“Avengers: Doomsday” is the upcoming fifth installment in the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s (MCU) Avengers series, scheduled for release on May 1, 2026.

Directed by Anthony and Joe Russo, who previously helmed “Avengers: Infinity War” and “Avengers: Endgame,” the film marks their return to the MCU.

A notable highlight is the casting of Robert Downey Jr. as Victor von Doom, also known as Doctor Doom, the film’s primary antagonist.

This casting choice is particularly intriguing, given Downey’s iconic portrayal of Tony Stark/Iron Man in earlier MCU phases.

“Avengers: Doomsday” is expected to unite a diverse ensemble of heroes, both familiar and new, to confront the formidable threat posed by Doctor Doom.

The film will feature the Fantastic Four, with Pedro Pascal as Reed Richards/Mister Fantastic, Vanessa Kirby as Sue Storm/Invisible Woman, Joseph Quinn as Johnny Storm/Human Torch, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach as Ben Grimm/The Thing.

The storyline is anticipated to draw inspiration from significant Marvel Comics arcs, potentially including elements from the “Time Runs Out” and “Secret Wars” narratives, which involve multiverse conflicts and substantial threats to reality.

As the MCU continues to expand its cinematic universe, “Avengers: Doomsday” is poised to be a pivotal chapter, blending nostalgia with new narratives and setting the stage for future developments.
