Baxter Building Party in 'Avengers: Doomsday'? Feige Spills the Multiversal Tea

Kevin Feige's been teasing 'Avengers: Doomsday' with hints of Fantastic Four's involvement and multiversal incursions, leaving us wondering if it's a genuine multiverse adventure or just another corporate magic trick. Either way, buckle up, because things are about to get weird.

Right, so Kevin Feige's been flapping his gums again, this time dropping hints about 'Avengers: Doomsday' and, get this, the Fantastic Four's Baxter Building. Seems our favorite stretchy boffin and his mates haven't been completely devoured by Galactus after all (or have they?).

According to IGN South Africa's report on Feige's comments to Comic Book, 'Doomsday' will revisit the very sets built for 'Fantastic Four: First Steps,' including that now-iconic Baxter Building kitchen. Imagine, more heroes crammed into that retro-futuristic kitchen than you can shake a stick at. Sounds like an absolute riot, doesn't it? What's next, a super-powered potluck?

Feige keeps banging on about "incursions," those delightful moments when universes collide like drunken toddlers at a birthday party (thanks, Doctor Strange). This suggests the 'Doomsday' plot involves universes smashing into each other, and the Fantastic Four's reality might be ground zero for some of this multiverse mayhem.

But here's where my finely-tuned skepticism klaxon starts wailing. Are we *really* seeing the original Fantastic Four universe intact? Or is this a clever misdirect? One Reddit theorist (Significant_Silver99, bless their cotton socks) reckons Feige's confirmation means the FF universe survives. But theknyte throws a spanner in the works, suggesting the Baxter Building might be the second ship seen in Thunderbolts. It's all deliciously confusing, isn't it?

Feige also blabbed about 'Secret Wars' being a "reset" for the MCU, hinting at recasting the X-Men. So, we've got the Fantastic Four *and* potentially multiple versions of the X-Men popping up in 'Doomsday.' Sounds like a recipe for interdimensional chaos, mate. Makes you wonder if they'll finally give Cyclops some decent bloody eyewear. I mean, come on, the man can barely see!

And let's not forget Feige’s classic “unlike Endgame” spiel, where he tries to convince us that this saga has a proper ending (unlike the last one which just sort of...fizzled). 'Secret Wars,' he claims, will both wrap up storylines and launch new ones. Which, let’s be honest, is what he *always* says.

Look, I'm cautiously optimistic. The potential for multiverse madness is certainly there. But I'm also keeping a close eye on the corporate wizardry at play. Will 'Doomsday' be a genuinely exciting multiversal romp, or just another thinly veiled attempt to sell us more superhero merchandise? Only time (and probably a few leaked set photos) will tell. But as always, keep your eyes peeled and your tinfoil hats handy. You never know when reality might decide to take a detour through your living room.
