Magneto “Destroyed New Jersey” While Filming Avengers: Doomsday? Breaking Down the MCU and Multiverse Theories

Magneto “Destroyed New Jersey” While Filming Avengers: Doomsday? Breaking Down the MCU and Multiverse Theories

In this episode of Geek Freaks Headlines, we react to a clip of Ian McKellen talking about a stunt setup and joking that he “destroyed New Jersey” while filming Avengers: Doomsday. We unpack what “New Jersey” could mean inside the MCU, from Kamala Khan and the mutant breadcrumb in her series, to WandaVision and the Scarlet Witch family connection from the comics. Then we lay out an alternate theory that this is a different universe entirely, with Cyclops, Sentinels, and Trask Industries vibes, all while Doctor Doom level multiverse chaos could be colliding everything at once. We also touch on the Super Bowl trailer talk and what to realistically expect.

00:00 Intro and the “destroyed New Jersey” quote setup
00:08 Ian McKellen describes the stunt moment with lifted cars
00:44 Theory 1: New Jersey as Kamala Khan and the MCU’s mutant thread
00:59 Theory 2: WandaVision connections and the Scarlet Witch angle
01:18 Theory 3: A non-MCU universe with Cyclops, Sentinels, and Trask Industries
01:35 Big-scale battle speculation with Doctor Doom and incursions
01:56 Super Bowl trailer expectations and quick news roundup
02:15 Wrap up

  • The “destroyed New Jersey” line gets walked back immediately, but it’s still a fun clue to read into.

  • If it’s MCU New Jersey, Kamala Khan is the cleanest connection, especially with her mutant tease.

  • WandaVision adds a second strong NJ anchor, and the Scarlet Witch family link could be a story shortcut if they want it.

  • A multiverse angle may fit better than trying to establish too much mutant backstory inside one event movie.

  • The alternate-universe theory points toward classic X-Men visuals: Trask Industries, Sentinels, and a battlefield built for Cyclops and Magneto.

  • Doctor Doom and incursion-style stakes would make “leveling a whole region” feel like a natural escalation.

  • “I did destroy New Jersey the other day. Oh, I perhaps should have said that.”

  • “These were not special effects.”

  • “As one does.”

  • “My personal theory is that it’s not actually the 616 Marvel or the MCU Marvel.”
