00:00In 2022, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness showed us a secret chamber, a circle of
00:06heroes, and one empty chair. Four years later, Robert Downey Jr. is about to walk into the
00:12biggest Marvel movie ever made as Doctor Doom, and a theory is spreading that Doom never arrived
00:18late to this story at all. It says he's been hiding in the MCU since Multiverse of Madness,
00:24that he may be the reason one Wolverine lost his entire team, and that his plan reaches all the
00:30way to Tobey Maguire, Andrew Garfield, and two different Scarlet Witches. Some of that is pure
00:36fan theory. Some of it collides head-on with what the movies actually told us. Let's separate the
00:42two. First, where things actually stand. Avengers. Doomsday arrives December 18th,
00:482026, with Robert Downey Jr. as Doom. Marvel has confirmed one thing about his forces.
00:55At San Diego Comic-Con this summer, it revealed Latverian witches fighting beside him. Almost
01:01everything else you're about to hear comes from leakers and fan theory, and Marvel hasn't confirmed
01:06any of it. So I'll tell you what's confirmed, what's rumor, and where this theory runs into trouble.
01:12Now, start in 2022. In Multiverse of Madness, Doctor Strange visits Earth 838, a world run by the
01:20Illuminati. Patrick Stewart's Charles Xavier sits in that circle, which means mutants exist there too.
01:27The chamber also has an empty chair the movie never explains. Fans have wondered ever since who it
01:33belonged to. One long-running fan theory has an answer. Victor Von Doom. Here's where the video's
01:39theory takes off. One year later, Earth 838's Wanda allegedly joins forces with that world's
01:46doom, and together they build an army of anti-mutant doombots. Their first target is the X-Mansion.
01:53Comic readers will hear an echo of House of M, where Wanda says, no more mutants. The team gets
02:00hunted down one by one. Everyone dies except Wolverine, who simply wasn't home. Why him? Because of
02:08Deadpool and Wolverine. The Logan we met there was bitter, drinking, and buried in guilt because he'd
02:15refused to be the hero his teammates wanted and then lost every one of them. The theory says that
02:21Logan is Earth 838's last Wolverine and that his guilt hides a personal grudge against Wanda and Doom.
02:29It's a clever idea, and it hits a wall quickly. Deadpool and Wolverine already tells us how his team
02:35died. Humans, fueled by anti-mutant hatred, stormed the mansion while he was away. Kevin Feige has also
02:43confirmed he's a variant of Logan, not the one who died in 2017, and nothing on screen mentions Wanda
02:49or Doom. So this theory only works if Marvel rewrites the story that movie told. Possible? Sure.
02:57Supported? Not yet. So here's where people split. Does this make Wolverine's tragedy deeper,
03:03or does it erase one of the best things that movie did? Be honest, and tell me in the comments.
03:09Now for the part with real smoke around it. Multiple leakers say Doomsday opens with two
03:14universes colliding. Earth 1005, the Fox X-Men's world, and the Earth of Tobey Maguire's Spider-Man.
03:22Earth 1005, by the way, is the label Marvel gave the X-Men universe in Deadpool and Wolverine,
03:29the world Wade and his new Wolverine ended up protecting. According to the reports,
03:34Deadpool and Wolverine are sent to Tobey's Earth to stop the collision. They fight Spider-Man,
03:40Magneto drops bombs, and that Earth is destroyed. In one version, Deadpool escapes through a TVA portal
03:47while Tobey and Wolverine are left behind. That's the incursion the video describes,
03:52with Wolverine on the wrong side of it. But the reports disagree on what comes next.
03:57One claims Wolverine and Tobey get about three minutes of screen time before dying.
04:02Others have them surviving. And officially, Tobey isn't even in the cast.
04:07One insider adds that Jackman's Wolverine and Tobey's Spider-Man share a quest in Secret Wars,
04:14searching for something or someone. That's why fans picture the two leading a resistance against Doom.
