It’s been a roller-coaster ride the last few years for Marvel fans, with amazing highs like Spider-Man: No Way Home, but brutal lows such as Secret Invasion. Everything has been leading to Marvel’s biggest blockbuster since Avengers: Endgame, though, and the stage is almost set for the release of Avengers: Doomsday later this year on December 18. The only feature film standing between now and Avengers: Doomsday later this year is Spider-Man: Brand New Day, which stars Tom Holland, Mark Ruffalo, and Jon Bernthal. There’s also a VisionQuest Disney Plus series starring Paul Bettany coming to streaming in October, only two months before Doomsday, but it’s unclear at this time how it will tie into the major tentpole. Doomsday isn’t the only big MCU project coming in the next few years that fans are excited about, though.
Almost exactly one year after the premiere of Avengers: Doomsday, Marvel Studios will return with another big blockbuster, Avengers: Secret Wars. The studio found a model with back-to-back Avengers movies one year apart, and it’s sticking to it. One of the most surprising additions to the Doomsday cast came when the first trailer premiered ahead of Avatar: Fire and Ash, and it was confirmed that Chris Evans would reprise his role as Steve Rogers in the film. As one of the longest-tenured Avengers on the roster, there is speculation that Evans’ Steve Rogers could meet his fate in Doomsday, but the man himself has confirmed this might not be the case. Evans recently revealed in an Instagram video that he “starts work on the next one,” meaning Avengers: Secret Wars, “in a couple of months.” He says he “can’t tell you how much I’m in the next one, but I’m in it.”

Your Hero Has Been Identified Your MCU Hero Is…
Based on your answers, the Marvel hero who matches your spirit, values, and instincts has been revealed.
Queens, New York
Spider-Man
You carry the weight of the world on shoulders that are younger than they should have to be — funny, loyal, and endlessly self-sacrificing.
You do the right thing not because it’s easy, but because no one else will.
You understand that responsibility isn’t a burden you choose — it’s one that finds you.
Whether it’s a neighbourhood mugging or a multiverse crisis, you show up.
Peter Parker’s lesson — that great power demands great responsibility — isn’t a slogan to you. It’s the code you live by, even when it costs you everything.
Hell’s Kitchen, New York
Daredevil
You fight in the shadows between law and chaos, guided by a fierce moral compass that refuses to let the guilty walk free.
You use every tool available — your mind, your body, your faith — to protect those the system overlooks.
You’ve looked into the darkness and chosen not to become it, though the line has never been easy.
Matt Murdock’s duality — champion in the courtroom, devil in the alley — mirrors your own.
Relentless, conflicted, and unwilling to stop. That is exactly you.
Stark Industries, Malibu
Iron Man
Brilliant, driven, and occasionally insufferable — but always the person who solves the unsolvable problem.
You lead with your mind and back it up with resources, innovation, and a stubbornness that borders on heroic.
You started out looking out for yourself, but somewhere along the way the world became your responsibility.
Tony Stark’s arc — from ego to sacrifice — is your arc too.
You build, you plan, and when the moment comes, you’re willing to give everything. Because in the end, you’re Iron Man.
New York City
The Punisher
You’ve been through fire that would break most people — and it did change you, completely. What’s left is unyielding, relentless, and operating by a code forged in grief.
You don’t ask for forgiveness, and you don’t expect gratitude.
You see a corrupt, broken world and you’ve decided to do something about it, consequences be damned.
Frank Castle’s war is born from love twisted by loss — and so is yours.
Uncompromising and unflinching — the world may not agree with your methods, but your conviction is absolute.
Asgard · Protector of the Nine Realms
Thor
Powerful, proud, and on a lifelong journey to become worthy of the legend you carry.
You lead with strength but have learned — sometimes painfully — that true greatness comes from humility and growth.
You’re larger than life, yet more vulnerable than you let on.
Thor’s story is one of transformation: from arrogant prince to worthy king, from isolated warrior to beloved protector.
You bring the storm when it’s needed — and the warmth when it matters just as much.
Brooklyn, New York · The Avengers
Captain America
You believe in something bigger than yourself — and you fight for it even when the world has moved on and nobody else will.
You don’t bully the small guy, and you never stop when it gets hard.
Steve Rogers didn’t become a hero when he got the serum — he was always one. So were you.
Your strength isn’t in your fists; it’s in your refusal to compromise what’s right, no matter the cost.
In a world full of people taking the easy road, you’re the one who picks up the shield and stands up — every single time.
What Does This Mean for ‘Avengers: Secret Wars’?
While this does confirm that Evans will have a role in Avengers: Secret Wars, it doesn’t necessarily mean that a variant of Steve Rogers won’t die in Avengers: Doomsday. One of the ways that Marvel established Thanos (played by Josh Brolin) as a threat in Avengers: Infinity War was by having him kill Loki (played by Tom Hiddleston), who fans had grown quite attached to at that time. There would be no better way to show that Doctor Doom (played by Robert Downey Jr) means business than by having him kill one of the original Avengers early in the film.
Stay tuned to Collider for more updates and coverage of Avengers: Doomsday and Secret Wars.
