There’s a lot to look forward to when Avengers: Doomsday arrives to the 2026 movies calendar at the end of the year. That includes the long-awaited return of Chris Evans as Steve Rogers, as well as the new cinematic Fantastic Four team meeting heroes being brought into the wider Marvel Cinematic Universe following their introduction in First Steps. Well, if a new rumor for the upcoming Marvel movie is to be believed, Steve and the FF have an intriguing scene lined up that we were actually supposed to see last year.
Earlier this month, a different rumor claimed that Robert Downey Jr.’s Doctor Doom will seek out the Fantastic Four on Earth-828 (it’s unclear if he’s native to that world or not) to help stop the incursions affecting the multiverse. From there, they’ll travel to the main MCU Earth, i.e. Earth-616, to warn its heroes, which was teased in the Thunderbolts* end-credits scene. Now, according to The Hot Mic’s John Rocha, the FF and Doom will also recruit Steve Rogers to help gain the Earth-616 heroes’ trust. This scene was allegedly “removed” as First Steps’ end-credits tag, but it could still be used in Avengers: Doomsday.
