How The Multiverse’s Watchers Could Shape The Future Of The MCU
Marvel Studios is gearing up for its next big cinematic events, Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars. Early story leaks suggest a significant tie-in to the animated series What If?, hinting that fans will see multiple Watchers on-screen for the first time.
The Watchers, introduced in the comics as an ancient, omniscient race with a strict policy of non-interference, have already made waves in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). Jeffrey Wright’s Uatu, the Watcher who observes Earth, was the narrator and guide in What If? and famously broke his race's sacred rule when aiding the multiversal Guardians of the Galaxy in the series’ finale. Now, according to reputable scooper DanielRPK, more members of the Watchers’ race are expected to make their live-action debut in the upcoming films.
If true, this revelation raises several intriguing questions. Will Jeffrey Wright reprise his role as Uatu in a live-action setting? How significant will their involvement be in the Avengers' battle against cosmic-level threats? And how does the enigmatic Robert Downey Jr.-rumored Doctor Doom fit into this massive narrative?
Fans of Marvel comics will note that Doctor Doom and the Watchers have a complicated history, with Doom often seeking to manipulate cosmic entities to serve his ambitions. A recurring rumor suggests that Doom might seek to harness the power of The Beyonder to create a “Sacred Timeline” or build Battleworld, a pivotal setting for the Secret Wars storyline. Marvel is reportedly considering a veteran actor to portray The Beyonder, fueling even more speculation about this already ambitious crossover event.
Filming for Avengers: Doomsday is set to begin in March, with the movie slated for a May 2026 release. With a multiverse of possibilities in play, Doomsday and Secret Wars promise to push the MCU into uncharted territory. Fans can only wait and wonder how the Watchers will influence the fate of Earth’s Mightiest Heroes.
