Following the allegations and conviction against Jonathan Majors, everyone was curious about how Marvel would go ahead with Avengers: The Kang Dynasty, where Majors would have played an important role. However, at the recent San Diego Comic-Con, it was confirmed that the movie was shut down and has been replaced by Avengers: Doomsday.
Fans have been ecstatic about Avengers: Doomsday, not only because it finally brings in one of the biggest villains of Marvel comics, Doctor Doom, but also because this villain will be played by the beloved Robert Downey Jr.
In this article, we will explore more details about the upcoming movie, so make sure you stick around!
What is the Plot of Avengers: Doomsday?
Marvel is definitely good at secrets, and one that they will keep close to their chest for a long time is the plot of the movie.
However, this movie will take inspiration from the comics and might serve as an origin story of sorts when it comes to Doctor Doom’s character. Since this is an Avengers movie, the crazy villain will be up against the Avengers, and this will eventually lead to Avengers: Secret Wars.
The Cast of Avengers: Doomsday
As of now, Marvel hasn’t unveiled too many details about Avengers: Doomsday, but one of the biggest parts of the movie has been revealed, which involves the casting of Doctor Doom.
Academy Award winner and one of the biggest stars of Hollywood, Robert Downey Jr. is making his way back to the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
He previously played the role of Iron Man in the MCU, and the character died in Avengers: Endgame. Since then, fans had no hopes of seeing him return, but “never say never” stands true for Marvel.
No other cast members have been confirmed yet, but one can expect Chris Hemsworth, Anthony Mackie, and Mark Ruffalo to be a part of Avengers: Doomsday.
When and Where Can You Watch Avengers: Doomsday?
Avengers: Doomsday is scheduled to be released on May 1, 2026. It will be part of Phase 6 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and will be released after Blade, followed by Avengers: Secret Wars. Avengers: Doomsday will be released on the big screen, so make sure you mark your calendars.
Presenting Victor Von Doom.
