Marvel Studios officially begins filming Avengers: Doomsday in March 2025. The Russo Brothers, Anthony and Joe — yes, the directors behind Endgame and Infinity War — will helm the project in the UK.
The Villain? Doctor Doom.
Yes, the iconic Marvel antagonist known for his clashes with the Fantastic Four. The biggest surprise? He’ll be played by Robert Downey Jr. But no, Iron Man isn’t returning — Tony Stark remains in the past. This Doom arrives from an alternate reality, in line with the MCU’s multiversal themes.
Who Will Appear in Avengers: Doomsday ?
The film promises to be one of Marvel’s largest crossovers. The Fantastic Four are rumored to return, following their debut in Fantastic Four: First Steps (releasing on July 25, 2025). Doctor Doom himself may appear in a post-credits scene, setting up the events of Avengers: Doomsday.
Confirmed characters include:
-
Spider-Man (Tom Holland)
-
Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen)
-
Captain America (Sam Wilson, played by Anthony Mackie)
-
Doctor Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch has hinted at his return)
-
Chris Evans and Hayley Atwell — likely portraying alternate versions of Captain America and Peggy Carter.
When Is the Release Date for Avengers: Judgment Day?
Avengers: Doomsday is set for release on May 1, 2026, followed by Avengers: Secret Wars on May 7, 2027. It appears a massive multiversal conflict is on the horizon, bringing together heroes from across the MCU.
Marvel is going all in once again — this film is shaping up to be a centerpiece of Phase Six. Stay tuned for more updates!
