Avengers: Doomsday Introduces X-Men, Ties to Endgame

Filming for Marvel Studios' Avengers: Doomsday has begun in the UK, with the Russo Brothers directing and Kevin Feige confirming production is underway. Robert Downey Jr. stars as Victor Von Doom/Doctor Doom, officially not reprising his role as Tony Stark, as confirmed by set photos. The film features an ensemble cast including Avengers, X-Men, Fantastic Four, and Thunderbolts members, with more cast reveals anticipated. The plot is under wraps, but reports suggest the X-Men will be major players and Doctor Doom's origin may be tied to the aftermath of Avengers: Endgame and time travel. Leaked set footage and comments from Marvel insiders indicate a high-stakes story with possible major character casualties. Avengers: Doomsday is scheduled for release on May 1, 2026, marking a pivotal chapter in closing the MCU's Multiverse Saga.
