Rumored Start Date and Core Cast Members Revealed for AVENGERS: DOOMSDAY
A rumored start date and cast list have been released for Marvel’s next big event ensemble film, Avengers: Doomsday. We already know the movie will feature a ton of variants throughout the Marvel Universe, and it will also usher Robert Downey Jr. back in to this world to play Victor von Doom.
According to a Production Weekly listing, Avengers: Doomsday will begin shooting in late March in the UK. This lines up well, as the film is set to be released just over a year later. It seems to me like they should start production a little sooner, but if they can get it done in 13 months, more power to them.
The cast members mentioned in the scoop include previously confirmed actors such as Robert Downey Jr. (Doctor Doom), Chris Evans (Steve Rogers/Nomad(?)) and Anthony Mackie (Sam Wilson/Captain America), along with The Fantastic Four: First Steps and Thunderbolts* casts, Tom Holland (Peter Parker/Spider-Man), and Elizabeth Olsen (Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch). Ana de Armas, who was previously rumored to be up for a Marvel role, is also listed as a possibility.
We take all rumors as just that before they are verified, but this doesn’t seem like it’s too far off, so it may just end up being right. Check it out below, and let us know what you think.
Avengers: Doomsday arrives in theaters on May 1, 2026, followed by Avengers: Secret Wars on May 7, 2027.
