My guess is he is going to be an aged up/future version of Franklin, possibly coming with an aged up/future Valeria, to fix things.

And with his powers he is essentially going to create the new rebooted MCU timeline that is supposed to happen on the tail end of Secret Wars.

Aged up Franklin I think is the most obvious pick

IDK how to feel about Franklin being aged up so fast. Throw in not liking this guy and I'm not feeling it.

u/The_one_account_ 59m ago

Wrong, he’s very clearly going to be the Beyonder /s

What if in the MCU that's the same thing?

Reptil, let's go!

That would be so fucking sick

My guess is that he's either playing an aged-up Franklin. The first thing we've seen about Doom is his interest in Franklin so an older Franklin helping resolve the story would be fitting (plus he could very believably pass as Pedro Pascal and Vanessa Kirby's child)

Or considering the ages of the other castings and the fact Jean's also in Secret Wars maybe another X-Man (Iceman or Angel perhaps?) but I can't imagine them being key roles

I’ve seen people say him as nightcrawler but I dunno if I could see it

I do think Franklin is the one

1

u/AllTheReservations John Constantine 2h ago

If he is playing an X-Man I'd rather it not be Nightcrawler. Otherwise with Cyclops confirmed and Beast all but confirmed, that's a few too many of the Doomsday X-Men

u/abusedporpoise 1h ago

Those are the most famous xmen so it’s only a matter of time before they show up again

Beyonder? Molecule Man?

u/synthscoffeeguitars Stryfe 2h ago

He has the right look, but I’m still not convinced we’re getting either one

6

u/Blitzhelios Damian Wayne 2h ago

I’m convinced Wanda and Loki are taking the respective roles

I could really see Doom taking lokis powers over stories and being the reason to build battle world

2

u/synthscoffeeguitars Stryfe 2h ago

Agreed, seems almost guaranteed that Loki will be the power source à la Molecule Man. I could see them still introducing The Beyonders, maybe saying they were the inspiration for the fake Timekeepers in Loki s1.

u/denv0r 44m ago

I feel like Franklin will take molecule man's place and they might introduce the Beyonder in secret wars. But, you never know.

I was wondering what that “Romeo will return” message was about when I saw him in Romeo and Juliet a few months back.

Rick Jones!

u/Foofaraw Swamp Thing 1h ago

A bomb, musician or Captain Marvel version?

2

u/SoloRemy 1h ago

All of them. Let him hang with Cap too. And have a talk show. And die. And come back. It’s Rick Jones. He’s done it all

u/HollowDanO 18m ago

I’m Rick Jones, beeaaatch!

He already did it once for Hamnet, it’s not a bad look just weird

Young Tony here we come

u/Foofaraw Swamp Thing 2h ago

Iron Lad. We are getting Kang back

u/TheeHeadAche Henry Pym 2h ago

Thinking more Heroes Reborn than Iron Lad

u/Foofaraw Swamp Thing 2h ago

The public craves the Crossing

u/X-RayManiac Beast 2h ago

You can hear them, out in the streets. They need it.

u/TheeHeadAche Henry Pym 2h ago

Marvel Studios should take terrible stories and make them great movies. Marville 2030

u/AllTheReservations John Constantine 1h ago

Armored Adventures... Ultimate Iron Lad... all these years they've been mentally preparing us for the live action The Crossing adaptation we all need and deserve

u/calgmtl07 2h ago

Interesting.

u/theironstomachx 2h ago

I have been saying this as well. Let it be known i was a believer

u/MX_Duncis 2h ago

Beyonder!

u/sandkillerpt 1h ago

Looks like Pedro Pascal's son

1

u/MR1120 1h ago

Aged-up Franklin Richards.

Looks like he could be Pedro’s son.

1

u/Professional_Dog2580 56m ago

Franklin makes alot of sense. He looks like a young Pedro.

u/denv0r 48m ago

For those who know the story, is Franklin Richards taking the place of molecule man? I keep wondering when molecule man is going to be introduced into the mcu. I assume never.
