In our Marvel rumor roundup today we have the return of Gwyneth Paltrow, Hulk possibly absent from Doomsday which has had new test screenings. Let’s begin with Pepper Potts herself, Gwyneth Paltrow and Daniel RPK claims that Paltrow will appear in both Doomsday and Secret Wars.
Now I’m pretty sure we knew Paltrow was in a scene of Doomsday already, but perhaps that’s information from the leaks? However, news she appears in Secret Wars is not something I have heard anyone else claim yet.
Next up we have this from Daniel also,
Recent test screening didn't have him in the film. But guess we'll see https://t.co/h7rkgfbEmo

It does look like Hulk is not in Doomsday. Honestly I’m not surprised as the Russos found a way to side-line the character in their last two Avengers films admitting they didn’t know what to do with him. I think the scene of him being abducted by Doom now showing at the end of Endgame Encore in theatres is there to tell us why he isn’t in Doomsday.
Why is Doom abducting Banner? Maybe to steal his power for the upcoming fight, we don’t know? Maybe he shows up again in Secret Wars?

Finally today, yes there has probably been a new test screening for Avengers: Doomsday as commented by Daniel and other insiders like John Campea. So far reports are that the tests went well, which is good news given it must have been a near final cut.
However this also probably means, just like Daniel’s post above, that a fresh round of even more accurate leaks are also on their way. I know too much already for my liking on this one, so I’ll definitely be staying away from any claimed leaks. It’ll be on is in a couple of months time anyway.
What do you think of today’s Barside Buzz? Thoughts below as always.
