Movie Discussion: Avengers Doomsday & Avengers Secret Wars (2026-27) UPDATE: Russo BROTHERS ARE BACK! RDJ IS BACK AS DOCTOR DOOM! Chris Evans too!

"The fans" hated the roll out





This is my guy but this take is just dumb.

Over 9 million straight views took over all social media platforms...

How is that a fail?

well oh ok; was there any surprises? because i would assume that why they hated it; no surprises or oh wow they gonna be in it...
 
ii agree with u
and correct me if im wrong but isnt doom face burned off or something
thats why he wears the mask?
thats the only way i see this working
It was, originally. And it was the mask that burned his face off. Before that, he had a little scar on his cheek & took so much umbrage to that little scar that he had monks put a red hot from the furnace metal mask on his face.

His face got restored by Molecule Man at the end of Secret Wars (the new one, not the 1985 version).

I'm confused what these people are complaining about?

Mofos automatically complain about these projects like a muscle memory, reflex action.

Remember, mofos were bitching about RDJ being cast as Iron Man/Tony Stark back when it was announced he was gonna star in it. After seeing the first film, nobody today will question him being Tony Stark.

Doomsday and Secret Wars are being filmed back-to-back. The two films and Disney+ series being released at the same time will close out Phase 5/6 of the Mutlverse phases.

With RDJ cast as DD, high chance he is a variant from a different universe.

Disney/Marvel already stated they are doing a reboot of the franchise after these films. Which means Major recasting of the majority of characters that have debuted since 2008, primarily cuz they have basically aged out of the roles. Which means a new, younger Doctor Doom will be cast.

It’s looking like they are bringing everyone back since 2008 in these 2 films including the 20th Century FOX films, to officially close out everything before the reboot.

Just enjoy it for entertainment….the shit ain’t a documentary based on anything real.

So the Fantastic 4 will be moved out of the 60s to the present day at the end of Secret Wars..then theyll bring the X-Men in for Phase 7
 

Avengers: Doomsday cast is official, including X-Men reunion with Ian McKellen, Patrick Stewart, more​

The next Avengers movie is turning into an "X-Men" reunion, with Alan Cumming, Rebecca Romijn, and Kelsey Grammer also set to return to Marvel.

Joining Robert Downey Jr. as Victor von Doom, a.k.a. Doctor Doom, in Avengers: Doomsday is an assembly of A-list Marvel talent from across the cinematic universe.

As production on the next MCU event film kicks off this week, the studio confirmed returning stars over the course of a livestream video that slowly revealed the actors' chairs on set. Chris Hemsworth (Thor), Paul Rudd (Ant-Man), Vanessa Kirby (Sue Storm/Invisible Woman), Anthony Mackie (Sam Wilson/the new Captain America), Sebastian Stan (Bucky Barnes/The Winter Soldier), Letitia Wright (Shuri/the new Black Panther), Wyatt Russell (John Walker/U.S. Agent), Tenoch Huerta Mejia (Namor the Submariner), and Ebon Moss-Bachrach (Ben Grimm/The Thing) were announced within the first two hours of the livestream.

Simu Liu (Shang-Chi), Florence Pugh (Yelena Belova), Kelsey Grammer (Beast/Hank McCoy), Lewis Pullman ("Bob" from Thunderbolts*), Danny Ramirez (Joaquin Torres/the new Falcon), Joseph Quinn (Johnny Storm/Human Torch), Pedro Pascal (Reed Richards/Mister Fantastic), (David Harbour (Alexei Shostakov/Red Guardian), Winston Duke (M'Baku), Hannah John-Kamen (Ava Starr/Ghost), and Tom Hiddleston (Loki) were confirmed later on.

But the biggest announcements were saved for last. Patrick Stewart (Charles Xavier/Professor X), Ian McKellen (Erik Lehnsherr/Magneto), Alan Cumming (Kurt Wagner/Nightcrawler), Rebecca Romijn (Mystique), and James Marsden (Scott Summers/Cyclops) join fellow X-Men alum Grammer among the cast. And then came the news that Channing Tatum will officially reprise his role of Gambit from Deadpool & Wolverine in Avengers: Doomsday.

The 5.5-hour livestream concluded with Downey walking down the line before taking a seat in the final chair, which unsurprisingly had his name on it. The stream then cut to a slide that said, "Avengers: Doomsday now in production."



Chris Evans denies reports of Avengers return: 'Happily retired'

Stewart and McKellen headlined the original Fox-owned X-Men movie franchise, which effectively ended when Disney bought the studio and started incorporating those characters into their own Avengers lineup. Stewart's Xavier was the first to be inducted with Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. He was followed by Grammer, another X-Men alum, who made a cameo appearance as Beast in a post-credits scene tagged onto The Marvels.

Romijn and Marsden first appeared as the shape-shifting mutant Mystique and leader of the X-Men Cyclops in the franchise's first film from 2000. Cumming arrived in the next movie, 2003's X2: X-Men United, as the teleporting, blue-skinned Nightcrawler.

Deadpool & Wolverine, starring Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman as the titular dynamic duo, became the introduction for many of Marvel's mutants into the MCU. Tatum fulfilled his dream of playing Gambit in that film after his once-planned spinoff movie was squashed in light of Disney's takeover of Fox. Reynolds signaled in an interview with Entertainment Weekly, however, that Marvel liked his performance.

"I honestly don't know what goes on behind closed doors in the bookkeeping sessions at Marvel, but I do know that they're obsessed with him in that role," Reynolds said.

After the release of Deadpool & Wolverine, Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige confirmed this next phase of the franchise would introduce more X-Men characters and that the story of Avengers: Secret Wars "really leads us into a new age of mutants and of the X-Men.

Some of these faces we haven't technically met yet outside of trailers. For instance, Kirby, Moss-Bachrach, Pascal, and Quinn won't debut as their characters until this summer's The Fantastic Four: First Steps (July 25). Mejia was one of the bigger surprise return announcements, having debuted as the prime antagonist in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.

The same goes for Hiddleston. The last time we saw Loki physically was in Loki season 2, which finished its latest run on Disney+ in November 2023.

Most of these stars, however, are major players in the next slate of movies that Marvel will release. Mackie and Ramirez starred in Captain America: Brave New World, which came out in theaters earlier this year. Pugh, Russell, Stan, Pullman, Harbour, and John-Kamen will all feature prominently in Thunderbolts* (May 2), also hitting theaters this year along with Fantastic Four. From an official standpoint, Pullman's character is still considered a mystery beyond his nickname "Bob," but there is mounting evidence that suggests he's playing comic character Sentry.

How is that a fail?

John has had a bug up his ass for marvel for a bit now. I got about 20 mins in and then read the comments. Kinda flippantly mentioned BNW making 400 million. I'm not sure why he's riding so hard for thunderbolts though.
 
“Doomsday” and “Secret Wars” would be perfect to have the cast of “Agents of SHEILD” make their MCU debut.

The final scenes in the series finale officially started the Multiverse phase.
