Avengers: Doomsday<\/a> has the potential to be one of the darkest films in the history of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Robert Downey Jr.’s Doctor Doom finally arrives next year, ready to give the Avengers the greatest fight of their lives. While there are plenty of powerful heroes available to fight the supervillain, their victory won’t come without a heavy price.<\/p>\n

Much like Avengers: Infinity War and Endgame before it, Doomsday will feature the deaths of multiple major MCU characters. The cast and directors have hinted that sacrifices will have to be made for the Avengers to stand a chance against Doctor Doom. If this is true, several characters stand out as the most likely to die as the Multiverse Saga draws to a close.<\/p>\n

Mister Fantastic Would Be a Shocking Death<\/p>\n

Pedro Pascal’s Reed Richards\/Mister Fantastic is one of the newest heroes to join the MCU, making his first appearance earlier this year in The Fantastic Four: First Steps. Marvel is building up Mister Fantastic to be a major player in the final films of the Multiverse Saga and whatever comes next. While it seems unlikely that Reed Richards will meet his end in Avengers: Doomsday, his death would be the perfect, unexpected moment to really shock viewers.<\/p>\n

Pascal has built a career on playing beloved characters who meet untimely and violent ends, from Oberyn Martell in Game of Thrones to Joel in The Last of Us. Moreover, the MCU has made a strange habit of killing off members of the Fantastic Four in gruesome and unexpected ways. Reed could end up laying down his life to protect his son from Doctor Doom<\/a>, ending the next Avengers film with the most surprising death imaginable. This would be a massive bait-and-switch for Marvel just as it finally introduces its version of the Fantastic Four, but it would be the shocker that no one ever saw coming.<\/p>\n

Red Guardian Could Be the New Avengers’ First Casualty<\/p>\n

David Harbour’s Red Guardian has been a highlight of the two films he’s starred in, first stealing the show in Black Widow and later becoming the surprising heart of Thunderbolts*. Now living out his dream of being a member of the New Avengers, Alexei Shostakov is about to enter the fight of his life when Doctor Doom finally arrives. With the New Avengers most likely acting as the front lines on the defense against Doom, the team is almost certain to suffer some casualties, potentially including the Red Guardian.<\/p>\n

Alexei’s fun and boisterous personality makes him a delightful character, but his fatherly presence and love for Yelena practically set him up for a tragic death. It’s a miracle that the Red Guardian survived the events of Thunderbolts*, but he may not be so lucky next time. His death could be the push that Yelena needs to finally claim her sister’s mantle of Black Widow to become the Avenger she was always meant to be.<\/p>\n

Tobey Maguire’s Spider-Man May Get to Be Doomsday’s Real Hero<\/p>\n

Rumor has it that Tobey Maguire’s Spider-Man is returning for <\/a>Avengers: Doomsday<\/a>, which could explain why Tom Holland’s hero hasn’t yet been confirmed for the upcoming film. A seasoned hero with decades of adventures under his belt, this Peter Parker variant is still one of the most beloved characters in the Marvel multiverse. As tragic as it would be, this makes him a prime candidate to perish in the fight against Doctor Doom.<\/p>\n

Things don’t look particularly promising for any alternate-universe character after the Multiverse Saga. It seems likely that the MCU will close the door on the multiverse after Avengers: Secret Wars. If this is true, then characters like Tobey Maguire’s Spider-Man deserve a proper heroic ending, even if it involves him sacrificing himself for the greater good. Still, if this Spider-Man variant dies in Doomsday, one can only hope that Andrew Garfield and Tom Holland at least get a chance to say goodbye.<\/p>\n

Captain America Could Lay Down His Life to Save the World<\/p>\n

Sam Wilson only just became Captain America in place of Steve Rogers, but his time as the Star-Spangled Man may already be coming to a close. The MCU is building toward a partial timeline reset after Avengers: Secret Wars, at which point certain iconic characters, including Iron Man and Captain America, are expected to be recast. If this is true, there may not be room for Sam Wilson’s Cap beyond the Multiverse Saga, paving the way for his heroic sacrifice during the events of Doomsday.<\/p>\n

As the new leader of the Avengers, Sam Wilson still has a long way to go to prove himself a worthy successor to Steve Rogers. Much of Doomsday will be dedicated to his learning to lead the team. However, for Sam, this lesson may come the hard way. Fans shouldn’t be too surprised if the new Captain America chooses to prove his merit by sacrificing himself to save the others.<\/p>\n

Steve Rogers’ Fate Will Be Revealed in Avengers: Doomsday<\/p>\n

Chris Evans may insist that he isn’t involved in Avengers: Doomsday, but most fans know better than to believe him. The actor was actually one of the first cast members confirmed for the film, though he and Marvel have both repeatedly denied the veracity of these claims since. Nevertheless, no one would be particularly surprised to see Doomsday pick up where Endgame left Steve Rogers, revealing that his happy ending with Peggy Carter came with a few bumps along the way.<\/p>\n

