Warning: This post contains potential spoilers for Avengers: Doomsday.
A new Avengers: Doomsday plot leak reveals that Reed Richards and Doctor Doom are reportedly working on a plan to stop the multiverse Incursions.
According to scooper MyTimeToShineHello, Reed and Doom’s plan involves splitting the heroes into separate teams. Each team, including the Fantastic Four, the New Avengers, the X-Men, and Captain America’s team, would be sent to a different Earth across the multiverse.
The heroes’ mission would be to build a special cannon on each world, and these cannons are said to play a major role in saving reality. The plan reportedly involves firing a device or energy that separates universes from one another.
“An Avengers: Doomsday plot leak claims that Reed and Doom’s plan to stop the Incursions is to split the heroes into teams, each tasked with building a special cannon on different Earths. The cannons would then fire something that separates the universes from each other.”
In Doomsday, Steve Rogers’ move to the Fantastic Four universe caused the incursions. Doctor Doom then becomes obsessed with stopping them after a failed experiment kills his family and leaves him disfigured.
In Avengers: Doomsday, Reed Richards and Doctor Doom are portrayed as two geniuses with very different ideas on how to save the multiverse. They are described as two sides of the same coin. While Doctor Doom has real experience with Incursions and understands the threat firsthand, Reed has only studied the concept from a theoretical perspective.

We hear the words, “Something’s coming. Something we may not be able to deter,” over the ruins of the X-Mansion.
We see Doctor Doom kneeling, his face scarred.
Thor remarks that he has fought many enemies and threats that scared him less than this, saying all his heroes and friends have died. Everything they sacrificed will mean nothing if they don’t stand together.
We see footage of Thor approaching Doom with Stormbreaker. The Fantastic Four meet the MCU heroes. Shang-Chi fights Gambit. Mystique transforms into Yelena Belova.
Thor leaps at Doom with Stormbreaker in hand, but Doom stops it instantly.
Steve Rogers approaches Thor and says, “Hey, pal.” Thor replies, “It’s not possible.” Steve reaches for Mjolnir, and it leaves Thor’s hand and flies to him.
Directed by the Russo brothers from a screenplay by their longtime collaborator Stephen McFeely and Michael Waldron.
