The wait for Avengers: Doomsday is ticking down, and it already feels like one of the biggest cinematic storms Marvel has ever kicked up. Marvel says the film will reshape the universe and help guide the Multiverse Saga to its explosive end. But even before trailers drop, fans are feeling uneasy. The excitement is real, but so are the fault lines forming around five major concerns that keep coming up across the MCU community.
Marvel Loads the Film With a Massive Ensemble
Part of what makes Doomsday so intriguing is its enormous cast. Marvel is bringing back heavy hitters that fans never thought they would see again. Robert Downey Jr. (Tony Stark), Tom Hiddleston (Loki), Chris Hemsworth (Thor), Florence Pugh (Yelena Belova), Sebastian Stan (Bucky Barnes), and Patrick Stewart (Professor X) headline the roster, and Marvel still hasn’t revealed everyone involved.
This kind of lineup once lived purely in fan wishlists. Characters from different eras and timelines finally get the chance to collide, sparking endless theories. The Multiverse opened the door to bold storytelling choices, and Marvel clearly plans to push it as far as they can.
But even a cast this strong can’t distract fans from what’s worrying them.
The MCU Multiverse Still Feels Hard to Follow
The most significant pain point remains the Multiverse itself. Marvel built its entire saga on alternate versions of characters, realities folding in on themselves, and timelines branching out in ways that are hard to track. Fans have repeatedly stated that the rules feel loose, and the stakes sometimes seem unclear.
Doomsday plans to expand those mechanics even further, which raises one big question: Can the story stay emotional when a variant can replace a fallen hero at any moment? Viewers want to be moved—not confused.
Kang’s Future Casts a Shadow
Another lingering concern is Kang’s incomplete arc. He entered the MCU as the Multiverse Saga’s big villain, appearing in Loki and Quantumania as a terrifying force. But since then, Marvel’s direction with him has felt uncertain.
Fans are now unsure whether Kang remains the central threat or if the studio pivoted away from him entirely. That lack of clarity affects how people view Doomsday, because it’s harder to feel invested when the villain hierarchy seems unclear.
The Avengers Haven’t Been Rebuilt
That uncertainty feeds into a bigger emotional question: who exactly is leading the MCU right now? Since Avengers: Endgame (2019), the franchise hasn’t fully rebuilt a united Avengers team. Iron Man and Captain America left enormous shoes to fill, and fans still feel the loss.
The newer heroes—Sam Wilson, Thor, Spider-Man, and Doctor Strange—continue to carry their own stories, but without a cohesive team dynamic guiding the universe. Even with mentions of the Thunderbolts stepping into that space, the emotional connection just isn’t the same. Before Doomsday can land its biggest punches, it needs a team that feels truly bonded again.
Wanda’s Missing Chapter Leaves Fans Worried
Wanda Maximoff’s unresolved arc is another central sticking point. After Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (2022), her fate was left intentionally unclear. Fans don’t know whether she died, lived, or stepped away to regroup. With no follow-up, her story remains one of the MCU’s most significant open wounds.
As speculation grows about her role in Doomsday, fans hope Marvel gives her the depth and attention she deserves—not a rushed return or an ignored storyline.
Power Levels Still Feel All Over the Place
The final concern ties into something fans have noticed for years: inconsistent power scaling. Heroes like Doctor Strange, Captain Marvel, Wanda, and Thor undergo significant changes in strength depending on the plot. That inconsistency makes it harder for fans to understand how major threats stack up.
With such a large cast, Doomsday must avoid repeating that imbalance. If one character becomes overly dominant or inexplicably sidelined, the discussion online will be loud.
Looking Ahead to Doomsday
Avengers: Doomsday carries massive potential but also a lot of unresolved issues from the MCU’s recent years. The Multiverse confusion, Kang uncertainty, a scattered team, Wanda’s missing chapter, and shaky power scaling already have fans debating what the film can realistically deliver. If Marvel tackles these concerns head-on, Doomsday could become a standout moment for the franchise. If not, it risks deepening the divides already forming.
Either way, everyone’s watching as Doomsday approaches.
