Shah Rukh Khan in Avengers: Doomsday? Rumors Fly About Bollywood Superstar’s Entry into MCU Alongside Robert Downey Jr, Chris Hemsworth And More

There’s buzz circulating around the idea that acclaimed Bollywood actor Shah Rukh Khan could potentially become part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, sparked by a popular social media post hinting at a future collaboration between the two entertainment giants.

Once more, Khan is caught up in global excitement after a trending post on what used to be Twitter sparked speculation about his potential role in a future Marvel Studios project. The buzz grew louder when a reputable Marvel tipster, @MarvelLeaks22, shared an image of Khan, subtly suggesting a possible alliance with the MCU.

It’s been suggested, without any formal confirmation yet, that preliminary talks regarding a potential collaboration between SRK and a powerful entity might be underway.

There are rumors swirling that Shah Rukh Khan (SRK) might be discussing potential roles for a future Marvel Studios project, not the Avengers Endgame.

Martin Khan, who prefers focusing on substantial roles in Bollywood over taking on minor parts in Hollywood productions, has consistently been linked to international projects. This includes the unrealized Xtreme City directed by Martin Scorsese.

The number of Asian characters in Marvel films is growing, for instance, with Park Seo-joon joining The Marvels. This suggests that Khan’s potential casting aligns with the studio’s goal to reflect a shift towards multicultural narratives and cater to diverse audiences worldwide.

Additionally, actors like Farhan Akhtar and Mohan Kapoor have already made appearances in the 2022 Marvel Studios series on Disney+, specifically Ms. Marvel. In an interview during the promotion of Captain America: Brave New World, Anthony Mackie singled out Shah Rukh Khan as the Bollywood actor who might best suit joining the Avengers team.

When asked by interviewer Kevin Zingkhai who he’d choose as the next Avenger from Bollywood, Mackie responds: “In my opinion, Shah Rukh Khan would be an excellent choice.

Stoking curiosity, it’s been revealed that Khan has traveled to Germany and is slated to attend the Met Gala in 2022. This news has sparked even more conjecture that Marvel might be planning a significant unveiling of a major cross-over event.

Currently, Shah Rukh Khan’s upcoming movie that has been confirmed so far is King, scheduled for release either in 2026 or 2027. In the interim, Marvel Studios plans to debut their group of outcasts in Thunderbolts*, set to hit theaters on May 2, 2025.
