At the moment, there are 6 universes that we will see in <strong>Avengers: Doomsday<\/strong>. Those are: Main MCU, Fantastic Four, X-Men Universe, Doom\u2019s Original Universe, Tobey Maguire\u2019s Spider-Man Universe, and a pocket dimension (though I might be describing that last one incorrectly; it\u2019s basically \u201cthe universe that\u2019s hidden away\u201d).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Michael: <\/strong>In <strong>Avengers: Doomsday<\/strong>, we all know that Earth-10005 has replaced Earth 1616 as the Earth that\u2019s colliding with the main Marvel Earth (616\/199999), Loki is taking the place of The Beyonders from the original comic, and that T\u2019Challa will not be involved (RIP). What other deviations and changes have been made from the original <strong>Time Runs Out<\/strong> comic in order to, for lack of a better phrase, fit better on screen?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Alex Perez: <\/strong>Not necessarily <strong>Time Runs Out<\/strong> alone, but the Black Priests, Black Swans, and the Builders. Also, technically, we get a form of Illuminati 2.0, though they don\u2019t call themselves that.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-19392 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/doctor-strange-fantastic-four-multiverse-illuminati-secret-wars.jpg\" alt=\"doctor-strange-fantastic-four-multiverse-illuminati-secret-wars\" width=\"626\" height=\"537\"  \/>(Marvel Comics)<\/p>\n<p><strong>walker (or rayne): <\/strong>Hey Alex, thanks for doing these as always. Do you think we\u2019ll get any other projects set on Battleworld?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Alex Perez: <\/strong>I hope we do, but I really doubt it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>walker (or rayne): <\/strong>You\u2019ve recently teased that some heroes will fall into morally grey areas in <strong>Doomsday<\/strong>; can you give us a hint on who some of those heroes might be?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Alex Perez: <\/strong>The X-Men for sure. Those guys have made some unbelievably dubious choices, but you can\u2019t really blame them because they\u2019ve had no choice.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Hunter j: <\/strong>Hi Alex, I hope your day is doing good. Will we see all of the legacy Marvel actors like <strong>Eric Bana, Nicolas Cage, Ben Affleck,<\/strong> et cetera in <strong>Secret Wars<\/strong>?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Alex Perez: <\/strong>Only<strong> Tobey Maguire<\/strong> and<strong> Andrew Garfield<\/strong> are reportedly appearing in these movies in terms of Legacy characters at the moment. I have heard <strong>Nicolas Cage\u2019s<\/strong> Ghost Rider and<strong> Ben Affleck\u2019s<\/strong> Daredevil thrown around, though I\u2019m not entirely sure if there has been any progress on that front.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Astropologetic: <\/strong>Hello Alex and Lizzie, hope yall are having an amazing time. Thanks a lot for giving us the opportunity to ask this month. In the past, it has been said that Doom will have allies at his side, including a coven of witches. Is there anything special or outstanding that we can know about this coven?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Alex Perez: <\/strong>Coven\u2019s an overstatement. He\u2019ll have a few witches on his side and individuals that can perform magic, but it\u2019s not really a coven of witches like we\u2019ve seen in <strong>Agatha All Along.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Astropologetic: <\/strong>Is there anything, and I mean anything, that you find very interesting or exciting about <strong>Avengers: Doomsday<\/strong> that has not been mentioned \/ leaked in the past?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Alex Perez: <\/strong>The opening sequence really is a spectacle on its own. It\u2019s like a kid was given a sandbox, threw his toys in, and just said, \u201cLet your imagination run wild.\u201d And it serves very well to establish the very real threat of incursions. Because no one, not even your favorites, is safe.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-55938 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/sam-wilson-brave-new-world-jpg-ezgif.com-webp-to-jpg-converter-e1739394953383.jpg\" alt=\"Anthony Mackie as Sam Wilson (Captain America) in Captain America: Brave New World\" width=\"640\" height=\"400\"  \/>Anthony Mackie as Sam Wilson (Captain America) in Captain America: Brave New World (Marvel\/Disney)<\/p>\n<p><strong>CalmTitan: <\/strong>Hello, Alex &amp; Lizzie! Does the movie spend any time establishing Sam\u2019s Avengers before the main plot kicks in, or are they just thrown together and expected to work as a team?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Alex Perez: <\/strong>Is it really the Avengers if it\u2019s just two of them when we start?<\/p>\n<p><strong>CalmTitan: <\/strong>You and other insiders have agreed that the fight between Cyclops and SamCap \u201cin particular, is going to be very good.