In a major development for Marvel fans, newly leaked plot details for Avengers: Doomsday—the rebranded version of Avengers: The Kang Dynasty—have revealed that the film will feature distinct Avengers teams battling across the multiverse. Each team plays a critical role in what promises to be one of the MCU’s most ambitious narratives yet.
Team 1: The Earth-616 Avengers — MCU’s Core Heroes
This team comprises the current heroes of the main MCU timeline. Leaks suggest that they will take the first stand against the Council of Kangs, only to suffer a crushing defeat reminiscent of Avengers: Infinity War.
Rumored members include:
- Captain America (Sam Wilson)
- Black Panther (Shuri)
- Shang-Chi
- Captain Marvel
- Spider-Man (Tom Holland)
- She-Hulk
- Moon Knight
- Ms. Marvel
- Kate Bishop
- Ant-Man and the Wasp
- Hulk
- Thor
This team’s battle sets the stage for the multiversal reinforcements to arrive.
Team 2: Street-Level Heroes (Rumored Roster)
These characters typically operate in cities like New York and are more grounded in realism:
Daredevil (Matt Murdock) – The Man Without Fear, rumored to have a major role thanks to the Born Again series.
Spider-Man (Tom Holland) – Post-No Way Home, he’s returned to his street roots and could lead this group.
Echo (Maya Lopez) – With powers linked to the Phoenix and street-level combat skills.
Jessica Jones – A PI with super strength and trauma baggage, perfect for the dark urban grind.
Luke Cage – Bulletproof and community-focused, a natural anchor for the team.
Punisher (Frank Castle) – A wildcard, but his ruthless efficiency could come into play against Kang’s minions.
Iron Fist – If Marvel reboots him properly, his mystic martial arts fit well in street-level battles.
Moon Knight – If not with Team 1, he fits just as well here, especially given his brutal tactics and mysticism.
Kate Bishop – Hawkeye’s protégé brings agility, arrows, and attitude.
As Earth-616 falls, the Time Variance Authority (TVA) steps in, assembling a team of legacy heroes and powerful variants from across the multiverse. This fan-service-heavy lineup is expected to be led by iconic characters from past Marvel films.
Confirmed by leaks:
- Tobey Maguire’s Spider-Man
- Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine
- Ryan Reynolds’ Deadpool
Additional rumored heroes may include:
- Andrew Garfield’s Spider-Man
- Nicolas Cage’s Ghost Rider
This multiverse dream team is being positioned as the ultimate weapon against the Kang threat.
Team 3: The Anchor Beings — Multiversal Pillars
Another rumored team involves so-called “Anchor Beings”, unique individuals tethered to the core fabric of their respective universes. These characters may hold the key to stabilizing the multiverse amid Kang’s chaos.
Potential Anchor Beings:
- Tom Holland’s Spider-Man
- Tobey Maguire’s Spider-Man
- Andrew Garfield’s Spider-Man
- Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine
- Nicolas Cage’s Ghost Rider
It’s unclear if this concept will survive the movie’s latest rewrites, but it reflects Marvel’s growing exploration of multiversal lore.
