As excitement builds for ‘Avengers: Doomsday’, a fresh wave of rumors is making the rounds online, painting a much darker picture of the MCU’s next major crossover.
None of these claims have been substantiated by Marvel Studios. However, they all point to the possibility that Doctor Doom could wreak havoc on some of Earth’s Mightiest Heroes.
Thor And Bucky Reportedly Face Doom’s Wrath
The latest rumor claims that Doctor Doom will be facing Thor in one of the biggest battles of the film. According to the leak, the battle won’t be a pleasant one for the God of Thunder. Because Doom will outfight him and rip off one of his arms during the battle.

The same report also references another even more heart-wrenching twist for Sebastian Stan’s Bucky Barnes. The Winter Soldier is expected to be the biggest casualty, as he will reportedly be killed by Doctor Doom in the film.
If true, Bucky’s demise may be the pivotal moment that brings the Avengers and the Thunderbolts together against their mutual foe. Given Bucky’s long history with both teams, such a sacrifice would carry enormous emotional weight across the MCU.
Steve Rogers Could Face Another Heartbreaking Chapter
The rumors don’t end there. The leaks claim that Steve Rogers will suffer unimaginable personal tragedy, having lost his son, his wife Peggy Carter, and his lifelong friend Bucky. It’s even been speculated that these terrible losses will eventually result in a corrupted version of Steve in ‘Avengers: Secret Wars’.

If Marvel decides to go that route, it would be one of the darkest stories ever for Cap. It would make one of the MCU’s biggest symbols of hope a much more complex character. However, for the time being, these reports should be taken with a pinch of salt.
The idea of Doctor Doom pushing Earth’s greatest heroes to their limits is fitting for one of Marvel’s most formidable villains. Whether these specific claims come to pass remains to be seen. But one thing is certain: expectations for ‘Avengers: Doomsday’ continue to grow as fans eagerly await official details.
