A wave of new MCU rumors has painted a clearer picture of Marvel’s next big saga and its potential casualties. From a classic X-Men villain’s grand setup to shocking Avengers: Doomsday deaths and surprise casting talks, here’s everything the latest scoops revealed.
Latest batch of Marvel rumors teases Apocalypse and more
Marvel’s next saga villain may have just been revealed. New scoops also cover Doomsday deaths, casting talks, and a mystery detective series.
Apocalypse Set Up as the Mutant Saga’s Overarching Villain
Insider @MyTimeToShineHello posted that Mister Sinister “is also working for Apocalypse” in the MCU’s X-Men reboot. The scooper added that Apocalypse “will reportedly have a cameo, setting him up as the big bad of the next Saga.” Adam Driver plays Mister Sinister, while the ancient mutant looms as a Thanos-level threat.
Fan Theories Point to Multiple X-Men Deaths in Avengers: Doomsday
Insider James Mack previously claimed that “3 X-Men and 2 Avengers” will die in the film. He also stated that only characters killed during the final Incursion collision will return for Secret Wars. Fans now speculate that Charles Xavier, Mystique, Beast, and Nightcrawler face the chopping block.
Doctor Doom Allegedly Tears Off Bucky Barnes’ Arm
Mack also shared a brutal Doomsday detail about Doctor Doom and Bucky Barnes. The villain reportedly tears off Bucky’s flesh-and-blood arm, not his metal one. Marvel has not confirmed this claim.
Bill Skarsgard and Wagner Moura Eyed for MCU Roles
@MyTimeToShineHello noted that Skarsgård “is in talks to play another role in the MCU” after missing out on Xavier. The scooper also added that “Wagner Moura is still up for a big role in the MCU.” Both actors could land X-Men reboot parts as casting continues.
Heroes for Hire Detective Series Takes Shape
Multiple scoopers report that Luke Cage and Iron Fist will anchor Marvel Television’s detective project. Daniel Richtman debunked earlier speculation that Taskmaster would lead the series.
As always, none of these rumors have official confirmation from Marvel Studios.
