Insiders are steadily leaking new details about the upcoming Marvel Cinematic Universe crossover.
Rumors about the plot of Avengers: Judgment Day are gaining traction online. According to the tipster MyTimeToShineHello, the film’s central conflict will pit Steve Rogers (played by Chris Evans) against Victor von Doom, portrayed by Robert Downey Jr.
The source claims Doom loses his wife and son in an accident triggered by a temporal paradox resulting from Steve’s actions. Victor himself is left gravely injured and consumed by a desire for retribution.
Although Downey Jr.’s version of Doom has not previously appeared in the franchise, the insider highlights how notable it is for Evans and Downey Jr. to find themselves on opposing sides once more. He also says he dislikes how much Judgment Day reportedly echoes Captain America: Civil War, even calling the forthcoming film “Civil War 2.”
Cosmic Circus reports that Kang’s motives from Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania will be retained and will feed into Doom’s arc. Analyst Alex Perez suggests Doom will be a figure who resents any tampering with the timelines.
Viewed together, these accounts are not contradictory but complementary, offering a clearer sense of how the crossover’s narrative might unfold.
Avengers: Judgment Day is scheduled to hit theaters on December 18, 2026.
