Brie Larson Out of ‘Avengers: Doomsday’ Despite Massive Cast, No Ironheart

by

According to Nerdrotic, Brie Larson likely won’t reprise her role as Captain Marvel in the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday film. This follows his recent claim that Jon Bernthal is set to appear as the Punisher in Spider-Man: Brand New Day.

The well-known YouTuber announced on Twitter that Brie Larson’s Captain Marvel won’t appear in Avengers: Doomsday. They also confirmed that Ironheart won’t be featured when asked about her potential inclusion.

He confirmed Pedro Pascal will definitely be involved, and he expects Tessa Thompson to appear either in this project or the Secret Wars movie.

The next Avengers film, Avengers: Doomsday, is scheduled for release on December 18, 2026, and will kick off the final storyline leading to Avengers: Secret Wars. Marvel has officially announced 27 actors who will be in the movie, and there are rumors of another 33 joining them – including Brie Larson. However, according to the online critic Nerdrotic, Captain Marvel won’t actually be in the film. This is a big change, considering Marvel previously seemed to be building the future of the franchise around Larson after Endgame, but their plans have clearly changed.

Brie Larson Sparks Rumors With New Look

Brie Larson recently debuted a short, blonde hairstyle reminiscent of her look in Avengers: Endgame, sparking rumors among fans. She shaved her head earlier this year for a theater role, and this new cut has led many to wonder if she’ll be reprising her role as Captain Marvel in a future Avengers movie.

However, Nerdrotic argues the opposite might be happening. If his claim is correct, Captain Marvel, as played by Brie Larson, could be completely removed from future movies after having an unsteady role in the franchise for years.

Ironheart and Marvel’s Streaming Struggles

Nerdrotic also dismissed the possibility of Ironheart being featured in Avengers: Doomsday. The Disney+ show starring Riri Williams was canceled due to low ratings and a negative response from viewers.

The struggles of Ironheart reflect a broader issue with Marvel’s shows on Disney+. Viewership and reviews have been going down, even as the shows become more expensive to make and audiences lose interest.

As a big Disney fan, I’ve noticed a real shift in their strategy lately. They seem to be focusing on producing fewer projects, and it looks like they’re also being more careful with budgets. The reboot of Daredevil: Born Again is a pretty clear example of this new approach – it’s definitely scaled back from what many of us expected.

The Marvels Was A Massive Flop

Okay, let’s talk about The Marvels. As a Marvel fan, I have to admit, it was a bit of a disappointment. It turned out to be the lowest-grossing film in the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe, which is pretty shocking. With a budget of around $270 million, it only brought in $206 million worldwide – way below what Marvel usually expects from one of their big releases. It just didn’t connect with audiences the way they hoped.

The movie featured Iman Vellani as Ms. Marvel and Teyonah Parris as Monica Rambeau, but even with these popular characters and the potential for a connected story, it didn’t attract many viewers.

Because the movie didn’t perform well in theaters and received only moderate praise, Marvel probably chose to feature those characters less in future projects.

Disney Admits It Lost Male Fans

Disney has admitted that its Marvel and Star Wars franchises have lost some male viewers. Company reports indicate they’re now working to regain that audience after several years of declining viewership for both brands.

Recent changes in creative direction and casting make a lot more sense now. It appears Marvel’s upcoming projects are focusing on attracting the male audience that was key to the massive success of Endgame.

Marvel’s Big Reset

With The Marvels performing poorly, Ironheart not gaining traction, and reports that Brie Larson might not be in the next Avengers film, it seems Marvel Studios is starting fresh.

Many fans agree the Marvel Cinematic Universe hasn’t felt as thrilling recently. With big events like Avengers: Doomsday and Secret Wars planned, the studio might be focusing on bringing back popular characters and actors to boost excitement for the future.

It’s currently unclear if Brie Larson will reprise her role as Captain Marvel in the future, but it appears her time as the character may be over for now.
