Avengers: Doomsday Rumors Are Getting Bigger (Ep. 26)

Kevin Feige is promising major “pinch-me” moments for Avengers: Secret Wars, and all signs increasingly point to Doctor Doom sitting at the center of Marvel’s next big reset. Jim Hill and Dan Graney break down the newest Avengers: Doomsday rumors, the Russo Brothers’ unusual script process, Wanda speculation, and the possible future of Vision Quest. They also dig into new Marvel casting, Avengers Campus construction, Jack Kirby tributes, Star Wars’ post-sequel plans, and the return of classic Indiana Jones comics.
