Steve Rogers' Choice Triggers Doomsday?
29 Sep
Summary
- Steve Rogers' decision to stay in the past may cause multiversal crisis.
- Dr. Doom's arrival is theorized to stem from Captain America's actions.
- New footage links Captain America's dance with Peggy to a Loki encounter.
A compelling theory posits that Steve Rogers' decision to stay in the past during Avengers: Endgame may be the catalyst for the multiversal crisis and the impending wrath of Dr. Doom. The extended footage in the Avengers: Endgame Encore showing Rogers sharing a dance with Peggy Carter, only to be visited by Loki, could be a key setup. This interaction raises questions, as Loki is now a protector of timelines, suggesting Rogers' timeline alteration might have unforeseen consequences.
This past action could have created ripples across realities, potentially contributing to the multiversal threat. A specific theory links Earth-828, associated with Doctor Doom, to a branch reality created by Steve's choice. The trailer for Avengers: Doomsday, featuring Robert Downey Jr.'s new character declaring "All of you have been living stolen lives," supports the idea that the present timeline has been disrupted.
Avengers: Doomsday, set to release on December 18, 2026, will feature Robert Downey Jr. as the villain Dr. Victor von Doom and is directed by Anthony and Joe Russo. The film promises to connect to Avengers: Secret Wars and stars a massive ensemble cast including Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, and other MCU veterans, alongside new additions like Pedro Pascal. While Marvel has not officially confirmed the link between Steve Rogers' actions and Dr. Doom's motives, the theory is gaining traction based on new footage and established multiverse rules.
