Marvel Studios Reportedly Still Hasn't Finalized AVENGERS: DOOMSDAY's Third Act
Marvel Studios may be knee-deep in production on Avengers: Doomsday, but according to a new report, the film’s third act still hasn’t been locked in. That might sound wild considering the scope of the project, but for longtime MCU watchers, it’s basically business as usual.
Originally slated for release in May 2026, Doomsday was recently pushed to December 18, giving Marvel a bit more breathing room. While fans were understandably bummed by the delay, most agreed it was the right call, especially if it helps the film stick its big landing.
As it turns out, Doomsday started rolling cameras without a fully finished script from longtime MCU scribe Stephen McFeely. Scooper Daniel Richtman claims the third act still isn’t finalized. But, Marvel has a long history of shaping major set pieces mid-production.
Richtman also offered a peek at what’s currently filming in the UK. Scenes are being shot in The Void, the realm of pruned realities where we last saw in Loki. That is sure to open the door for some wild multiversal surprises.
He also shared that Marvel is filming scenes set on The Fantastic Four’s Earth, one of which takes place during a baseball game. There’s also a mention that Marvel is still “mulling over a Silver Surfer project,” which, if true, lines up with the cosmic scale Doomsday seems to be aiming for.
Tom Hiddleston, who’s confirmed to return as Loki, recently weighed in on his surprising return. While many thought Loki Season 2 was his swan song, even Hiddleston didn’t know what Marvel had planned. Her said:
"I didn't know that, so I was sincere in my conviction that I thought it was the end [Laughs]. I wasn't lying to you, I promise. I didn't know then what the plan was. I'm trying to think how long I've known... it's very exciting."
He’s all in for what’s next: "[Laughs] Yes. I do know some things. It’s an extraordinary privilege to still be on the team, and there are more stories to tell. I feel like the character has grown as I’ve grown. It’s genuinely an honour to still be in the squad."
Avengers: Doomsday is directed by the Russo Brothers. Their return brings major expectations, especially as they set the stage for Avengers: Secret Wars in 2027.
For now, the movie remains a multiversal mystery in motion. Avengers: Doomsday is set to be released on December 18, 2026, with Avengers: Secret Wars scheduled to arrive on December 17, 2027.
