Avengers Doomsday plot leaks: Fan theory says it will be Pedro Pascal vs Robert Downey Jr, reveals real reason why Dr Doom was seen with Franklin

It's always entertaining to see fans of superhero films speculate about what all is going to happen in the upcoming films. One goes through multiple Reddit threads, posts on X (formerly Twitter), and hundreds of videos on YouTube and ends up being even more confused about the plot than before. Well, a new set of Avengers: Doomsday leaks are making the rounds of the internet, and if they are true, fans will be able to see the return of many beloved superheroes in prime roles before Marvel moves on to Secret Wars. This article contains spoilers for The Fantastic Four First Steps so if you have not watched the film, come back to us later. It all started when someone supposedly working for Marvel Studios leaked a document containing plot points for Doomsday. Apparently T'Challa's sister, Shuri, is going to be a big part of the movie, as she is the one who will discover the incursions (worlds colliding) and the timelines merging. The Fantastic Four will be travelling to Earth 616, as shown in the post-credits scene of Thunderbolts*, to recruit help for their upcoming fight against Dr. Doom. Wong, Thor, the Thunderbolts, Banner, and Captain Marvel will all be informed about Franklin's kidnapping and the fact that a specific universe is heading for them at a dangerous speed. ALSO READ: Comic-Con salutes James Gunn and gets first looks at Coyote vs. Acme, and new Star Trek forays Upon investigating more about the universe, Shuri will detect the energy signature of Captain Monica Rambeau, something which makes Captain Marvel even more excited for the mission, as she wishes to rescue her mentee. While all this information should be taken with a grain of salt, the angle of Reed and Sue's son Franklin is definitely worth exploring. The post-credits scene of The Fantastic Four: First Steps shows Franklin in the arms of Doom as the masked god reveals his face to the child. The omega-level mutant revived his mother, and many believe that Doom removed his mask so that Franklin could heal the injuries on his face. Franklin has the ability to become the strongest of all, and just like Galactus, Doom realises this as well. It's safe to assume that Reed Richards and Victor Von Doom will be once again go head-to-head. Reed will have the rest of the Fantastic Four with him, while Doom will command his army of Latveria (a fictional country ruled by him). We know Sam Wilson, the new Captain America, is in the film, which means that he will be leading the charge for the new Avengers. While Captain Marvel's return can prove to be exciting, The Marvels was a huge letdown at the box office, and if she returns, this might prove to be her last appearance. Among all this speculation, a new doubt among fans seems to be on the rise. What if casting Robert Downey Jr as Dr. Doom is just a ruse, in order to hide the identity of the true Von Doom.

Gen Z intern sends leave email without 'asking'; Netizens call it iconic, unprofessional & everything in between

The corporate world just got a taste of Gen Z energy, and not everyone's ready for it. A Reddit post from the 'r/IndianWorkplace' subreddit recently went viral after an employee at an AI startup shared a rather unusual leave email sent by their Gen Z intern. The caption read: 'Corporate world is not ready for Gen Z!', and from what followed, they might be right. 'Please Don't Miss Me' The email, titled 'Going on a trip', was shared with a screenshot. It read, "Hi, feeling a bit overwhelmed with all the work, and my energy feels a little off, so not getting that vibe right now. I'll be out from 28th July to 30th July (please don't miss me). Here's my train PNR XXX, and attaching the booking slip for reference. Will talk soon, bye." Explore courses from Top Institutes in Please select course: Select a Course Category That's it. No 'Dear Sir', no 'kindly grant me leave', and absolutely no formalities. The intern simply said how they felt and bounced, politely. The Reddit user, who was supervising three Gen Z interns, said: 'Aisa mail 20 saal ki career mein main kabhi nahi dekha (In my 20-year career, I've never seen an email like this).' They admitted, though, that they admired the intern's honesty. Internet Reacts: Honest or Too Chill? The email sparked a mixed bag of reactions online. While some users found it amusing and 'iconic', others were baffled by its casual tone. Live Events One user said, 'Gen Z has economic comfort. They're not scared to speak their mind. Millennials wouldn't dream of sending a mail like this.' Another added, 'We should all take notes. My husband hasn't taken a single day off in two months!' There were also those who defended the intern's openness, saying it pointed to a healthier work culture. 'I've seen people take leave to play video games or because the weather was nice. This is fine,' a user said. But not all reactions were warm. Some users felt the email crossed a line. 'This is not how you speak to seniors,' one commented. Even a fellow Gen Z wrote, 'I'm Gen Z too, but I'd never send a message like that. There's a line.' Whether you love it or hate it, one thing's clear, Gen Z brings a new flavour to workplace communication. Some call it bold. Others say it's careless. But many agree it's time we talked more openly about burnout, mental health, and treating work like just one part of life, not all of it. As one user perfectly summed it up: 'Maybe it's not unprofessional. Maybe it's just honest. And maybe that's what we need more of.'
