Marvel teased the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday with new stills, however, fans went wild after they spotted an anomaly.

Although the pictures look normal at one glance, one of the photographs caught the attention for seemingly featuring late Charlie Kirk in the movie.

The camera solely focuses on the chess pieces with a blurred person in the back, bearing uncanny resemblance to the conservative.

One of the X users pointed out in a re-share, captioning: “Who that in the 2nd photo,” while another joked: “Kirk will return in Avengers.”

A netizen gushed about the unexpected occurrence, speculating: “Imagine the whole thing was just a big media stunt for the new X-Men.”

The still most likely captured Magneto, played by Ian McKellen, which refers to the iconic chess scene with Professor X.

While the picture seems to feature Charlie, the activist was publicly assassinated at the Utah university event where several people gathered.

Who killed Charlie Kirk?

The tragic event was followed by a manhunt which resulted in an arrest. A 22-year-old, Tyler Robinson was accused of murdering the departed soul.

However, his wife and the new CEO of The Turning Point admitted she has forgiven the man as this is what his husband would have done.
