Joy times for the Marvel Fandom. After a few potholes and a fairly irregular multiverse saga, the superhero universe led by Kevin Feige He has recovered what they call “the ancient sensation of the UCM” with ‘Thunderbolts*’. The film that officially closes phase 5 is having a very warm reception both by the public and criticism and, pending to see how it is going at the box office, and with the expensive ‘the fantastic 4: first steps’ just around the corner, the enthusiasm again invades the marvelitas.
All this will converge in the great cinematographic event of 2026, ‘Avengers: Doomsday’, the new reunion of the most powerful heroes on Earth, whose filming has just begun in London. In March we met part of its massive cast through a live streaming that had us in suspense looking at chairs for hours. And now, Thanks to the actors who have already begun to film their scenes, we have the first group photos from the set.
In the first one, shared by Simu Liu, who finally returns to the Marvel Cinematographic Universe as Shang-Chi, we see the actor with Winston Duke (M’Baku), Robert Downey Jr. (Doctor Doom), Paul Rudd (Ant-Man), Channing Tatum (Gambito), Chris Hemsworth (Thor) and Anthony Mackie (captain America) in a room where Part of the Avengers could enjoy a private session of ‘Thunderbolts*’. “Buy your tickets, it’s movie night!” Liu writes in the post.
The second group glance to ‘Avengers: Doomsday’ is offered by Robert Downey Jr. through an Instagram post with three images with his cast partners, the same one that Liu has shared and two more in which the same members of the supergroup appear at a time of relax and Ben Grimm in ‘The fantastic 4: first steps’. Pedro Pascal (Reed Richards) lost the photographic session, but His companions made sure that he was present posing with a cut from the actor on a red carpet.
Downey Jr. too Take advantage of the publication to congratulate your companions of ‘Thunderbolts*’ for the movieof which he offers his brief review with wink at the end: “Simply Wow !!! Dinner and a movie with the old Avengers. Tan cool, refreshing and deep. Congratulations.”
The most observers of the Internet have pointed out a detail of the photo that could give clues about Doctor Doom’s look. And some shouted in the sky when, recently, the Iron Man actor was seen in an image where he wore the longest and most curly hair. Fans wondered if this would be the appearance under the death mask for the film, but Downey Jr. appears with shaved hair in the new images. Is that your “hairstyle”? Will there be a wig? We will have to wait to know sure.
The rest of the cast?
And for what we will also have to wait a bit is to meet the rest of the cast of the film directed by Russo and Anthony Russo. The directors, who return to Marvel after a long absence to take care of the Multiverse saga, have already confirmed that The cast announced on chairs day is not complete, but many names are left to add to the list.
Now, Insider Jeff Sneider has published the alleged list of actors and actresses who will join this first roughness, which includes veterans such as Brie Larson, Benedict Cumberbatch, Mark Ruffal Pratt, Will Poulter, Tatiana Maslany and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II (whom we will see soon as Wonder Man). The great absences are still Tom Holland, Elizabeth Olsen, Avengers: Secret Wars and Hailee Steinfeldbut let’s take two things: this is nothing more than a rumor and, after ‘Doomsday’, ‘Avengers: Secret Wars’ arrives, so whoever lacks the first can (and should) appear in the second.
‘Avengers: Doomsday’ se estrena In Cinemas on May 1, 2026.