04:20A resistance is plausible. A leadership role is a guess. And if this breakdown is helping,
04:27hit the like button. It helps more MCU fans find it. Which brings us to Wanda. In Multiverse of Madness,
04:34the Wanda who attacked the Illuminati wasn't Earth 838s. It was our Wanda, dreamwalking into her
04:41variance body, desperate to reach the suns she'd lost. She ended that film buried under Mount Wondagore.
04:48The theory says Earth 838's Doom sees footage of the massacre, tracks down the culprit,
04:54and learns she was another Wanda from another universe. That would show him an incursion had
04:59already started, with his own family at risk. From there, the video builds two Scarlet Witches in
05:05Doomsday. Earth 838's Wanda joining Doom, since both have lost their families, and Earth 616's Wanda
05:14arriving later. Their shared goal would be erasing the multiverse and building a new one where their
05:19loved ones are safe. So, what's real? Marvel revealed a Latverian Witch costume and a poster
05:26with three witches behind Doom. Marvel hasn't said who they are. Insiders have floated Wanda,
05:32Peggy Carter, and Maria Rambeau variants, and even those are only theories. Two Wandas? No confirmation.
05:39The video then says Doom would target any hero who can travel through time or across universes,
05:46since they could stop Battleworld. It points to the tension promo material has teased between Doom
05:51and Steve Rogers. And if Doom brings them back on Battleworld, he could erase their memories and
05:57make them serve him, which might be crueler than killing them. Again, theory. Then, there's the
06:03funniest rumor of all. Doom's forces are crushing the heroes. A famous hero theme starts playing.
06:10Everyone turns, expecting a legend. It's Deadpool, holding a Bluetooth speaker, blasting Tobey Maguire's
06:17Spider-Man theme. I looked for outside reporting on that scene and couldn't find any. It fits Deadpool
06:23perfectly, but until a credible scooper backs it up, it's a rumor. So, what happens to Wolverine afterward?
06:30Hugh Jackman is expected back for Doomsday and Secret Wars, but there's a new report about a
06:36possible recast. The latest rumor, from the outlet Cartier Films, says Ryan Reynolds is writing an
06:42Alpha Flight project, which could fold into Deadpool 4 or standalone, and that Marvel is looking at actors
06:49for a new Wolverine. Alpha Flight is the Canadian team Wolverine belonged to in the comics before the
06:55X-Men, which makes it a natural place to introduce him. Marvel hasn't announced any of it. The video
07:02imagines both Wolverines coexisting, with Jackman mentoring the younger one. That's pure speculation,
07:08but it's a good one. Would you want that? Or would you rather Jackman be the only Logan? Tell me
07:14below.
07:15Last piece, Andrew Garfield. Remember No Way Home, when the three Spider-Men compared the villains they'd
07:22faced? Andrew's Peter said he'd like to fight an alien. That film's post-credits scene later left
07:28a piece of symbiote behind. One insider claimed Andrew will fight an alien in Secret Wars and that
07:35Toby and Andrew both return, but separated. Many fans read that as Venom. The video goes further. Andrew
07:43fights both Thanos and a symbiote. Tom Holland's Spider-Man falls under its influence, and Doom wants
07:50Peter because Spider-Man anchors Earth 616. The alien fight has that one rumor behind it. The Thanos fight
07:57and Doom's interest in Peter I couldn't find backed anywhere. And there's a wrinkle. Garfield flatly
08:04denied being in Brand New Day or Doomsday, though he's also admitted lying about No Way Home. So how much
08:12do you trust his denials? One more quick favor. If you've made it this far, like the video. It tells
08:18YouTube this kind of breakdown is worth showing to more people. Put it all together, and the theory
08:24imagines one long chain. No Way Home, Multiverse of Madness, Deadpool and Wolverine, Doomsday, and Secret
08:31Wars. It's a fun chain, but so far only a few links hold weight. The witches are confirmed. The collision
08:38between the Fox X-Men and Spider-Man's world is a well-reported leak. Doom hiding since 2022?
08:45That's a story fans built. So tell me, has Doom been pulling strings since Multiverse of Madness,
08:51and would you want Jackman and Tobey leading the resistance in Secret Wars?
