<p>According to a report, the upcoming movie <em>Avengers: Doomsday</em> will have a few surprise cameos from Marvel heroes and villains. These will be characters from the comics who have not made an appearance in the MCU yet.</p>
<p>Most likely, these will be variants from across the multiverse, and the report also claims that most of these will be one-and-done appearances of lesser-known superheroes and villains from the comics.</p>

<h2>New characters will not be original creations</h2>
<p>According to insider <em>@Cryptic4KQual</em>, "I hear they will introduce a few one-off heroes/villains we've never seen for both Doomsday and [Secret Wars]. You'll probably never see them again on the big screen after this saga ends."</p>
<p>"When I say never seen before, I don't mean original characters," he added. "They're not making up people out of nowhere. Characters that already exist but have never been seen on the big screen."</p>

<p>He went on to add that, "[They're] most likely heroes from other worlds we've never seen that would be easily disposable. I don't think they'd want to stain the main timeline with new people never seen in any form of TV or Film media and have them stay for a long time."</p>
<h2>The Avengers take on Doctor Doom</h2>
<p>The next Avengers movie will be directed by Joe and Anthony Russo and will feature Robert Downey Jr.'s Doctor Doom as the villain. According to the rumour mill, Doom is trying to save his own Earth from an extinction-type event that threatens the entire multiverse.</p>

Avengers: Doomsday: More rumoured plot details about Robert Downey Jr.'s Doctor Doom

<p><em>Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings</em> was a surprise hit for Marvel Studios, especially following the lackluster performance of <em>Black Widow</em>. Directed by Destin Daniel Cretton and starring Simu Liu in the lead role.&nbsp;</p>
<p>The film was praised for its rich world-building and thrilling action sequences. It went on to earn a nomination for Best Visual Effects at the 94th Academy Awards and grossed over $430 million worldwide.</p>

<h2>Shang-Chi sequel faced multiple delays</h2>
<p>Despite the film's success, a sequel has faced repeated delays. Initially, progress was stalled when Destin Daniel Cretton was announced as the director of the next Avengers film. When he was later replaced by the Russo brothers, fans hoped he would return to work on Shang-Chi 2. However, it was then announced that he would be directing <em>Spider-Man 4,</em> further pushing back the sequel&rsquo;s timeline.</p>

<p>According to a new report from <em>The Cosmic Circus</em>, Shang-Chi is set to appear in <em>Avengers: Doomsday</em>, where he will be summoned by Sorcerer Supreme Wong to help stop Doctor Doom.</p>

<h3>Who are the Agents of Atlas?</h3>
<p>In the comics, the Agents of Atlas are descendants of Genghis Khan who seek world domination. The group has long been rivals of Shang-Chi&rsquo;s father, Xu Wenwu, the leader of the Ten Rings crime syndicate, who was killed at the end of <em>Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings.</em></p>

Avengers: Doomsday will see the Earth's mightiest heroes reunite on the big screen after the events of End Game. The movie also marks the return of Robert Downey Jr. to the MCU.

According to Daniel Richtman, a reliable source for Marvel news, the filming of Avengers: Doomsday has been delayed until April because the script is still being worked on. This is not uncommon for Marvel projects, as many have undergone script revisions before and even during filming.

Anthony Russo had spoken about their return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, saying: "Endgame was the end, and it took a little time for us to begin to think about it as something other than an end. We’re very close with Kevin and Lou [D’Esposito, Marvel Studios’ Co-President] and the entire Marvel team, and we’ve had conversations through the years. We’ve talked about a lot of ideas."

It is rumoured that Doom will kill Kang the Conqueror and set up the events of Avengers: Secret Wars. Downey has stated that his appearance as Doom will be a one-time event, making it unlikely that he will reprise the role in Secret Wars. Instead, he will likely help introduce a new threat for the Avengers to face. There are also rumours that Doomsday will focus on Tom Holland’s Spider-Man and The Fantastic Four.
