Marvel’s next project speculated to introduce a superhero who is a living portal
An industry insider has revealed intriguing early leaks in regard to a new Marvel Studios project currently in progress. The source indicates that a lesser-known hero from the comics may soon make their cinematic launch, stating Marvel’s plan to explore “a unique power set” and project into “a darker corner of its universe.”

Insider MyTimeToShineHello shared on X (formerly Twitter), “The superhero Doorman will appear in an upcoming Marvel project. Any guesses?” While Marvel has yet to officially confirm which title will showcase the character, online rumors point toward Wonder Man or Avengers: Doomsday as possible platforms for his appearence.

Who Is Doorman?

Created by John Byrne, Doorman, known as DeMarr Davis initially debuted in West Coast Avengers #46 (March 1989). A mutant and member of the Great Lakes Avengers, Davis has the talent to teleport others via solid objects by transforming his body into a dimensional gateway connected to the Darkforce Dimension.


Later in the comics, the cosmic being Oblivion changed him into its “Angel of Death,” offering him extra powers such as flight, invulnerability, and death perception. Despite his rather obscure image, Doorman’s arc combines cosmic intensity with dark humor, making him one of Marvel’s most intriguing heroes.

From Tragedy to Resurrection

In the comics, Doorman’s narrative has both comedy and melancholy. He dies in a confrontation with the villain Maelstrom and is later revived by Oblivion. Following his resurrection, Doorman becomes a psychopomp, guiding lost souls between life and death. His Darkforce teleportation, intangibility, and cosmic awareness make him uniquely fit to Marvel’s extending multiverse storylines.

His Team and Ties in the Marvel Universe

Doorman is part of the Great Lakes project, a government-recognized superhero group in Wisconsin, which once worked under the Superhuman Registration Act. He’s fought along with eccentric teammates like Mr. Immortal, Flatman, Big Bertha, and Squirrel Girl, often balancing absurd comedy with heroic sincerity.

If brought to live action, Doorman’s link to the Darkforce Dimension could connect directly into existing MCU lore. The Darkforce power has already been presented in Cloak & Dagger, Doctor Strange, and Monica Rambeau’s energy indicating Marvel might be weaving its darker cosmic elements together.

Marvel’s Silence Adds to the Mystery

Current;y, Marvel Studios has not officially confirmed or remarked on the leak. However, with Phase 6 of the MCU exploring supernatural and multidimensional concepts, Doorman’s debut could extend the cinematic universe into formerly unseen territory.
