With production details trickling in, speculation is at an all-time high about filming schedules, star-studded casts, and how this epic will reshape the Marvel Cinematic Universe. From London studios to a jaw-dropping 2026 release, here’s everything we’ve uncovered about Avengers: Doomsday so far—your one-stop guide to the superhero spectacle everyone’s buzzing about!

When Does Avengers: Doomsday Start Filming?

Production for Avengers: Doomsday is set to kick off in late March 2025, though recent rumors suggest a slight delay to April. According to industry insider Daniel Richtman, the shift stems from an unfinished script, raising eyebrows among fans eager for a seamless rollout. Filming will take place in the United Kingdom, primarily at Pinewood Studios, a hub for blockbuster magic.

Posts on X from @NexusPointNews and @MCU_Direct corroborate this timeline, with Joe Russo himself confirming a Spring 2025 start in a Collider interview. With a five-month shoot planned, the Russo Brothers are poised to deliver another MCU masterpiece.

Who’s Directing Avengers: Doomsday?

The Russo Brothers, Joe and Anthony, are back at the helm, bringing their Infinity War and Endgame expertise to Doomsday and its sequel, Avengers: Secret Wars. Announced at San Diego Comic-Con 2024, their return—alongside their production company AGBO partnering with Marvel Studios—has fans buzzing. Known for juggling massive ensembles and jaw-dropping twists, the Russos are a perfect fit for this multiversal epic, especially with Robert Downey Jr.’s Doctor Doom looming large.

What’s the Cast Lineup for Avengers: Doomsday?

The cast is shaping up to be a blockbuster reunion. Robert Downey Jr. leads as Doctor Doom, a seismic shift from his Iron Man days, while Chris Evans is rumored to return—possibly not as Captain America but in a mysterious new role. Hayley Atwell’s Agent Carter is confirmed to join the fray, per Deadline, alongside Fantastic Four: First Steps stars Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach.

Anthony Mackie’s Captain America and the Thunderbolts* crew, including Yelena Belova and Bucky Barnes, are also locked in. Rumors swirl about Kelsey Grammer reprising Beast and even Ghost Rider debuting, though Benedict Cumberbatch has confirmed Doctor Strange will sit this one out, saving his magic for Secret Wars.

Where Will Avengers: Doomsday Be Filmed?

 highlight sets already completed and new IMAX cameras ready to capture every multiversal detail. The production company, For All Times Productions UK Limited, is steering the ship, ensuring this epic gets the grand treatment it deserves.

What’s the Plot of Avengers: Doomsday?

While Marvel’s keeping the story under wraps, speculation points to a multiversal clash with Doctor Doom at the center. Originally titled Avengers: The Kang Dynasty, the pivot to Doom followed Jonathan Majors’ exit, with Downey Jr.’s casting announced at SDCC 2024. Theories suggest ties to Endgame’s time-travel fallout or comics like Ultimate Comics: Doomsday, where Doom threatens reality itself. The film’s slated to set up Secret Wars, promising a two-part saga that could redefine the MCU.

When Is Avengers: Doomsday Releasing?

Mark your calendars—Avengers: Doomsday hits theaters on May 1, 2026. With filming wrapping by August 2025, Marvel has nine months for post-production, keeping it on track barring any major hiccups. This release slots it as the first of two Avengers films, with Secret Wars following on May 7, 2027, capping off the Multiverse Saga with a bang.

How Will Avengers: Doomsday Impact the MCU?

This film could be a game-changer. With over 60 MCU heroes reportedly assembling (per MovieWeb), Doomsday might streamline the sprawling Multiverse Saga into a cohesive narrative. Fans on X debate whether its seven-year gap from Endgame builds anticipation or risks disconnect, but the Russo Brothers’ track record and Downey Jr.’s villainous turn suggest a bold reset. It’s also poised to address dangling threads like Eternals’ cliffhanger, setting the stage for a cosmic future.

Some Closing Thoughts:

Avengers: Doomsday is shaping up to be more than just another MCU installment—it’s a multiversal milestone that could redefine Marvel’s cinematic legacy. With production revving up, a stellar cast assembling, and the Russo Brothers steering the ship, anticipation is sky-high for May 2026. Whether you’re a die-hard fan or a casual viewer, this superhero epic promises twists, thrills, and a Doctor Doom unlike anything we’ve seen.
