Marvel Studios certainly seems to be swinging for the fences with Avengers: Doomsday. The initial cast reveal included plenty of surprises, including multiple members of Fox’s original X-Men trilogy. While rumors of an Avengers vs. X-Men style battle have swirled around Doomsday for some time, the inclusion of Sir Ian McKellen on the list of 27 stars still caught fans off guard. Now it sounds like his Magneto may just have an important part to play in whatever it is the X-Men are up to on what’s believed to be Earth-10005.
According to social Media scooper My Time To Shine Hello, the UK’s Windsor Castle will be used in Avengers: Doomsday as Magneto’s stronghold.
The castle does bear some resemblance to the Autumn Palace, a castle that Magneto called home on Mars/Arakko after leaving Krakoa during writer Al Ewing‘s 2021 Marvel Comics series, X-Men: Red.
Though it’s not entirely clear what to expect on Earth-10005–or whatever reality the Fox X-Men inhabit–it has been theorized that the reality’s timeline could have begun following the events of X-Men: Days of Future Past. If that’s the case, Magneto could very well be working with Charles Xavier and his X-Men to stop what’s beginning to look like an attack on their Earth by Robert Downey Jr‘s Doctor Doom.
