Avengers: Doomsday — Reddit Theories About MCU Masterpiece
The excitement for Avengers: Doomsday isn’t just the return of the formidable Doctor Doom for the MCU—it’s something much more. The fan theories are wild and interconnected and honestly? Some of them are genuinely brilliant. Here’s a quick rundown of what the internet’s increasingly Marvel-obsessed community thinks about what will actually happen once this epic movie hits.
1.Who Really Is Doctor Doom (Robert Downey Jr.)?
Here’s the thing that has his fans going wild—Robert Downey Jr. He is Doctor Doom. Instead of keeping it simple, Marvel’s choice has effectively unleashed a flood of fan theories ranging from “he is genius” to “Wait, so is he a Tony variant or what?”
The most interesting theory going around on Reddit is that Doom isn’t Tony Stark — but Marvel wants us all to think he is. Imagine, Doom takes off his mask and the Avengers see Rdj’s face and lose their damn minds… They freeze. They doubt. That hesitation? Doubt? That’s exactly when Doom strikes. It’s manipulative, it’s clever and it would destroy people like Peter Parker and Doctor Strange who already grieved the loss of Tony.
Another now-common theory is that Doom is in fact an alternate-universe version of Tony — namely from Universe 838, where Tony really did manage to “put a suit of armor around the world. Picture an Iron Man who turned full authoritarian, who considers himself the answer to every multiversal problem. But here’s the twist: some fans speculate that when Doom’s mask is removed, they’ll find that the villain has had his face restored or disfigured by the god-like abilities of Franklin Richards, explaining why RDJ’s face appears but still maintaining the classic Doom look.
2.The Multiverse Collapse: Incursions, Galactus, and Ultimate Chaos
Now let’s get to the part that really sets the story. Doomsday isn’t just about one bad guy – according to theories on Reddit, Doomsday is about the entire multiverse collapsing.
Several Redditors speculate that the Fantastic Four’s defeat of Galactus in First Steps results in an unforeseen consequence: Galactus was really a balancing force keeping incursions from getting out of hand. With him gone, universes are colliding.
The biggest crossover would see Earth-616 from the Marvel Cinematic Universe come face-to-face with Earth-10005, the Fox X-Men universe, home to characters such as Deadpool and Wolverine. The encounter between these two universes could result in some exciting interactions as the two very different styles of storytelling could be mixed in profound ways, creating an endless array of battles, comedic exchanges, and joint missions. But here’s the kicker: each side thinks it’s the one under invasion. Both think they need to annihilate the other in order to survive. Avengers vs. X-Men. It’s the showdown we’ve been waiting for, if anyone had the foresight to set things straight.
Doctor Doom somehow gets wind of this mayhem and decides that he’s “the only one” who can fix it. He’s not exactly wrong—he’s just also conveniently positioned himself as the one who should rebuild everything in his image. It’s the ultimate power grab masquerading as salvation.
3.Doom’s Master Plan: From Hero to God Emperor
Here is where the speculations get wild. Some Redditors say the villain will bring Doomsday to the heroes in an attempt to start doomsday. He’ll team up with the Avengers and Doctor Strange (and probably the Scarlet Witch) as their messiah against the crumbling multiverse.
Doom supposedly learns of the Council of Kangs (those multiple versions of He Who Remains that we were teased with in Ant-Man: Quantumania. Fan theory has it Doom kills the entire Council. Every Single Kang Variant Picture a moment like Hulk’s “I’m here to talk about an endgame” line in Infinity War, only Doom is casually wiping out the most powerful beings in the multiverse.
The endgame? Doom gains godlike powers—whether they be derived from Galactus’s Power Cosmic, Loki’s multiversal magic, or the Scarlet Witch’s reality-warping powers and crowns himself the God Emperor of Battleworld, ruling over the shards of the multiverse in Secret Wars
4.The Three-Way Conflict: Everyone Fighting Everyone
You’ve got one smart cookie twist that is Doomsday itself juggling three different narratives all at once:
The Cosmic Crisis: Doctor Strange and Clea are handling incursions throughout the multiverse which leads to Doom.
The New Avengers Problem: The Thunderbolts and Sam Wilson’s Avengers team on their own fractured learning about a space crisis from Yelena’s ship, and run into the Fantastic Four.
The X-Men Entry: Either the X-Men come to warn Earth-616, or they’re found lurking in the MCU after an incursion—and they’re the ones who figure out Doom’s game before the mainstream heroes do.
These three narratives collide in a narcissistic stranger than fiction (or maybe exactly fiction) scenario where no one really knows who the enemy is.
5.The Scarlet Witch’s Redemption Arc
Here’s a truly fascinating twist: Scarlet Witch could actually join forces with Doom. Think of it from her point of view—she’s been on a path toward redemption since Multiverse of Madness. Doom tells her that he is the solution, that together they can save the multiverse. They work in tandem… until Doom turns on her and steals her powers to fuel his plans.
It’s tragic, it’s soap opera and it gives Wanda a real part in causing the very thing she’s been fighting against.”
6.The Franklin Richards Factor
There are multiple theories floating around that make Franklin Richards, god-like son to the Fantastic Four, a key aspect. A few fans think that Doom’s ultimate goal is to somehow use Franklin’s power to reshape reality itself.
Some speculate that Franklin could be the solution to either halting Doom, or, paradoxically, rescuing the multiverse in the aftermath.
The Bleak Ending We’re Not Expecting
The prevailing theory on Reddit is that Doomsday ends in a destructive cliffhanger. The film ends with universes vanishing into the Void, heroes dispersed across realities, and Doom’s triumph seeming total—echoing Infinity War’s gut-punch ending. It isn’t a happy ending. It’s a “Wow, Doom actually won. What now?” ending that sets up Secret Wars as the true final battle.
What Makes These Reddit Theories So Compelling
They imply the MCU is at last giving fans what they’ve been desiring: a villain arc as sweeping and inescapable as Thanos’s was, but with deeper philosophical complexity. Doom isn’t merely destroying he’s ordering, commanding, rectifying the broken. It’s more frightening than just evil villainy.
If Marvel even adheres to any of these theories at all, we’ll have to wait and see. But here’s what’s certain: Reddit’s Marvel community has basically handed us a roadmap of expectations that’s equally exciting and scary.

Conclusion
If even a fraction of these theories hold up, Avengers: Doomsday may be the MCU’s most audacious gamble since Infinity War. What makes these concepts so thrilling is not simply the level of destruction, or even the various crossovers—it’s the moral ambiguity at the heart of them all. Doctor Doom isn’t being conceived as a straightforward villain, but a fearsomely rational messianic figure who actually thinks that absolute control is the only thing that can stave off complete destruction.
A fractured multiverse, heroes fighting each other, Wanda’s tragic redemption, and Doom’s rise as a God Emperor all point to an ending where winning doesn’t feel like winning at all. Instead, it seems like defeat, fear, and gloom—the perfect emotional lead-in for Secret Wars.
