Theory Briefing

  • Reddit fans flagged Bucky, Red Guardian, Sentry, Sue Storm, Johnny Storm, Cyclops, Gambit, and Nightcrawler as the most likely brutal casualties in Doomsday.
  • Two trailers have fuelled the speculation, with no confirmed deaths yet — the theories rest entirely on character framing and narrative logic.
  • Sue Storm's inclusion is notable: killing a Fantastic Four member this early in their MCU run would signal the film is willing to break its biggest new additions.
  • Sentry repeatedly appears on fan death lists, suggesting audiences read his power level as a narrative liability — too strong to keep around long-term.
