The filming of the movie "Avengers: Doomsday": what is known about the plot

After six years of waiting for fans, Marvel has finally announced the start of filming the next installment of the Avengers saga. The movie "Avengers: Doomsday" will be one of the biggest events in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and fans are looking forward to the new adventures of their favorite heroes. 

Principal photography will start in March this year in England, and the film will be directed by Joe and Anthony Russo, just like the previous installments. They are returning to their favorite characters as directors of The Avengers: Avengers.

They have already worked on such hits as Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Captain America: Civil War, as well as Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame. Together, they will continue to develop the superhero saga, creating a huge cinematic universe, ComicBookMovie writes.

New characters and unexpected returns

One of the biggest surprises was the news about Robert Downey Jr.'s participation in the movie, although he will not play Tony Stark, as it was in the previous parts. This time, the actor will transform into Dr. Doom, one of the biggest villains in Marvel comics. This opens up new opportunities for plot development within the framework of multiverse stories.

Among the returning actors are Anthony Mackie, who will once again play Sam Wilson (Captain America), Benedict Cumberbatch as Dr. Strange, and Hayley Atwell as Peggy Carter. In addition, many actors from the upcoming Thunderbolts movie will also appear in Avengers: Doomsday, including Sebastian Stan, Florence Pugh, David Harbour and others. 

Fantastic Four on the horizon

An equally important part of the movie will be the Fantastic Four characters, including Pedro Pascal (Reed Richards/Mr. Fantastic), Vanessa Kirby (Susan Storm/Invisible Woman), Joseph Quinn (Johnny Storm/The Torchman), and Ebon Moss-Bacrack (Ben Grimm/The Thing). Given Dr. Doom's connection to the Fantastic Four, fans are hoping for interesting crossover stories between the two universes.

Rumors about the return of Chris Evans

Mentions of Chris Evans' possible comeback as Captain America have sparked a lot of talk among fans. However, the actor himself denied these rumors, saying that he would not return to this role. Although there have been many similar cases recently when actors initially denied their participation in big movies, such as Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield in Spider-Man: No Way Home.

The plot of the movie "Avengers: Doomsday"

Initially, the plot of the film was aimed at the superheroes' confrontation with Jonathan Majors' character Kang the Conqueror. However, after serious accusations against the actor, Marvel decided to change the main antagonist, and the role of the villain in the next parts of the saga is now played by Dr. Doom. These changes promise dramatic plot twists and new challenges for our heroes.

The movie "Avengers: Doomsday" will continue to develop the theme of invasion and merging realities. This can lead to a large-scale multi-universal war, which will be the culmination of a new stage in the history of the MCU. Viewers will be able to see how different worlds connect and pose new threats to Earth's heroes.

Release date of the new "Avengers"

"Avengers: Doomsday" will be released in theaters on May 1, 2026. Following it, in 2027, the audience will see another part, Avengers: Secret Wars, which is likely to be a continuation of the epic struggle on the edge of multiverses.
