As a passionate cinephile, I’ve learned that sometimes scripts can be tough nuts to crack. In this case, it seems like the original writers of the “Doomsday” movie were faced with quite a challenge, as the latest draft of the script didn’t live up to expectations. Consequently, they found themselves in a situation where they had to step away from the project. Now, fresh talent is being brought on board to breathe new life into the storyline.

According to reports, it seems that Robert Downey Jr. is the one making this statement. He’s expressed his intentions to step back from the film unless Disney decides to revise a certain aspect of it.

Why was the script rejected?

The YouTube analyst notes that the screenplay for “Avengers: Doomsday” notably emphasized the female characters within the Marvel Cinatic Universe (MCU), a development that has reportedly generated significant controversy for Kevin Feige following “Endgame.

Based on these reports, an early draft of the film featured a strong female presence. It was planned to have a female counterpart for every male character in the movie.

Deadpool and Reynolds’ Role

As of now, there’s no official script available. The previous one, unfortunately, didn’t make it through, but there are whispers that Disney might enlist the writers from Deadpool to pen the new script.

If the gossip is true, it suggests that Ryan Reynolds and Deadpool could play significant roles in “Avengers: Doomsday”.
