The rumor mill surrounding ‘Avengers: Doomsday‘ is showing no signs of slowing down, and one of the latest theories has Marvel fans buzzing. There is speculation that a version of Hydra Captain America will appear in the film and that he will clash with Doctor Doom.
So far, Marvel Studios hasn’t confirmed anything. However, the concept has already generated a lot of speculation given its potential to significantly change the narrative of the MCU’s multiverse.
Hydra Captain America Could Finally Join The MCU
The Hydra Captain America first shocked comic readers in 2016, where Steve Rogers was revealed to have been secretly loyal to Hydra in the comics storyline. The controversial plot became one of the most discussed twists in Marvel history, pitting fans against one another and showing a new version of the iconic figure.

Now, it is rumored that Marvel Studios may be bringing that alternate Steve Rogers into ‘Avengers: Doomsday’. If it’s true, it will introduce another morally complex character to the expanding multiverse and provide viewers with a new take on the Cap.
The rumour has grown even more interesting as Doctor Doom is set to be a major part of Marvel’s upcoming crossovers, making fans wonder how alternate heroes and villains could fit into his larger plans.
Could ‘Avengers: Doomsday’ Adapt Marvel’s Most Divisive Captain America Story?
The most fascinating aspect of the rumour is the fact that Hydra Captain America might face Doom. In Marvel Comics, Doom became one of the most powerful entities in Marvel history as God Emperor Doom in Secret Wars (2015). He even beat Thanos with ease, making him one of the best villains in the franchise.

However, even though both characters have appeared in Marvel Comics, there has never been a storyline in which Hydra Captain America defeats God Emperor Doom. This would make any ‘Avengers: Doomsday’ confrontation between the two a brand new story for the MCU and not a straight adaptation from the comics.
That’s what makes it fun for many fans. Marvel Studios has been increasingly mixing comic influences with brand new stories, and sometimes even surprising longtime fans. However, it’s important to keep in mind that the Hydra Captain America reports are just speculation.
Marvel has not revealed such a character or big plot points for ‘Avengers: Doomsday‘. That said, the prospect of seeing one of Marvel’s most controversial variants of Captain America on the big screen with Doctor Doom is certainly enough to keep the conversation going.
