The Avengers have become more divided than ever following the events of Age of Ultron, Infinity War, and Endgame. Empire magazine has released new images of Pedro Pascal’s Mr. Fantastic, Simu Liu’s Shang-Chi, Florence Pugh’s Yelena Belova, and Anthony Mackie’s Captain America (Sam Wilson) from Marvel’s Avengers: Doomsday.
Speaking to Empire, Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige says the Avengers face incursions at a time when there is no organized Avengers team. In Doomsday, Sam Wilson’s Captain America has assembled an official Avengers team, which includes Captain America (Sam Wilson), Falcon (Joaquin Torres), Ant-Man, Thor, and Shang-Chi. Meanwhile, the Thunderbolts have formed the New Avengers, introduced by Val, with the following members: Yelena Belova, Bucky Barnes, Red Guardian, Ghost, John Walker, and Bob (Sentry).
Feige said, “We’re coming out of years of seemingly no organised Avengers team, and that’s exactly when they face these incursions.”
The Fantastic Four are from a separate universe, while the Fox-era X-Men also come from another universe. The Fantastic Four could play an important role in Avengers: Doomsday because they have a history with Doctor Doom (Robert Downey Jr.). Reed Richards shares a strong bond with Doom through their shared background in science and mathematics.
Pascal said, “They’re very bonded in a lot of different ways.” He added, “They’re bonded as scientists. They think together through the lens of science and math, and think in ways that most people don’t. You can’t help but create a bond of friendship and kinship, and feel less alone in the world because there is a mind that is equal, if not superior, to your own.”
Empire also revealed new looks at James Marsden’s Cyclops and Channing Tatum’s Gambit in Avengers: Doomsday.
After more than 25 years, several original X-Men characters will return in Marvel’s Avengers: Doomsday. Feige says bringing the X-Men and Avengers together has been a long-time dream.
Marsden describes Cyclops (Scott Summers) as a noble and good man who always tries to do the right thing. The events of Avengers: Doomsday will put Cyclops in situations where he must make difficult decisions. The multiverse-collapsing stakes of Doomsday mean there are no easy choices to make.
“It probably reveals quite a lot about your character, what you’re willing to do,” he teases. “And it’s not black and white. It has a lot of very serious, potentially catastrophic implications.”
Directed by Anthony and Joe Russo, the film is written by Michael Waldron, Stephen McFeely, Chris McKenna, and Erik Sommers, with additional writing credits going to Jeff Loveness, Andrew Lanham, Destin Daniel Cretton, Ryan Reynolds, and Hugh Jackman.
Here’s the synopsis for Avengers: Doomsday:
“Not since the Time Heist to undo Thanos’ Snap have this many champions teamed up to save the day. When it’s discovered that three universes are set on a deadly collision course, the heroes of those worlds — the Avengers, the New Avengers, the Wakandans, the Fantastic Four, and the X-Men — form new alliances to face an unprecedented catastrophe.
Not only must these groups unite, but individual legends must embark on journeys across the Multiverse with partners they have only just met. They must learn to trust each other and rely on the strengths of strangers at a time when nothing is certain — except the sky-high stakes.”
