Avengers: Doomsday is undoubtedly going to be jam-packed with main character updates and attention-grabbing (and really advanced) relationship dynamics, not solely as a result of, in traditional Avengers film style, it’s bringing collectively characters from so many various motion pictures and exhibits, but additionally as a result of many of those characters are heading into this story with vital issues already. For instance, we already know that Bucky Barnes is heading up the New Avengers, which is probably going going to pit him immediately towards Sam Wilson, with whom he has at all times had a really sophisticated dynamic. There’s additionally the matter of Loki’s return and the query of whether or not he will probably be reunited together with his brother, Thor, who believes him to be actually lifeless at this level—and, it must be famous, he’s technically not improper, because the Loki whom Thor knew and beloved did die initially of Avengers: Infinity Warfare.
Including to those issues is the truth that Physician Doom is being launched to the combination, and he’s not solely going to make issues thornier as a result of he’s the villain. Somewhat, whereas his motivations stay considerably unknown for now (however we do know he’s accusing the Avengers of residing stolen lives in a single Doomsday trailer), there have already been hints that issues gained’t be as simple as they could appear. The truth is, it’s clear that Doom has some kind of deeper relationship with the primary characters of The Unbelievable 4: First Steps, Sue Storm and Reed Richards particularly. Within the trailer, Sue could be heard in voiceover saying that Doom was as soon as type and caring, and Reed asks Doom if he did “this,” though the “this” is at the moment unknown. Now, a brand new Doomsday rumor has urged that that is solely going to turn into much more advanced within the film.
Sue Will Reportedly Have a “Private” Relationship With Doom in Doomsday
It was already clear that Sue and Reed have been going to have a greater understanding of and extra familiarity with Doom than different characters in Doomsday, nevertheless it nonetheless nonetheless appeared like there was going to be a transparent “us versus him” divide, with Doom totally the villain and the assorted different MCU characters clearly the heroes. Nonetheless, a brand new rumor about Sue Storm has urged one thing a bit completely different, claiming that, in Doomsday, “Sue Storm will reportedly be put in a troublesome place of making an attempt to sympathize along with her good friend Physician Doom whereas additionally making an attempt to guard her household.” The submit about this rumor provides, “She’s one of many few characters with a private relationship with Doom who understands his motives.” It’s notably attention-grabbing to notice that Sue is particularly rumored to have sympathy for Doom, as that actually blurs the traces right here.
Granted, this isn’t a wholly new idea. Doom and Sue had a wierd relationship within the comics as effectively, with Doom even changing into the godfather of Sue and Reed’s daughter, Valeria, after saving her life earlier than she was born. Presumably, she’s not going to be a personality within the MCU, however this nonetheless displays a historical past of sophisticated dynamics—one thing that Doomsday will seemingly proceed. This might find yourself having a major impact on how the fanbase sees Sue, although. Primarily based on the trailer and this rumor, it feels like Sue’s emotions about Doom will probably be much more sophisticated than Reed’s. Proper now, Sue is a beloved character, however can that actually be maintained if she’s toeing the road with this brand-new villain?
