They’ve done this earlier for various offerings, but this database is particularly important because it whitethorn corroborate immoderate theories astir what aliases who whitethorn show up successful Doomsday, characters that person not been announced. Some movies person zero announced characters successful Doomsday astatine all, which is highly suspicious.

Here’s the list, on pinch explanations of why they are there, aliases why they mightiness be.

X-Men (2000) – I mean, it’s the preamble to FOX X-Men

X2 (2003) – Arguably the champion X-Men movie they made

Captain America: The First Avenger (2011) – We cognize Steve and Peggy are successful this, and they besides person a kid together.

Loki Seasons 1-2 (2021-2023) – The only show connected this list, which is benignant of saying thing astir D+ series’ relevancy to the larger MCU. Though ending connected a somewhat cleanable note, Loki is backmost pinch god-tier power. Interestingly, contempt Thor being 1 of the biggest leads successful Doomsday, location are nary circumstantial Thor movies connected this list.

Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings (2021) – Well, this shows you who Shang-Chi is, fixed that he has not been seen astatine each since this movie was released and he’s a portion of Doomsday.

Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021) – Huh, well, this is interesting. We person zero confirmation of immoderate Spider-Man successful this movie. This movie is based astir the multiverse, which is simply a conception of Doomsday, of course, but this could corroborate immoderate rumors that (maybe spoilers) Doom kills Tobey Maguire’s Spidey successful the Raimi universe. Or that Tom Holland is showing up successful immoderate capacity.

Captain America: Brave New World (2025) – Oof. What a miss from Marvel, 1 of its only Rotten-scored movies ever. It felt for illustration a Hulk movie that Sam’s Captain America was jammed into. I opportunity skip this and watch the overmuch amended Falcon and the Winter Soldier instead, which besides serves arsenic an preamble to US Agent from Thunderbolts.

Thunderbolts (2025) – And yeah, well, Thunderbolts. The rag-tag squad has been declared the New Avengers arsenic what is efficaciously a PR campaign, but we cognize Florence Pugh’s Yelena, now officially called Black Widow successful Brand New Day, is going to person a large part. Marvel loves her.
