The upcoming Marvel film, titled “Avengers: Doomsday,” is promising to be a monumental ensemble movie in the MCU. Directed by the Russo brothers, it’s set to unite the Avengers, Wakandans, Fantastic Four, New Avengers, and X-Men to battle Doctor Doom, portrayed by Robert Downey Jr. This epic showdown is slated for release on December 18, 2026, as part of Phase Six in cinemas.
In a new development, Joseph Quinn has entered the fray, having recently debuted as Johnny Storm, aka The Human Torch, in the series Fantastic Four: First Steps. In an exclusive chat with AP Entertainment, Quinn discussed the contrast between filming Fantastic Four and his previous work on Avengers: Doomsday.
As a die-hard fan, I must say that the Fantastic Four reboot offers a refreshing new beginning for its talented cast. On the other hand, stepping into Doomsday plunges me right into the midst of Marvel Cinematic Universe veterans and even some original X-Men actors from the Fox film series!

Quinn found it thrilling to work with such a legendary group, but he came close to revealing some secrets about them.”
“Being part of this iconic team was an exhilarating experience for Quinn, but it almost caused him to reveal some hidden details.
Chris Hemsworth is set to reprise his role as Thor, however, Kevin Feige, president of Marvel Studios, has not yet disclosed the entire cast list for Doomsday. According to sources in the industry, additional actors’ names will be revealed later since some of them hadn’t signed their contracts during Marvel’s event unveiling.
The film boasts one of the biggest ensembles in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), uniting characters from the Avengers, Fantastic Four, Wakanda, New Avengers, and X-Men. Key returning actors include Chris Hemsworth playing Thor, Anthony Mackie as Captain America, Letitia Wright as Black Panther, Paul Rudd as Ant-Man, and Tom Hiddleston as Loki. Fresh faces joining the cast are Vanessa Kirby as Invisible Woman, Pedro Pascal as Mister Fantastic, and Joseph Quinn as Human Torch.
This movie brings together veteran X-Men stars like Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen, Rebecca Romijn, Alan Cumming, James Marsden, and Channing Tatum, with Robert Downey Jr. portraying the antagonist Doctor Doom. Moreover, characters such as Spider-Man, Doctor Strange, Hawkeye, and Peggy Carter make guest appearances, making this Marvel project one of their most daring ensemble endeavors to date.
Back in April of 2025, I found myself standing at the hallowed grounds of Pinewood Studios in England, where the cameras rolled for “Avengers: Doomsday.” The magic wasn’t limited to those British shores, though; some scenes were also skillfully captured in the exotic landscapes of Bahrain. Truly an unforgettable experience as a devoted cinema enthusiast!
