Marvel’s Avengers: Doomsday will reportedly be delayed from its original release date. The delay is due to Marvel Studios not yet deciding on the full cast. The film is currently set to release on May 1, 2026.
In the latest episode of THE HOT MIC, Jeff Sneider mentioned a rumor that Avengers: Doomsday might be delayed, even though they are reportedly set to begin filming back-to-back in London soon. The release date could be pushed back by a few months. There is also uncertainty about the cast, as they are still figuring out who will be in the movie. How can they start filming without a confirmed cast?
Sneider said, “I heard a rumor that Doomsday might be pushed—I think the release date could move to the next slot… They don’t know who’s in the movie—that’s what I heard.”
Sneider added, “I heard, ‘We still don’t know who’s ultimately going to be in this movie and who’s not—we don’t know who’s going to be available.’ I think they’re still figuring out what that ensemble looks like.”
Doomsday production is confirmed to begin in April 2025, with set construction already underway in London, UK. X user @UnBoxPHD recently shared an image of the Doomsday set currently being built.
Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter during the premiere of Netflix’s The Electric State, the Russo Brothers confirmed that Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars will be filmed “back-to-back” in London. They also said that the new Avengers films will surprise fans, as they have found a fresh and interesting way to tell the story.
Joe said, “These movies are going to be a surprise to people. We found a way into the story that’s very exciting to us … but very radical … we think it’s going to challenge audiences.” He added, “it’s challenging for us to execute. And it’s really exciting for us, it gets us out of bed to do it.”
The film will be directed by the Russo Brothers from a screenplay by Stephen McFeely.
Doomsday is a multiverse film because it serves as the conclusion of the Multiverse Saga. The plot follows Downey Jr.’s Doctor Doom, who isn’t truly evil; he believes he is trying to save the multiverse from incursions. In his twisted logic, the only way for the multiverse to survive is to unify all universes in one place—Battleworld—under his rule. He sees this as the sole path to ensuring survival for everyone.
In Avengers: Doomsday, Robert Downey Jr. will play the role of Doctor Doom, Chris Evans as an Nomad, Tom Holland as Spider-Man, Pedro Pascal as Reed Richards, Joseph Quinn as Johnny Storm, Wyatt Russell as US Agent, Vanessa Kirby as Sue Storm, Florence Pugh as Yelena Belova, David Harbour as Red Guardian, Sebastian Stan as Bucky Barnes/Winter Soldier, Anthony Mackie as Sam Wilson/Captain America, Ebon Moss-Bachrach as The Thing, Benedict Cumberbatch as Doctor Strange, Chris Hemsworth as Thor, Elizabeth Olsen as Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch, and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II as Wonder Man, Dafne Keen as Laura Kinney/X-23 and Kelsey Grammer as Hank McCoy/Beast, and Channing Tatum as Gambit.
Produced by Kevin Feige, Louis D’Esposito, and Russo Brothers will produce through their AGBO banner.
Right now, Avengers: Doomsday is scheduled to hit theaters on May 1, 2026. However, a possible change in the release date is expected.
