Quiet On Set!: Cameras Now Rolling On AVENGERS: DOOMSDAY For 2026 Release
Marvel Studios is announcing the start of production on Avengers: Doomsday in London. The trades all but confirmed the news as the label livestreamed a cast roster through a set of chairs on Wednesday.
The announcement is the latest on the newest chapter in the Marvel movie saga since Robert Downey Jr. was hailed on the stage of Hall H at Comic Con last summer for the role of Victor von Doom, otherwise known as “Dr. Doom”. Downey Jr., who appears at the end of the livestream, joins a roster that also alludes in part to a rather long-awaited movement on one area of the Marvel franchise since 20th Century Fox release, X-Men (2000).
Here is the cast in full:
Chris Hemsworth/Thor, Paul Rudd/Scott Lang-“Ant-Man,” Anthony Mackie/Sam Wilson “Captain America,” Danny Ramirez/Joaquin Torres- “Falcon,” Sebastian Stan/Bucky Barnes-“The Winter Soldier,” Florence Pugh/Yelena Belova, David Harbour/Alexei Shostakov-“Red Guardian,” Wyatt Russell/John Walker-“U.S. Agent,” Lewis Pullman/Robert Reynolds-“Sentry,”
Hannah John-Kamen/Ava Starr-Ghost, Letitia Wright/Shuri, Tenoch Huerta Mejia/Namor, Winston Duke/M’Baku, Vanessa Kirby/Sue Storm-“Invisible Woman,” Ebon Moss-Bachrach/Ben Grimm-“The Thing,” Simu Liu/Shaun-“Shang-Chi,” Kelsey Grammer/Dr. Henry ‘Hank’ McCoy-“Beast,” Joseph Quinn/Johnny Storm-“Human Torch,” and Pedro Pascal/Reed Richards-“Mr. Fantastic,” Tom Hiddleston/Loki, Patrick Stewart/Professor Charles Xavier, Ian McKellen/Erik Lehnsherr-“Magneto,” Alan Cumming/Kurt Wagner-“Nightcrawler,” Rebecca Romijn/Mystique, James Marsden/Scott Summers-“Cyclops,” and Channing Tatum/Remy LeBeau-“Gambit”.
Anthony and Joe Russo are directing Avengers: Doomsday film for a May 1, 2026 release. The pair are also attached to helm Avengers: Secret Wars which opens May 7, 2027.
Below is a truncated version of the livestream which features Rudd’s chair in full-sized compared to the “ant-sized” chair shown earlier Wednesday. Downey Jr. appears at the tail end here as well.
