The latest ‘Avengers: Doomsday’ speculation is bringing the iconic Marvel villain back into the fold, with the possibility that he may be one of the most significant characters in the movie.
According to insider Danielrpk, Marvel Studios is planning on major reshoots where Norman Osborn will be the main character and will be leading the Earth’s heroes in a rebellion against Robert Downey Jr.’s Doctor Doom.
Norman Osborn Could Be The Heart Of ‘Avengers: Doomsday’
If the leak is true, then it would be a major change for ‘Avengers: Doomsday’. Rather than serving as a traditional antagonist, Norman Osborn would reportedly become the leader of the resistance against Doom after the villain establishes his grip on the multiverse.

It’s an intriguing twist for one of Marvel’s most morally complex characters. Norman has been both a hero and a villain throughout the comics. If he’s in the lead in the battle against Doctor Doom, he’ll be a different Osborn than audiences might be expecting.
And it makes sense because we saw Norman Osborn breaking free from the Green Goblin in ‘No Way Home’. The report also says Marvel is making major changes during reshoots, suggesting that the studio may be tweaking the film’s overall narrative in preparation for its release.
Earlier Rumors Also Already Linked Osborn To The Film
It’s not the first time that Norman Osborn’s name has been linked to ‘Avengers: Doomsday‘. The character had already been reported to be in the movie, but his role was still not known. The latest rumour adds to these earlier speculations that he is much deeper in it than they realised.

Rather than just showing up, Osborn might be one of the characters who drives the story. Of course, fans have responded both positively and negatively. Many want to know how Marvel would be able to give Osborn such a pivotal role.
At this time, nothing is confirmed. However, if Marvel is truly expanding the scope of Norman Osborn’s character during ‘Avengers: Doomsday‘s reshoots, the film could have one of the most surprising character arcs in the Multiverse Saga, as one of Marvel’s biggest villains could become their biggest leader yet.
