The speculation began when an X (formerly Twitter) account, @MarvelLeaks, posted a photo of the Bollywood superstar, suggesting a possible future Marvel appearance. While Marvel Studios has yet to release any official statements, the tweet was enough to send fans into a wave of excitement.

This isn’t the first time Marvel has shown admiration for Shah Rukh Khan’s talents. Several Marvel stars and filmmakers have openly expressed their admiration for the actor:

Nia DaCosta, director of The Marvels, referred to Khan as a “legend” and expressed her desire to collaborate with him.
Anthony Mackie, the newly minted Captain America, previously mentioned his excitement about the prospect of SRK joining the Avengers.
Benedict Cumberbatch, who portrays Doctor Strange, has also complimented Khan’s acting abilities in various interviews.

These continuous gestures of respect have only fueled the growing hopes of SRK‘s involvement in the MCU.

Rumors are circulating that Shah Rukh Khan could appear in a small yet significant role in the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday.

Although nothing has been officially confirmed by Marvel Studios or Shah Rukh Khan, fans are holding out hope that this buzz might mark the start of a remarkable new chapter for Bollywood’s King in the Marvel universe.
