Avengers: Doomsday Will Feature the Fantastic Four's Baxter Building and Include 'A Lot More People in That Kitchen', Marvel Boss Kevin Feige Teases

The acquainted Baxter Building featured successful The Fantastic Four: First Steps volition beryllium seen again successful Avengers: Doomsday, Marvel brag Kevin Feige has said, sparking speculation implicit what this means for the destiny of the Fantastic Four's mentation of Earth.

Discussing the ongoing filming for Avengers: Doomsday, Feige told Comic Book that the accumulation was curently shooting connected sets "built for Fantastic Four", including the team's surviving quarters seen successful erstwhile trailers.

But however volition this mentation of Earth appear? And what brings the enactment backmost there, aft the Fantastic Four permission their beingness to transverse implicit to the main MCU reality, arsenic seen successful the post-credits country for Thunderbolts*/The New Avengers? Let's instrumentality a look astatine eactly what Feige has said.

"Only speaking to the 1 we're moving connected now, shooting now, for radical who cognize the comics and cognize the connection incursions, those are universes coming together," Feige began. Here, the Marvel brag is making wide that he's discussing Avengers: Doomsday, alternatively than the consequent Avengers: Secret Wars, and referencing 'incursions' — the destructive smashing unneurotic of multiverse realities seen astatine the extremity of Doctor Strange: Multiverse of Madness.

"We volition spot this satellite that we've introduced (in First Steps)," Feige continued. "We're shooting connected each the aforesaid sets that we built for Fantastic Four, and it is precise fun. I would accidental the now-iconic Baxter Building surviving country and room wherever we saw the Four get to cognize each different successful this movie, let's accidental determination are a batch much radical successful that room successful Avengers, and it's amusive to virtually spot radical coming into each other's homes, which is beauteous awesome."

It surely sounds similar Feige is suggesting we'll spot Avengers characters travelling implicit to the Fantastic Four beingness — which possibly due to the fact that of an incursion is linked to the main MCU reality. Perhaps the Fantastic Four's multiversal travel to the main MCU is what causes this incursion? Or possibly the Four are alert it's coming, and are rushing implicit to get up of it?

Regardless, fans are taking Feige's comments arsenic confirmation the Fantastic Four world is precise overmuch inactive lasting astatine the extremity of First Steps — which would beryllium thing of a spoiler. Threatened by the planet-chomping Galactus, the Four's retro-futuristic mentation of Earth was looking decidedly ropey successful a caller trailer — but seemingly it survives, oregon astatine slightest the Baxter Building does, if the room is inactive acceptable for a hangout sesh.

"He fundamentally confirmed the Fantastic Four beingness won't beryllium destroyed," wrote redditor Significant_Silver99. But not everyone is truthful sure.

"Unless, the mentation that the Baxter Building is the 2nd vessel arsenic seen successful Thunderbolts," replied theknyte. "The rocket adjacent to the gathering has 3 pylons, but the 1 successful Thunderbolts has 4, and immoderate deliberation the Baxter Building whitethorn beryllium a 2nd rocket they usage to flight Galactus."

Maybe the Fantastic Four world is gone — but past wherefore would Feige notation incursions? And surely astatine the extremity of the MCU's Multiverse Saga, and with the request to acceptable up the events of Secret Wars, having a useful alternate beingness to explicate the concepts of antithetic realities and incursions would beryllium useful.

Earlier this week, Feige revealed that Secret Wars would enactment arsenic a "reset" for the MCU, aft which the X-Men would beryllium recast. It's absorbing to see this successful airy of the information that Doomsday besides features galore members of the archetypal Fox beingness X-Men cast. Surely with the Fantastic Four, and astatine slightest 1 incarnation of the X-Men not from our beingness successful play, Doomsday volition diagnostic immoderate of these realities colliding.

Perhaps suggesting arsenic much, Feige has present concluded with the pursuing tease that points to the authorities of the MCU beyond Secret Wars — erstwhile those caller X-Men volition feature.

"Unlike Endgame, which truly wasn't ended, and past we go, wherever bash we spell from here? What bash we bash with this level of occurrence and this level of finality? And we utilized it to experimentation and we utilized it to germinate and we utilized it to expand, excessively much," Feige noted. "Secret Wars, arsenic successful the comics, is arsenic overmuch astir bringing definite storylines to a adjacent arsenic it is launching a caller one. And that's what's precise exciting, is already being good into improvement of the adjacent saga."
