Filming for Avengers: Doomsday has begun, and while it started at the end of March, images from its set have already leaked online. These photographs have revealed conversations between iconic X-Men characters and the appearance of a notable Marvel henchman hero.
Among the first images released, Wong, a character played by Benedict Wong, is seen, who was not part of the previously announced cast. His return has been confirmed, making him the first member added to a cast that already includes 27 characters. In the images, Wong appears to be conversing with Cyclops, portrayed by James Marsden, although the content of their conversation has not been clarified. Some fans speculate it may be related to a spaceship rumored to be built in the movie.
Some discussions on Reddit have suggested that this ship could be the Life Raft, a vehicle used in the comics to transport survivors during the destruction of the Marvel Multiverse. The film's directors have indicated that the plot will draw inspiration from the "Secret Wars" comic series, which adds credibility to this speculation.
In another leaked image, Scott Summers (Cyclops) is seen interacting with Magneto, played by Ian McKellen. Over the years, these characters have had a tense relationship in literature and on screen, so it is intriguing to see them in a more friendly context. However, there are rumors that Magneto may be looking to recruit Cyclops to join his group, the Brotherhood of Mutants, in order to combat human discrimination.
If these theories turn out to be true, it could be that Wong is trying to warn Cyclops about the dangerous paths that a confrontation between the X-Men and Avengers might take, in the context of multiversal incursions.
Avengers: Doomsday is scheduled to premiere on May 1, 2026, and more leaks are expected as production progresses.
