In the latest sneak peek of “Avengers: Doomsday,” there’s an intriguing encounter between Wakanda’s finest and the Fantastic Four. Unlike the explosive scenes we’ve seen with the X-Men, such as Cyclops (James Marsden) unleashing a powerful optic blast, this moment is more subdued. However, it holds an air of mystery, hinting that unseen characters might be present. Curious? Dive into Looper’s detailed video for potential insights into who might be lurking in this cerebral gathering.
After some investigative work, we’ve established that this teaser unfolds in a desert setting, likely in Bahrain, as numerous “Avengers” cast members were spotted there. A snapshot from the location features Letitia Wright, Winston Duke, and Tenoch Huerta, all appearing in the trailer. Yet, it also captures Anthony Mackie (Captain America), Danny Ramirez (Falcon), and Hannah John-Kamen (Ghost). Ghost is among the New Avengers in the closing scene of “Thunderbolts,” while Captain America and Falcon are connected to a different Avengers group, as teased in the “Thunderbolts” post-credits. Given these actors’ hectic schedules, their presence is likely more than just a casual gathering.
The moment where Black Panther (Wright) and M’Baku (Duke) introduce themselves to Ben Grimm, the Thing (Ebon Moss-Bachrach), might be more significant than it initially appears. Could other superheroes be just beyond the frame, marking a historic convergence of Marvel icons meeting for the first time?
Referring back to the “Thunderbolts” post-credits scene, Yelena (Florence Pugh) and her team witness a ship, presumably belonging to the Fantastic Four, approaching Earth. This vessel might land in the desert, selected for its remoteness, facilitating a discreet meeting with Earth’s mightiest heroes about an urgent matter.
Wakandans, the Talokans led by Namor (Huerta), and Sam Wilson’s Avengers could all be drawn to this mysterious ship, tracking it to its desert landing. It’s a perfect setup to assemble these characters in one location to uncover the looming threat, likely involving incursions that endanger multiple realities.

Going back to that “Thunderbolts*” post-credits scene, Yelena (Florence Pugh) and the team see a ship supposedly belonging to the Fantastic Four flying toward Earth. This ship could land in the middle of the desert, chosen as an isolated area for the Fantastic Four to chat with Earth’s mightiest heroes about something dire.
The Wakandans, the Talokans led by Namor (Huerta), and Sam Wilson’s Avengers could all have been alerted to this strange ship and followed it to its landing site. It’d be a great way to get all of these characters in the same place to learn about whatever threat the Earth’s facing, which will probably be incursions threatening multiple realities.
But that may not be all. “The Fantastic Four: First Steps” post-credits scene sees Sue Storm (Vanessa Kirby) realizing that there’s a stranger in her living room with her son, Franklin. Any Marvel fan could tell you this is Doctor Doom, who will be played by Robert Downey Jr. in “Avengers: Doomsday.” What if Doom brought the incursions to the Fantastic Four’s attention, and their reality is set to collide with the universe of Earth-616? Perhaps he hitched a ride with them to this new version of Earth to explain everything, and the other characters, including the Fantastic Four, have no idea he’s a villain … yet.
Looper’s video at the top of this article explains everything further, but to be honest, it makes sense. If this scene really is supposed to have all these separate teams meeting for the first time, what are the chances a character makes a joke about being able to trust a guy named Victor Von Doom?
