There is a rumor circulating that Marvel and Kevin Feige are going to release some breaking news today. Fans are speculating that it's going to be even bigger than when they introduced Robert Downey Jr. as Doctor Doom—although that was big already!
Social media is abuzz with anticipation, with fans spouting every sort of theory and guess about what it is.
There is no word on this rumor officially yet, but things only got better when Disney's Chief Brand Officer commented on a post with simply "What". This either signifies that even Disney doesn't know, or someone spread the rumor really hard.
But naturally, that's not keeping social media from speculating about it. Folks are filling the internet with theories and memes—some believe it might be something enormous like Disney regaining the rights to Spider-Man, while others are in doubt, speculating whether the "big news" will simply be a disappointment.
Social media reacts as Marvel is speculated to announce something big
Audiences are making up all sorts of crazy assumptions—some assume that it would be an X-Men reboot, while others want to dream it will be a Marvel and DC collaboration, and then some are bracing for disappointment.
Some of the fans are even humorously fearing that the major announcement could very well be another season of Madame Web instead!
Sharing a meme, this user speculated:
"X-Men reboot announcement 🔥"
One user hilariously predicted the collaboration between Marvel and DC.
Bracing for disappointment, a user dropped a relatable yet funny GIF:
Roasting the studio, a user poked fun, saying that they are probably going to announce Madame Web 2.
Fans are coming up with some unhinged theories—some are joking that Blade Runner is on hold indefinitely, while others dream up a crazy scenario where Robert Downey Jr. portrays every single character in an alternate universe.
A few are more concerned with wondering if Marvel has finally canceled a project or if the Russo Brothers won't be directing the next big film.
A user @FrattPa48444099 joked:
"Blade movie has been put on INDEFINITE hold."
Another user, @lepslair, humorously suggested:
"We are going to the Robert Downey Jr universe in Doomsday, where every character will be played by RDJ and it will be RDJ vs RDJ in the biggest RDJ event of all time!"
A user @jtmooten went on to say:
"They finally pulling the plug?"
Yet another user, @KrypticAngeI, added:
"russo brothers no longer directing it."
Some fans are teasing Marvel for its fixation with making alternate versions of well-known superheroes—such as She-Hulk for the Hulk.
Now they're making jokes that perhaps Marvel will release an evil Spider-Man who turns out to be female or making wild, entirely unfounded speculation—such as She-Hulk marrying Doctor Doom.
A user @ElliotFilceOni said:
"It’s got to be the Female Spider-man villain for Spider-Man 4."
One user @aaronpalmer quipped:
"Tatiana Maslany will be the main lead and play 80 different variants of She-Hulk in the next two Avengers movies."
A user @GodOfTime165148 hilariously predicted:
"Probably shehulk marrying with doom.."
For now, we have no clue what Marvel is working on or whether there even is a huge announcement in the pipeline.
We'll just have to hold out till they give the thumbs up on what they have waiting for the fans. Until that time, let's just hope it's not a total letdown!
