Marvel Studios finally lifted the curtain on the first full trailer for ‘Avengers: Doomsday’. However, instead of focusing solely on Doctor Doom or the film’s massive roster of heroes, fans have become fixated on a single mysterious shot.
The scene is brief, just a few seconds, but it has already sparked a myriad of theories.
‘Avengers: Doomsday’ Trailer May Be Hinting At The End Of MCU
A quick scene of Johnny Storm carrying an injured Sue Storm through a bright light landscape has sparked a lot of online discussion, with many speculating that Marvel has subtly alluded to the movie’s final moments.

The footage was improved by fans using brightness adjustments, and some people said there are the remains of a massive explosion in the background. That has sparked speculation that the trailer could be referring to one of Marvel Comics’ biggest moments.
A common theory is that the enigmatic sequence is a homage to the end of Jonathan Hickman’s Avengers run, where an Incursion ultimately wipes out Earth-616 when impossible decisions leave the heroes with no means to save all universes.
The Multiverse Saga is set to culminate in a climactic moment of emotion, and if ‘Avengers: Doomsday’ takes a similar turn, the MCU’s primary reality may be completely obliterated. The conclusion would give the ‘Avengers: Secret Wars’ massive boost in stakes.
It should be noted that the theories have not been confirmed by Marvel Studios and the trailer shots are still open to interpretation. However, there are enough similarities in the visuals to keep the discussion going on social media.
A Bold Ending Could Transform MCU Forever
Not all people are happy about the prospect. There have been concerns from some fans that if Earth-616 is destroyed, all the years of stories and journeys with beloved characters might seem to be lost. However, others view it as a chance instead of a loss.

A multiversal reset would allow Marvel Studios to reboot their film universe, while still bringing in fresh characters, like a new generation of X-Men and other iconic figures. It doesn’t necessarily replace what came before it. However, it can be a connection between the MCU fans of today and the future.
So far, the trailer has done exactly what Marvel wanted: it has gotten audiences to pore over each frame looking for hints. The scene with Johnny and Sue is either a true conclusion or a clever trick to fool the audience.
