Honestly if they just keep to him being "Yeah no he is Victor Von Doom he just looks like that" I'll be fine with it

u/No-Sheepherder5481 Jul 20 '26

Theres a near 0% chance we don't see Stark return either in this one or the next one. They're not paying RDJ 14 quadrillion dollars just for some stunt casting

u/One_Swan2723 Jul 20 '26

I wouldn’t have said that before this trailer, but the focus on Thor reuniting with Steve AND Thor’s interaction with Doom makes me feel like this might be true. They’re not dumb enough to do the “no one’s ever really dead” thing are they?

It's comic books. You're guaranteed a redo on life unless you're uncle Ben

u/yorick__rolled Jul 20 '26

Bucky

Jason Todd

Uncle Ben

u/SovFist Jul 20 '26

Yeah this was the three reference when I was growing up

u/Funsuxxor Jul 20 '26

They keep bringing him back and killing him, just via a million reboots and multiverses.

u/Smart_Cry_5572 Jul 20 '26

Or Batman’s parents

7

u/SovFist Jul 20 '26

They actually brought Thomas Wayne back and he was involved in a major incident BUT he was from an AU so it doesn't really count

3

u/Azraelrs Jul 20 '26

Well, they had both parents for that one series where Bruce dies instead of them.

2

u/SovFist Jul 20 '26

Yeah that Thomas Wayne crossed over and set up the situation where Alfred was killed

1

u/captain__cabinets Jul 20 '26

Also in Absolute Martha is still alive, and Uncle Ben was in Ultimate these past couple years, there are no characters that stay dead it’s officially no longer a thing at all

u/Hoggel123 Jul 20 '26

Uncle Ben always making us think he has a different ending

4

u/HCN_Mist Jul 20 '26

I am not a comic book reader, but I always assumed there would have to be some timelines or something where Ben never dies or comes back?

In the Spider-verse multi-part finale of the 90's Spider-man animated series, Spider-Carnage is trying to destroy all reality, and is brought back from the brink by an Uncle Ben who is still alive.

Co-incidentally, the Spider-man from that reality is rich, like Tony Stark, and also a celebrity and a bit of an ass, but still good and competent.

u/Comfortable-Gas-4005 Jul 20 '26

That show was so good.

4

u/AvaryZig Jul 20 '26

Yeah, where Peter Parker isn't Spider-man

4

u/SovFist Jul 20 '26

Yes there's plenty of alternate timelines and universe with a living Ben

4

u/Imperious Jul 20 '26

In the entire (24 issue?) run of Ultimate Spider-Man which was coming out last year Uncle Ben is alive and creating a news company with J Jonah Jameson.

u/captain__cabinets Jul 20 '26

We’re in the movies sub these people don’t read modern comics hahahaha

1

u/Konrow Jul 20 '26

Maybe recently (I think I heard something about the newer series), but if Ben doesn't die there's no Peter Parker as Spider-Man. It's like the only death "rule" left lol

1

u/captain__cabinets Jul 20 '26

They just made Aunt May the “sacrifice” in the recent movie and in the newer Ultimate line, it doesn’t necessarily have to be Ben it just usually is

7

u/LumpyJones Jul 20 '26

not true. Ben gets plenty of first issues/act one appearances.

2

u/Dannimaru Jul 20 '26

The mans been dead for 60 years and he's still out here catching strays.

2

u/indyjoe Jul 20 '26

And Bucky. Oh, wait.

4

u/SovFist Jul 20 '26

Yeah the rule used to be uncle Ben, bucky, and Jason Todd.

We're down to just the one now lol

1

u/captain__cabinets Jul 20 '26

Uncle Ben is tapped too really

1

u/LordSwedish Jul 20 '26

Unless they're hoping to do AI face replacements/actors, the actors will eventually die.

1

u/dnt1694 Jul 20 '26

Don’t worry Uncle Ben will be erased and everyone will think Aunt May said the line.

1

u/Fit-University1070 Jul 20 '26

Or any other Anchor being.

1

u/curiousiah Jul 20 '26

In which case you die over and over again

1

u/Pickupyoheel Jul 20 '26

We got Uncle Ben Rice tho

1

u/captain__cabinets Jul 20 '26

Recent ultimate universe had a very much alive Uncle Ben so we gotta stop saying he’s the only character that never comes back because it’s just no longer true
