It’s an intriguing statement as it’s not totally clear yet how both characters will play into Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars. As part of the Avengers: Endgame Encore re-release, a post-credits scene was added, which saw Bruce Banner in an underground facility after the events of Brand New Day. Here, we see Doctor Doom appear and collect the Hulk, taking him somewhere else.

If you’ll remember, this featured Parker on the Spidey Tracker somewhere in Queens before he disappeared and turned up on an unknown planet far away. Could Doom have also collected him and transported him far away?
