Doom's also a fuckin sorcerer that can go toe to toe with Strange. He's kinda the perfect villain for this Saga of the MCU.
Avengers Kang Dynasty (May 2025) and Avengers Secret Wars (November 2025) announced

Are there any rumours/ideas for director?
Russos would be an obvious shout after their desire to do Secret Wars and underwhelming outside of MCU, but it's an arduous, stressful undertake that may be too soon even with 5 years away.
Fake edit: And now I've just looked up that apparently Feige said they won't be directing these.
Whedon's obviously a no-go now.
If they want MCU experience: Jon Watts?
Outsiders: Joseph Kosinski?

Most of the folks I know in that age range have watched both Game of Thrones and Stranger Things. Both combined more than the runtime of all Marvel movies. If folks can find the time to watch long TV series, they can easily catch up on the MCU.
He uses the name Nathaniel Richards but the comics have never actually confirmed he's Reed's descendant. The possibility of him actually being Doom's have been raised before.
All I've got to say here is that I love Jonathan Majors and man he's gonna be everywhere isn't he? I'm really excited that we're probably going to see him as so many different variants of HWR/Kang with different personalities. That's gotta be a hell of a job to land as an actor. Sounds fun lol.
I'll be surprised if they don't also try to get some of Fox's X-Men cast back— they will for sure throw money at Hugh Jackman until he agrees to make an appearance, and I'm sure Ryan Reynolds will appear as Deadpool too. And hell, may as well throw in Sony's Spider-Man-adjacent characters too (Venom, Morbius, etc.).
maybe, but they could also just not use them and come up with some other cosmic force that Kang wants to get his hands on and Doom ends up stealing for himself
I hope that we somehow get this absolutely baffling conversation between Doom and Kang on the big screen.
I'm gonna need Doom to rip Kang's spine out right after.
I could see them bringing back Thanos, or an alternate version, to team up with the Avengers for this.
Daniels. 'Everything Everywhere All At Once' was fantastic. co-produced by the Russos so a similar setup might still keep them involved.
Great choice. Though if I were Feige, I'd test them out on a smaller project first before tossing them into something as huge as Avengers.
Would be sensible. But to be honest, I think they'll be fine. The Russo's didnt have much 'relevant' big budget action experience before Winter Soldier, I think its safe to say that EEAAO pretty much blows every MCU movie out of the water regarding its creativity and editing and sheer ambition of it all (while clearly working on a much smaller budget).
This is some fan made poster but damn I got hard imagining this

That's a neat design idea for the black suit, and I don't even like the black suit. (Probably the wrong Secret Wars though)
I doubt The Daniels would really be interested in doing a big studio movie like that. They are super-weird and work best when they're allowed to be super-weird and Marvel Studios definitely won't give them that, especially not in a big Avengers movie.
