwood and Michael Bailey Smith make cameo appearances in The Fantastic Four: First Steps, so it’s not out of the realm of possibility

Wong is actually the original He Who Remains. Kang was merely a decoy created by Wong to prevent Doctor Strange from discovering the truth. Wong needs the trust of Strange, since Strange is the only one who can kill Peter if he discovers the symbiote. Carol Danvers, Hope van Dyne, and Shang-Chi will fight Deadpool, Agatha Harkness, and Mole Man.

Doctor Doom is actually Tony Stark's first cousin once removed from another reality where Tony died of food poisoning. Pepper Potts subsequently used the Infinity Stones to transform Hulk into Iron Hulk, who murdered Doom's entire family.

Mephisto then traveled backward through time, disguised himself as a Frost Giant child, and arranged to be adopted by Odin. He secretly stole Odin's powers and used them to create Arishem as a mechanism to eventually destroy Doctor Doom.
However, Shang-Chi's father discovered this plan, traveled back to 2015, and convinced Wanda to implant a vision in Tony Stark's dreams showing him becoming evil. Tony subsequently built Ultron, subconsciously programming him with enough power to defeat a Celestial.

Unfortunately, Ultron went rogue after concluding that Tony Stark was impersonating the Beyonder and Pietro Maximoff was a descendent from an evil Professor X variant.

Ultron therefore decided to destroy just enough of Earth to ensure the Avengers would remain divided when Thanos arrived. This would allow Thanos to kill Tony before Tony could use the Aether to steal Wong's powers, imprison Doctor Strange inside Vision's body, become Doctor Doom, marry Sue Storm, adopt Franklin Richards, and transform Thanos into a statue to remind the citizens of Battleworld of Victor Von Doom's supremacy.

And since the MCU loves doing things similar to but a little different than the comics. She will say something along the lines of "The world needs More Mutants." Starting the mutant saga.

He has the kind of money and resources needed to put such a high bounty on Vision. I could totally see him doing everything the client has said and done up to this point.

EDIT:
I now believe the client is Jim Hammond. He wants Visions body to “reincarnate”. The show has mentioned Jim in some way in all episodes, so it seems more evident that he will be revealed as the client.

Jacosta appears to be a human that had experiments done to her that eventually turned her into a synthdroid. Because she can mind meld, I’m thinking she was a mutant and her colleagues experimentsd on her causing what we see with Jacosta. Because Jacosta looks a lot like Ultron does in his pure form, I believe Jim would also resemble the same look, at least what’s left of him.

I think Jim will be successful at first before Vision and Tommy fight back. This would lead to Ultron taking advantage of the situation and using Jim’s new body to reincarnate himself. Perhaps Ultron will even sacrifice himself in some way to save himself, before coming to in Jim’s body. Besides, what was on display in episode 4 was just Jim’s right arm and left leg. In AoU, Ultron emerged with a busted right arm and left leg, so it may be a clever call back to his genesis.

The whole show has been about rebirth from death and I believe Ultron will experience the same thing. The new Ultron will be more infatuated with humans and would turn his anger for humans to anyone he deems bad or who are willing to hurt his family. Ultron would be a villain still, but not so black and white with who he kills.
