Major destination for 'Avengers: Doomsday' revealed by Kevin Feige
In theatres now, Marvel Studios' latest offering, The Fantastic Four: First Steps, has sent waves through the multiverse. The film, set in the alternate reality of Earth-828, introduces advanced technology that allows inter-dimensional travel, known as "The Bridge." This teleportation system, developed by the Fantastic Four, connects storylines involving the Thunderbolts, Doctor Doom, and the events leading up to Avengers: Doomsday, scheduled for release in December 2026.
Within The Fantastic Four: First Steps, the Fantastic Four use "The Bridge" to combat cosmic threats like Galactus. While the main story remains within Earth-828, post-credits scenes and supplementary material hint at the team's potential to travel to Earth-616, the traditional MCU universe. This is significant, as the Thunderbolts have observed a ship adorned with a giant "4" entering space around Earth-616, suggesting a movement towards the main universe.
Doctor Doom's role in this multiverse saga is pivotal. In Earth-828, he is hinted to have sinister plans that may span across universes, as suggested by his appearance in the Fantastic Four post-credits scene with the Storm family’s toddler. Leaks related to Avengers: Doomsday suggest that Doom kidnaps Franklin Richards and is involved in schemes that transcend the boundaries of a single universe, adding complexity to the multiverse conflict. Doom's ultimate goal is creating a world of his own and eliminating Earth-616, a universe protected by an "anchor" - Spider-Man - which draws the Thunderbolts and Avengers into this multiversal crisis.
The Thunderbolts, primarily an Earth-616 group, seem to intersect with the larger multiverse events, facing threats tied to interdimensional schemes. The presence of the Fantastic Four and Doctor Doom's schemes in both universes suggests that inter-dimensional travel technologies and associated antagonists will drive the narrative in Avengers: Doomsday and related MCU Phase 6 projects.
In The Fantastic Four: First Steps, it seems that other Marvel heroes will travel to Earth 828. Moreover, the Baxter Building, home of the Fantastic Four, will serve as a central meeting spot for Earth's Mightiest Heroes in both The Fantastic Four: First Steps and Avengers: Doomsday. The exact timing of the ship's entry, in relation to the events of The Fantastic Four: First Steps and Avengers: Doomsday, remains unclear. It is also not specified if the ship seen by the Thunderbolts is related to the arrival of these heroes in Earth 828 or if any action occurs on Earth 616 during The Fantastic Four: First Steps. The exact number of Avengers, or potentially their nemeses, that will be in the Baxter Building in The Fantastic Four: First Steps is not specified either.
The release date for Avengers: Doomsday is set for December 18, 2026. As the final movie before this epic showdown, fans can expect The Fantastic Four: First Steps to set the stage for a thrilling inter-dimensional adventure.
