A new rumor surrounding Avengers: Doomsday suggests the upcoming crossover could explore a controversial but comic-accurate relationship. The film is expected to unite the Avengers, the Fantastic Four, and the X-Men to face off against the formidable Doctor Doom.
What is the new Avengers: Doomsday rumor?
According to a report from social media scooper James Mack, the film may feature a love triangle involving Reed Richards, Sue Storm, and Namor. While fans have long speculated whether this dynamic from Marvel comics would make its way into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the claim remains unverified. Mack specifically alleged that the film includes a scene where Namor flies over the ocean while holding Sue Storm. Marvel Studios has not released any official plot details regarding the film, so this should be treated as speculation.
This is not the first time reports have surfaced regarding a potential connection between these characters. In the comics, Sue and Namor have shared an intense history, though Sue has remained committed to Reed. The recent Fantastic Four: First Steps established Sue and Reed as a married couple, focusing on their family life and the arrival of their child, Franklin.
Namor in the MCU
Namor made his MCU debut in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, portrayed by Tenoch Huerta. Initially introduced as an antagonist, the character eventually aligned with Wakanda and was confirmed to be a mutant. His inclusion in the upcoming Avengers crossover would continue his integration into the broader cinematic universe.
Marvel Studios is expected to share more information about the project soon, with many fans anticipating a trailer reveal at San Diego Comic-Con. Avengers: Doomsday is currently scheduled to arrive in theaters on December 18, 2026.
