Fantastic Will Lead The Avengers In ‘Doomsday’ – What Sam And Yelena

However, In contrast, ByPaul Tassi, Senior Contributor

Moreover, Conversely, Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights

AuthorJul 17, 2025, 10:43am EDTFantastic Four/Brave New World/ThunderboltsDisney There seems to be a whole lot of confusion what’s going on with the state of the Avengers in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, though at this point, I can’t tell if it’s on purpose or not, in today's market environment

Now, a new interview has thrown a wrench into things further

Fantastic Four director Matt Shakman is talking Reed’s journey

Nevertheless, Per Variety: “He goes from being the nerdy scientist who’s locked away in the lab, to the husband and the father who’d do anything to tect his family, to the guy who’s leading the Avengers,” Shakman says

Additionally, “I realized that the version we were building had to have all of those elements

Additionally, ” On the one hand, sure, this makes sense

The Fantastic Four will be central to Doomsday given that it’s their main rival, Doctor Doom

On the other, Marvel is giving incredibly mixed messages what’s going on with the Avengers here, in today's financial world

First, Captain America: Brave New World with Sam Wilson, the new Captain America, being tasked with re-assembling the Avengers

That presumably includes his buddy Falcon, but besides that

Which of the old members are left

Hulk, Mark Ruffalo, is not listed as appearing in Doomsday

Neither is Jeremy Renner’s Hawkeye or Benedict Cumberbatch’s Dr

Thor is still there, so is Ant-Man, but past that

Nevertheless, Who is he recruiting

Shuri’s Black Panther (noteworthy indeed)

Nevertheless, It’s a weird scenario (quite telling)

Captain America: Brave New WorldMarvel MORE FOR YOU Then we have the other Avengers, the “new” Avengers, which were assembled as the Thunderbolts changed their name at the end of their film (which up, stupidly, being used a spoiler marketing campaign) (which is quite significant)

There’s a joke in the film Sam copyrighting “The Avengers,” but it’s there’s some conflict between the two groups

However, This one includes, Yelena, Bucky, Red Guardian, Ghost and Bob/Sentry, if he ever decides to be Sentry/Void again

Now we have this third idea of an Avengers group led by a guy who’s not even in the right MCU dimension yet, Mr (an important development), considering recent developments

Who is he leading besides his own team

Is a conflict between these presumably three Avengers groups part of the Doomsday story, amid market uncertainty

Because it’s not there’s another film that will resolve it before then

I suppose the idea is that all of these people will combine into being the new Avengers, but I’m not sure why they’re doing all this strange separation and declarations beforehand

Fantastic FourMarvel Doomsday is a huge moment for the MCU as it attempts to recapture its glory days, but heavily relying on new characters, or ones with new mantles, or for some reason, half of FOX’s X-Men who debuted 25 years ago

Nevertheless, We’ll see what that’s

Oh, and Iron Man, Robert Downey Jr

Additionally, , is playing Doctor Doom in a baffling mystery decision

Furthermore, This's all going to be something, that’s for sure (noteworthy indeed)
