For what already feels like ages now, anticipation has been at Galactus-sized levels for the Phase-quaking sequel Avengers: Doomsday, and the upcoming Marvel movie still won’t be here until December as one of the late-stage 2026 release dates. Ahead of any full-length trailers, fans have had to subsist mostly on rumor-mill fodder (with some character-focused promos sprinkled in), and one of the latest unconfirmed reports suggests an intriguing reason behind the X-Men allegedly battling the Avengers in the film.
If this particular tidbit imparts the truth, all the fan-familiar mutants we will see in Doomsday will be geared up for fighting due to a misconception that thankfully doesn’t sound quite as frustrating as a sitcom-esque faux pas. Per insider MyTimeToShineHello on X, the X-Men have faced and survived through numerous incursions in their universe, and it doesn’t sound like they’ll be ready to lay down and play dead anytime soon.
