We thought Thunderbolts* (May 2025) was just a “Suicide Squad” riff—a grounded, gritty movie about anti-heroes doing dirty work. We were wrong. A massive leak from the final test screenings has just hit the internet, and it reveals a post-credits scene that doesn’t just set up a sequel; it effectively starts Avengers: Doomsday.
According to multiple reliable insiders (and a very blurry set photo circling on Discord), the film ends with Valentina Allegra de Fontaine (Julia Louis-Dreyfus) reporting to her mysterious benefactor. For years, we assumed she was working for the President or Kingpin.
- The Leak: Val enters a dimly lit room in Latveria (yes, Latveria). She apologizes for the team’s failure to secure the asset.
- The Reveal: A figure steps out of the shadows. He’s wearing a green hood and a polished metal mask, but he takes it off. It’s Robert Downey Jr. Not as Tony Stark, but as Victor Von Doom.
- The Line: Allegedly, he looks at the failed Thunderbolts roster on a screen and says, “Fine. I’ll do it myself,” mirroring Thanos, before the screen cuts to black.
If this is real, Marvel is pulling the trigger on Doomsday earlier than we thought. It means the Thunderbolts aren’t just government stooges; they are unknowing pawns in Doom’s plan to destabilize the world before he takes over. Seeing RDJ back on screen this May—a full year before Avengers 5—would be the box office atomic bomb Marvel desperately needs. Verdict: Hype Level 1000.
Is bringing RDJ back this early a desperate move to save the MCU, or is it pure genius? Tell me if you’re hyped or tired of the Stark face in the comments.
