Avengers: Doomsday Set Photo Theory points to the return of a specific character

As they did in September 2018 in the accumulation of the exit of Avengers: end of gameDirectors Joe and Anthony Russo went to Instagram yesterday to share a black and white cryptic photo of the whole of Avengers: DoomsdayEncourage fans to “find hard” clues.

There have been a number of intriguing theories, but the majority of fans seem to think that the arrangement of the teasing photo “Avengers against X-Men”, while others believe that Doctor Doom himself is visible on the plan (see below).

Now, Erik Voss of The New Rockstars has shared a video describing his theory, and although his results may seem a little stretched at first, he offers fairly convincing evidence.

Possible spoilers follow.

Voss believes that the image alludes to the return of Wolverine by Hugh Jackman, with the light in the center of the brilliant photo directly on three metal beams which could represent the emblematic oblique bar of Logan.

He also underlines that there is a good chance that this photo would originally be shared on September 19 – exactly seven years on the day of the Russos’ End of game Post – But the revelation was postponed after Disney was criticized for the debacle of Jimmy Kimmel. It would have nothing to do with Wolverine, of course, but your theorizes that the Post Russo was then delayed another Full week due to the release of the first trailer for Insomniac Wolverine Video game.

We fully believe that Jackman will be back as Wolvie for Doomsday, but does this photo tease his return? Let us know what you think in the comments.
