Reed Richards’ and Doctor Doom’s rivalry is alive and well in the MCU! The latest Avengers: Doomsday rumor suggests the two share some major screentime.
One of the biggest worries heading into Avengers: Doomsday is how the MCU will handle the dynamic between Reed Richards and Doctor Doom. Their relationship is one of the most vital aspects of both characters. And given Marvel stunt cast Robert Downey Jr. as the villain, many fans are convinced that their relationship will once more be sidelined.
Yet one scooper claims that Avengers: Doomsday won’t be slacking on their dynamic. Scooper MyTimeToShineHello revealed that Doctor Doom and Reed Richards will have “a lot” of interactions together in the upcoming movie, and that Richards himself will have a “major role” in the MCU’s upcoming crossover. Albeit, the nature of how these characters will meet wasn’t revealed.
Reed Richards’ Role In ‘Avengers: Doomsday’
This rumor actually lines up with another gaining quite a bit of traction in the community, which suggests that Reed Richards and Doctor Doom may have deeper ties than fans thought in the MCU. While Avengers: Doomsday will assuredly condense their very long and complicated history, the franchise has certainly made bigger changes that ended up better.
Though regardless of how Avengers: Doomsday handles Doctor Doom and Reed Richards’ relationship, it’s not likely that it will continue heading forward in the MCU. Most likely, the villain will serve as the capstone to the Multiverse Saga and won’t return for much beyond that for quite a few years – if ever. So fans should at least enjoy the spotlight while it lasts.
Avengers: Doomsday is set to hit theaters in December 2026. Stay tuned for the latest news regarding the future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe!
