Doomsday – 7 unspoken truths

If Avengers: Doomsday has already attracted a lot of attention, certain aspects of the film remain silent. From storyboard choices to behind-the-scenes production, key elements are often silenced or passed over in silence by the team and fans.

An underexploited multiverse: the major challenge

The era of Multiverse Saga was supposed to shake up the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Yet despite works like Loki, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness or even No Way Homethe promises of a deep exploration of the concept were never really kept. Result: while the output of Avengers: Doomsday approach – set for December 18, 2026 – the feeling dominates that the plot of the multiverse has been skimmed. Only a handful of alternative realities were presented where one could hope for a proliferation of universes.

The shattering arrival of Robert Downey Jr., and a poorly introduced antagonist

When Marvel Studios made the return of Robert Downey Jr.the surprise was total: he will play not Tony Stark, but the legendary Doctor Doom. An announcement that excites as much as it questions. At this point, his character remains almost absent from the screens – apart from a quick uncredited appearance in the post-credits scene of The Fantastic Four: First Steps. Rumors are also intensifying around the return of major figures such as Chris Evanssupposed to reappear in the guise of Steve Rogers, or even that of the titan Thanos. But all this raises a question: how can we give credibility to these returns when their narrative preparation seems rushed?

A plethoric cast for what development?

The list of actors confirmed for “Doomsday” is dizzying: historical Avengers, members of the However, certain heroes have been conspicuous by their absence for several years (Shang-Chi, Thor, Shuri). Enough to doubt the film’s ability to offer a meaningful space to everyone.

To clarify the current situation:

• Doomsday must make us forget the aborted saga around Kang.
• The immense gallery of characters risks eclipsing any individual development.
• The rushed introduction of a new villain complicates the overall balance.

Post-Kang and the challenges of a successful finale

The sudden fall of Jonathan Majors (Kang) forced Marvel to revise its plans; goodbye “The Kang Dynasty”, make way for “Doomsday” under the leadership of the Russo brothers. However, this transition leaves the narrative arc around Kang and his Variant Council unresolved, the expected resolution of which remains unclear. In this uncertain context, the next major Marvel crossover will not only have to reinvent its central threat, but also convince a now demanding public about the coherence of its extended universe.

It remains to be seen whether this new opus will be able to give the MCU its epic breath again… or if it will only confirm the increasing difficulty of orchestrating such a constellation of heroes and intrigues.
