Marvel may have slipped a fascinating multiverse clue into the latest ‘Avengers: Doomsday’ footage, and it has everything to do with a baseball stadium. A seemingly ordinary detail in Reed Richards‘ scene could connect the Fantastic Four to Steve Rogers‘ past, potentially hinting at a much bigger crossover.
The Brooklyn Dodgers Connection To Steve Rogers
In the footage, Reed is seen wearing a Brooklyn Dodgers cap while playing baseball at Ebbets Field, the team’s former home in Brooklyn. At first glance, this might look like a simple nod to the Fantastic Four’s retro-inspired setting. However, Marvel fans have noticed a connection to ‘Captain America: The First Avenger’ that could make this detail far more significant.
Ebbets Field was the real-life home of the Brooklyn Dodgers before the franchise moved to Los Angeles in 1958. The stadium also has an interesting connection to Steve Rogers, who references visiting Ebbets Field in ‘The First Avenger’.
After Steve wakes up in the modern world, a baseball broadcast helps him realize that something isn’t right. Having missed decades of history, he struggles to understand the world around him, making baseball an important part of the film’s depiction of his displacement in time.
Now, the same stadium is appearing in ‘Avengers: Doomsday’, this time alongside Reed Richards and the Fantastic Four. Marvel could be using the location to connect two characters whose lives have been shaped by extraordinary changes to their understanding of reality.
Could Reed Richards Be Detecting Steve Rogers?
One theory suggests that Steve could appear at Ebbets Field, with Reed’s concerned expression hinting that something unusual has been detected. If Reed is using a device to monitor unusual events or dimensional disturbances, the presence of Steve Rogers could potentially explain his reaction.

Another possibility is that the Dodgers reference is a subtle clue about the Fantastic Four’s universe. The team’s retro aesthetic and the stadium’s historical significance could suggest a timeline that developed differently from the main MCU reality.
Of course, neither interpretation has been confirmed, and the baseball connection could simply be a clever Easter egg. Still, Marvel has a history of hiding meaningful details in its trailers. If Steve Rogers and Reed Richards are connected through this scene, the Dodgers cap could be pointing toward one of ‘Avengers: Doomsday‘s biggest surprises.
