The concept images from the art pages were soon removed later. A report in Forbes stated, “The art page of the current Marvel artists where these images were found has been nuked, but they are being endlessly replicated and spread across the internet at this point."

Avengers: Doomsday is expected to explore multiple timelines and universes. It will also reportedly reunite several of the actors from the previous Marvel films. While Avengers: Doomsday is set for release in May 2026, Avengers: Secret Wars will see the light of the day a year later, in 2027. The films are being helmed by Anthony and Joe Russo, who had previously directed the Avengers series.
