Recently, a new rumor has surfaced about Avengers: Doomsday, teasing an unexpected team-up between Red Guardian and The Thing. In addition, the film will see the New Avengers joining forces with the Fantastic Four to tackle a dangerous multiversal threat.
Trusted scooper Alex Perez revealed that one of the most anticipated dynamics in Avengers: Doomsday will be between David Harbour’s Red Guardian and Ebon Moss-Bachrach’s The Thing. Interestingly, this pairing is surprising. Furthermore, it aligns with the post-credits scene of Thunderbolts, where the New Avengers monitor the Fantastic Four’s arrival on Earth. As a result, this suggests a close collaboration between the teams throughout the film.
