Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) fans have reason to celebrate. The Avengers: Doomsday Leak has sparked a lot of excitement among fans, hinting at a thrilling team-up involving the Avengers, Fantastic Four, and X-Men in the first act. According to leaked set images and some plot details, it seems we’ll see a significant multiverse crossover featuring Sam Wilson’s Avengers, the New Avengers, and the Fantastic Four. This sets the stage for an intense confrontation with Doctor Doom, promising to raise the stakes to unprecedented levels. If true, this could be one of the most ambitious crossovers yet! With its release locked for December 18, 2026, Marvel seems set to expand the cinematic universe to a new level.
Superheroes unite in a Multiverse showdown
The leaked photos from the futuristic set of Avengers: Doomsday show Falcon (Danny Ramirez), US Agent (Wyatt Russell), and The Thing (Ebon Moss‑Bachrach) standing side by side on a futuristic ship. The design of the set closely resembles the Fantastic Four’s spacecraft, seen in earlier promotional material for Fantastic Four: First Steps, which is due out in July 2025. The return of Ramirez as a fully-suited Falcon suggests continuity from Captain America: Brave New World, while Russell’s US Agent is again seen wearing his signature beret from Thunderbolts.
Plot leak unveils the first act
According to various sources, the movie is set to begin with Shuri noticing some troubling signs of "Incursions"—essentially interdimensional collisions that pose a serious threat to the multiverse. In response to this alarming situation, Nick Fury gathers a team of heroes, including Captain America (Sam Wilson), Hulk, Thor, Wong, and some members of the Fantastic Four. Their mission is critical: they must rescue Franklin Richards and Monica Rambeau, who have been captured by Doctor Doom and taken into an alternate universe inhabited by the X-Men.
“Shuri is the one who discovers the Incursions. While detecting anomalies in the fabric of reality and investigating the multiverse, she realises that different universes are colliding with each other. Using a hologram (like in the Shang-Chi post-credits scene), she shares her findings with Sam, Wong, Bruce Banner and Carol Danvers, warning them about the imminent threat” the sources suggest. “Meanwhile, the events of the Fantastic Four’s arrival on Earth-616 take place. The Thunderbolts/New Avengers are the first to encounter them. Reed Richards reveals that Doctor Doom has kidnapped his son, Franklin and also mentions Galactus, who previously tried to capture Franklin because of his immeasurable powers. Bucky, unsure how to handle the situation with Doom, goes to seek advice from Sam”, the source added.
Even though all this information is still a rumour and should be treated lightly, who doesn't want to know some spoilers about their favourite movie?
Fans react to the crossover hype

Fans are also celebrating the growing significance of characters like Monica Rambeau and Franklin Richards. It seems like they could play crucial roles in connecting the X-Men and Fantastic Four with the existing Marvel Universe, which adds to the excitement!
