The Marvel Cinematic Universe has a leak problem, and honestly? We are absolutely here for it. But the latest massive scoop regarding Avengers: Doomsday isn’t just another blurry set photo or a meaningless post-credits tease. This is a narrative nuke. If the current wave of industry rumors holds true, Kevin Feige is about to deliver the most emotionally devastating opening sequence in comic book movie history.
Forget the nostalgia-baiting cameos where legacy characters just walk through a portal, smile, and deliver a catchphrase. The MCU is playing for keeps, and they are bringing the godfathers of modern superhero cinema together for a bloodbath.
The Leak We Refused to Believe
According to heavily circulated rumors from industry insiders (including scoops tied to the recent Doomsday and Secret Wars plot leaks), Avengers: Doomsday will open with a massive, tragic Multiversal “incursion.” For the uninitiated, an incursion is what happens when two universes collide—and the only way to save one is to completely annihilate the other.
The leak suggests that Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine and Ryan Reynolds’ Deadpool are forced to travel to another universe to destroy it so their own timeline can survive. Their target? Earth-96283.
Yes. The Sam Raimi universe. Tobey Maguire’s universe.
The opening act of Doomsday reportedly features a desperate, brutal fight to the death between Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine and Tobey Maguire’s Spider-Man.
Why This Changes MCU History Forever
Let the gravity of that sink in. Hugh Jackman and Tobey Maguire essentially birthed the modern era of superhero movies with X-Men (2000) and Spider-Man (2002). We’ve spent two decades begging to see them share the screen. But instead of a triumphant team-up against Doctor Doom, Marvel is forcing them into a tragic, no-win scenario where fans are forced to watch two beloved childhood heroes try to murder each other for the survival of their respective worlds.
Here is why this leaked sequence is pure cinematic genius:
- The Stakes Are Real: Deadpool & Wolverine gave us the laughs. Doomsday is bringing the consequences. This proves the Multiverse isn’t just a gimmick; it’s a horror story.
- Peak Emotional Weight: Tobey’s Peter Parker is the ultimate symbol of responsibility. Watching an older, battered Peter fight to protect his Mary Jane and his New York against a feral Wolverine is Shakespearean levels of tragedy.
- The Illuminati Treatment: Just like Wanda wiping out the Fox universe variants in Multiverse of Madness, this establishes that no legacy character is safe.
Setting the Stage for Secret Wars
If Wolverine and Deadpool actually succeed in destroying the Raimi universe, it perfectly sets up the broken, desperate tone needed for the arrival of Robert Downey Jr.’s Doctor Doom. It gives Tobey’s Spider-Man (who is rumored to survive the collapse and end up in the Void or Battleworld) a massive, dark character arc heading into the rumored two-part Avengers: Secret Wars. He won’t just be the “cool older brother” Spider-Man we saw in No Way Home—he will be a grieving, vengeful survivor.
THE VERDICT
If Marvel Studios actually has the guts to pull this off, it will be the greatest, most shocking opening act since Thanos choked out Loki in Infinity War. It transforms a “fun cameo” into a devastating plot device that anchors the entire Multiverse Saga in raw, human stakes. We aren’t ready for Tobey vs. Hugh, but we will absolutely be there on opening night.
