Avengers: Doomsday Plot Theory
After the leaked teaser which highlighted the new life of Steve Rogers once he settled on the alternative timeline at the end of Endgame…I think the trigger of the “Doom wants Steve” narrative will be the son of Steve Rogers. I’m guessing Steve’s son will be named James (after Bucky) and because that’s a popular name for Steve’s future kid. This character and their involvement will be a big secret until the film release.
My theory is that Steve’s son eventually discovers the time travel suit and uses it to explore a bunch of timelines. It causes some instability across universes and that triggers the Incursion which eventually claims the home universe of the Tony Stark looking Doctor Doom. Doom tracks the source to the suit which leads him to mistakenly believe it was Steve Rogers. Doom will quickly realize it’s actually James responsible for the multiverse travel causing Incursions and instead hunt for him — which is why Steve Rogers doesn’t experience Doom’s full wrath in Doomsday and survives for Secret Wars.
Doom will hunt across the multiverse for James in his quest for revenge which will trigger more Incursions. At the same time, Doom manipulates the heroes of different universes by telling them the Incursions are from James Rogers and he must be captured/stopped. Steve will return to the main MCU timeline for help which will coincide with the Fantastic Four visiting to the main MCU timeline. This is because Doom’s plans get disrupted when he enters the Fantastic Four universe. He’s already on this quest for James when he appears at the end of Fantastic Four: First Steps and meets Franklin Richards & Sue Storm. If rumors are accurate, Sue and Franklin are essentially just like his wife and child from his home universe. A man fueled by grief now finds an illusion for reclaiming the family he lost — not too dissimilar from what Wanda dealt with in Doctor Strange 2.
It’s why the Fantastic Four would be traveling to the main MCU timeline specifically out of seemingly nowhere, as seen in the Thunderbolts* credits scene. Doom will manipulate things so it appears Steve is involved with the disappearance of Franklin & Sue, creating a situation where these heroes are at odds at first.
In a sense, Doom is like a Civil War Tony hunting for Bucky combined with the purpose-driven behavior of Zemo who was avenging his deceased family & people.
Doom pivots his plans to instead be the creation of a new universe where he can solidify this illusion of having his family back. He creates Battleworld from the limited universes left and that leads into Secret Wars. I don’t have speculation on how he does this except the obvious parts of him siphoning the powers of certain characters with magic or manipulating the most powerful heroes into doing the work for him in a way.
James Rogers will eventually be revealed as lost in the Quantum Realm. To rescue him, Steve will ask Scott Lang for help - which will involve Cassie and her superhero team with Kamala, Riri, Kate, etc. James essentially serves the Iron Lad role and eventually will take on the Beyonder role we probably would’ve had with Kang (Ant-Man villain variant) to challenge Doom in Secret Wars.
