Doctor Doom Is Building His Army! Scarlet Witch Returns Ahead of Avengers: Doomsday
Marvel Studios is turning up the heat ahead of Avengers: Doomsday! With the December 18, 2026 theatrical release approaching, the studio is connecting the dots through theatrical re-releases, cryptic social media messages and surprising post-credit revelations.
And the latest developments suggest that Doctor Doom could be assembling an army of some of the most powerful beings in the Marvel Cinematic Universe!
From Hulk to Scarlet Witch: Doctor Doom’s Growing Army?
The Avengers: Endgame – Encore footage reportedly showed Doctor Doom approaching Bruce Banner, raising questions about his interest in the Hulk.
Now, the VisionQuest finale has delivered another major surprise!
Its post-credit scene revisits the destruction of Mount Wundagore from Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. This time, however, Doctor Doom appears, removes the rubble surrounding Wanda Maximoff and declares:
“Scarlet Witch, awaken. Your power will be mine.”
Wanda opens her eyes, confirming that her story isn’t over.
But what does Doom want with her?
With Hulk potentially in his grasp and Scarlet Witch now back in the picture, could Doom be collecting powerful individuals for his upcoming Multiversal war?
Marvel’s Cryptic 8-Bit Message Was Hiding a Wanda Clue!
Marvel Studios has also been playing with fans through mysterious binary messages on social media.
One cryptic 8-bit post translated into a particularly emotional line from WandaVision:
“We could never truly leave each other, even if we tried.”
The dialogue was spoken by Wanda to her sons, Billy and Tommy, during the series finale.
The timing of this message, just ahead of the VisionQuest finale, makes it even more interesting. Was Marvel quietly hinting at Wanda’s return all along?
Following the post-credit revelation, the message feels like more than a nostalgic callback. Marvel appears to be rewarding fans who pay attention to even the smallest promotional clues.
Doctor Doom’s Horsemen Theory and the Road to Secret Wars!
Could Hulk, Scarlet Witch and other powerful characters become Doctor Doom’s own version of the Four Horsemen?
It’s an intriguing fan theory. Hulk brings extraordinary physical strength, while Wanda’s chaos magic and reality-altering abilities could be crucial to Doom’s plans.
Meanwhile, the Multiverse is facing another enormous threat: incursions, where entire realities collide and face destruction.
Fans of Jonathan Hickman’s iconic New Avengers and Secret Wars comic book storyline will recognise where this could be heading. In the 2015 Secret Wars event, Doctor Doom ultimately becomes the ruler of Battleworld, a reality formed from the remains of destroyed universes.
Could Marvel be building towards a similar cinematic showdown?
With the Avengers, Fantastic Four and X-Men heading towards an unprecedented confrontation, Avengers: Doomsday could be the beginning of something much bigger.
Will Doctor Doom conquer the Multiverse? Will Wanda and Hulk fight alongside him or turn against him?
One thing is certain: Marvel is dropping clues, Doom is making his moves, and the road to Secret Wars is getting more exciting!
Avengers: Doomsday arrives in theatres on December 18, 2026. Cheers – Comics Byte!!