As beloved as Steve Rogers is, it seems likely that he will meet a similar fate as Tony Stark did in Endgame. If the character returns, it will almost certainly be for the last time. It is perfectly within Steve’s character to put his life on the line to protect his friends, even if it means giving up his idyllic life with Peggy.<\/p>\n

Professor X Deserves a Proper Sendoff<\/p>\n

Sir Patrick Stewart will reprise his iconic role as Professor Charles Xavier in Avengers: Doomsday, alongside several other cast members from 20th Century Fox’s X-Men franchise. This marks Stewart’s second MCU appearance after his cameo in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. Much like his most recent appearance, Professor X might meet a tragic fate by the end of Doomsday.<\/p>\n

Marvel has already killed off Professor X three times: twice in the X-Men franchise and once more in Multiverse of Madness. However, the character has yet to receive a proper ending befitting such an iconic part of the superhero genre’s cinematic history. If Doomsday involves the death of the X-Men universe, as is heavily rumored, characters like Professor X deserve a proper sendoff that recognizes them for the heroes they are.<\/p>\n

Ant-Man’s MCU Arc Is Probably Over<\/p>\n

Believe it or not, Ant-Man is now one of the most seasoned heroes in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. First appearing a decade ago in the first Ant-Man movie, Paul Rudd’s Scott Lang has gone on numerous adventures over the past ten years, pulling off heists, helping the Avengers defeat Thanos, and even defeating Kang the Conqueror. With Ant-Man’s return in Avengers: Doomsday, his arc will most likely come to an end.<\/p>\n

Following the poor box office and critical performance of Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, Marvel may want to move away from Scott Lang and his cast of characters after the end of the Multiverse Saga. As such, Scott could meet the heroic end that he should have met at the end of Quantumania. Moreover, his death would be an excellent inciting incident for his daughter, Cassie Lang, to follow in her father’s footsteps as a member of the Young Avengers.<\/a><\/p>\n

Loki Could Complete His Redemption Arc With a Heroic Sacrifice<\/p>\n

Loki has had one of the single-best character arcs in the entire Multiverse Saga. A variant of the god of mischief who escaped capture after the Battle of New York, the new version of Loki embarked on an incredible multiversal journey during the events of his self-titled Disney+ series. Eventually, he overcame the Kang variant known as He Who Remains to become the new “God of Stories,” sitting at the center of Yggdrasil, the World Tree.<\/p>\n

Loki’s redemption arc is unlike any other in the MCU, but it isn’t quite done yet. The god of stories will return as a member of Sam Wilson’s new Avengers team in Doomsday, working alongside his brother, Thor. There would be no better way for Loki to end his heroic journey than with one final sacrifice, using his new godly powers to defeat Doctor Doom and save the multiverse. In so doing, he would also prove to Thor that he had been right about his brother’s heroism all along.<\/p>\n

Thor Isn’t Safe in Avengers: Doomsday<\/p>\n

Thor is one of the most exciting Avengers confirmed to return in the upcoming crossover film. As the only founding member of the Avengers officially confirmed to appear in the movie, he will most likely play a key role in the fight against Doctor Doom. Additionally, Thor and Loki will finally reunite in Avengers: Doomsday<\/a>, but their long-awaited partnership may be short-lived.<\/p>\n

As one of the longest-lasting heroes in the MCU, Thor’s arc could come to an end after Doomsday. By the end of 2026, the god of thunder will have starred in four solo films and five Avengers films, a record among Marvel’s characters. Doomsday would be the perfect place to say goodbye to a character as iconic as Chris Hemsworth’s Thor, even if viewers aren’t quite ready to see him go.<\/p>\n

The Winter Soldier’s Time in the MCU May Be at an End<\/p>\n

\"Sebastian

Of all the heroes set to appear in Avengers: Doomsday, Bucky Barnes\/The Winter Soldier stands the greatest chance of dying. Sebastian Stan will have been working in the MCU for fifteen years by the time Doomsday hits theaters, starring in nine films and one Disney+ series in that time. The actor has also expanded his horizons since first joining Marvel, even winning an Academy Award nomination for his work in The Apprentice. The time may have finally come for fans to bid adieu to Bucky Barnes once and for all.<\/p>\n

Since his first appearance in 2011’s Captain America: The First Avenger, Bucky has grown to become one of the most beloved MCU characters of all time. His death would be a traumatic event for fans everywhere, but would also give Doomsday the extra emotional weight it needs to live up to Infinity War and Endgame. Bucky’s death would be tragic, but it would make for an excellent and unforgettable moment in the next Avengers film.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Avengers: Doomsday has the potential to be one of the darkest films in the history of the Marvel…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":175623,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[146,85,46,397],"class_list":["post-175622","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-movies","tag-entertainment","tag-il","tag-israel","tag-movies"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/175622","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=175622"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/175622\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/175623"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=175622"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=175622"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=175622"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
