Russo Brothers Provide 'Avengers: Doomsday' Filming Update

Los Angeles, October 22 - At the San Diego Comic-Con (SDCC) earlier this year, Marvel Studios president Kavin Feige stunned the entertainment world by announcing that Robert Downey Jr. would return to MCU to play the antagonist as Doctor Doom in the upcoming Avengers movies - Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars.

Feige also announced that the Russo Brothers would make their Marvel comeback to direct both - Doomsday and Secret Wars which were scheduled to be released on 1 May 2026, and 7 May 2027, respectively. Now, Russo Brothers have provided a filming update for Avengers: Doomsday.



During an interview at New York Comic Con with Collider, the director duo confirmed that Doomsday will officially begin filming in the spring of 2025. It was also reported that both movies will be shot separately unlike Avengers: Infinity War (2018) and Avengers: Endgame (2019), both directed by Russos, which were filmed simultaneously.

While not much has been revealed yet about the film, the filmmaker duo confirmed that all four core members of The Fantastic Four will also star in Doomsday alongside Robert Downey Jr. The Fantastic Four: First Steps, starring Pedro Pascal, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Vanessa Kirby, and Joseph Quinn, is slated for July 25, 2025, release.

There have been a lot of rumours about who will feature in the next Avengers movie, however, other than the aforementioned actors, only Doctor Strange star Benedict Cumberbatch is confirmed to star in the film and the actor himself confirmed the development recently.
