Another major rumor concerns the primary antagonist, "Doctor Doom." Rocha revealed that Doctor Doom will have a female associate, also masked like Doom, who believes herself to be a female variant of the iconic villain. This suggests the film could feature a male and female Doctor Doom duo. Notably, this isn't the first time whispers of a Doctor Doom associate have surfaced, lending significant credibility to the claim. Further reports suggest this female Doom variant is none other than Elizabeth Olsen's "Scarlet Witch."

Furthermore, recent speculation suggests that the ending of "Doomsday" will feature a clear handover, signaling to audiences which heroes will lead the charge in the subsequent "Avengers 6: Secret Wars." Finally, in a less surprising rumor, prominent entertainment scooper MyTimeToShineH also posted that Iman Vellani's "Ms. Marvel" is expected to appear in both "Doomsday" and "Secret Wars."
