YOU WON’T BELIEVE What’s Coming in Avengers: Doomsday

Among the highly anticipated movies underway is Marvel Studios’ “Avengers: Doomsday“. This marks the fifth installment in the Avengers series (and the 39th movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe) where Earth’s strongest heroes will face off against their greatest adversary, Doctor Doom, played by Robert Downey Jr. The storyline will seamlessly flow into the sixth Avengers film, “Avengers: Secret Wars”, inspired by the legendary Marvel Comics event series.

Behind the Scenes 

After handling “Avengers: Infinity War” and “Avengers: Endgame”, directors Joe and Anthony Russo are back to steer the ship again. Their regular partner, Stephen McFeely, is penning the script this time around. Alan Silvestri, who previously scored the music for the last four “Avengers” movies, will be doing so again. As always with Marvel Studios productions, Kevin Feige is producing. The filming begins in the United Kingdom in April 2025.

Avengers: Doomsday’s Cast

To date, the cast for “Doomsday” comprises 27 actors, with more potentially to be announced. Among those already revealed are Chris Hemsworth as Thor, Anthony Mackie as Captain America, Danny Ramirez as Falcon, and Paul Rudd as Ant-Man. Representing the realms of Wakanda and Talokan, we have Letitia Wright as Shuri/Black Panther, Winston Duke as M’Baku, and Tenoch Huerta Mejía as Namor. Additionally, the Thunderbolts team is part of the cast, featuring Sebastian Stan as Bucky Barnes, Hannah John-Kamen as Ghost, David Harbour as Red Guardian, Wyatt Russell as U.S. Agent, Florence Pugh as Yelena Belova, and Lewis Pullman as Sentry.

Here we have the entire assembly of the Fantastic Four: Ebon Moss-Bachrach (The Thing), Joseph Quinn (Human Torch), Vanessa Kirby (Invisible Woman), and Pedro Pascal (Mr. Fantastic). The original X-Men lineup boasts Patrick Stewart (Professor X), Ian McKellen (Magneto), Alan Cumming (Nightcrawler), Rebecca Romijn (Mystique), James Marsden (Cyclops) and Kelsey Grammer (Beast). Newcomer Channing Tatum will portray Gambit. Other notable characters include Simu Liu as Shang-Chi, Tom Hiddleston as Loki, with Robert Downey Jr taking on the role of villain Victor von Doom.

As a cinephile, I can’t help but feel excited about the impressive roster of actors in this upcoming project. Despite its sizeable length, hints from Robert Downey Jr. and Marvel Studios suggest that we might see even more familiar faces joining the lineup soon.