\u201d Is this still true, or did things change in-between edits\/reshoots of the movie?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Alex Perez: <\/strong>The Avengers vs. X-Men fight is still very good overall and one of the few highlights of the film before everyone gets forced to calm down.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Loo-e-Gee: <\/strong>Hello! Thanks for doing these! My simple question: is <strong>Tom Holland<\/strong> going to be in <strong>Doomsday<\/strong> in any capacity? Small part? Cameo? Anything at all?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Alex Perez: <\/strong>Some sources say yes. Some sources say no. Some don\u2019t even know. What I have been told is that at the moment, <strong>Tom Holland<\/strong> doesn\u2019t appear to be in <strong>Avengers: Doomsday<\/strong>\u00a0but is being saved up for <strong>Secret Wars.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Connor: <\/strong>Hi Alex and Lizzie, hope all is well. Back in April, you teased the Word of God, a magical book that Doom will be using in <strong>Avengers: Doomsday.<\/strong> Will this book have anything to do with how he gains more power throughout the movie, or is it something that he has already had and used?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Alex Perez: <\/strong>Doom has a large collection of trinkets and items he has been collecting throughout his adventures. It\u2019s why he\u2019s so powerful, even without Loki\u2019s abilities to make him a god.<\/p>\n<p><strong>starbrite: <\/strong>Hey, this is my first time asking questions on here. First, I want to say thank you so much for doing this and sharing any info with us. I remember in a previous one you said Yelena is Bob\u2019s person in <strong>Doomsday<\/strong>; could you elaborate on that and how their relationship is? Also, will Bob also have any closeness with any of the other New Avengers?<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-66253 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/yelena-bob-thunderbolts-14530234385254597330-e1782483665504.jpg\" alt=\"Two people sitting on the floor in a dimly lit room, holding hands and talking.\" width=\"640\" height=\"384\"\/>Florence Pugh and Lewis Pullman as Yelena and Bob in Thunderbolts* (Marvel\/Disney)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Alex Perez: <\/strong>Sure. So, I don\u2019t want people to think of it as a sort of romantic undertone, though there is a partial tension there. It\u2019s more along the lines of Yelena being the one who understands Bob the most. Sure, he\u2019s friendly to the New Avengers, but if Yelena were in trouble, Bob would literally burn down Heaven and Earth for her to save her.<\/p>\n<p>Hell, here\u2019s an in-movie example. During the movie, Bob really doesn\u2019t want to use his Sentry powers to avoid risking unleashing the Void. But later on, with Yelena\u2019s help, he willingly uses his powers to try to save the multiverse, knowing full well the risk he\u2019s taking that he\u2019ll become the Void and kill everyone. And the only reason he agrees is because Yelena asks him to.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Avengers: Secret Wars<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>good soup: <\/strong>In <strong>Secret Wars<\/strong> or a theoretical part 3 of the saga, do you think we\u2019ll get to see Bob and Wanda team up in some capacity or talk with each other? Basically, I\u2019m just wondering if they\u2019ll have any kind of relationship in these movies. Thanks!!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Alex Perez: <\/strong>Doubtful.<\/p>\n<p><strong>eme: <\/strong>Hey Alex and Lizzie! Thank you for having us. Is Peggy going to be in<strong> Secret Wars<\/strong>?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Alex Perez: <\/strong>I could see her being a part of Doom\u2019s court.<\/p>\n<p><strong>icast05: <\/strong>Hey Alex, hope you\u2019re doing well! I don\u2019t really have any specific questions; I was just wondering if there were any cool tidbits you might\u2019ve heard about<strong> Avengers: Secret Wars<\/strong> recently.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Alex Perez: <\/strong>Just the exploration of a two-parter. I can confirm through sources and evidence provided recently that the <strong>Russos<\/strong> have another Avengers film that they\u2019re working on aside from <strong>Doomsday <\/strong>and<strong> Secret Wars. <\/strong>Based on their statements, there\u2019s a chance it\u2019ll involve splitting<strong> Secret Wars<\/strong> into two; however, it could also be the next Avengers installment.<\/p>\n<p><strong>cosmicriver: <\/strong>Hi Alex and Lizzie, thank you for this once again. Hope you are all well. Will <strong>Secret Wars<\/strong> give us any \u201cpassing the mantle\u201d scenes or moments from one character to another?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Alex Perez: <\/strong>Too early to tell, but I don\u2019t think so to be honest.<\/p>\n<p><strong>That\u2019s the end of part 1 of Alex Perez\u2019s June 2026 Q&amp;A!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Part 2 will be available in a few days.
