The Avengers are assembling once again next year - but one star will be noticeably absent. Marvel fans got their first look at Avengers: Doomsday on Wednesday (March 26th) when Marvel Studios shared a video across its social media platforms that declared the upcoming ensemble movie is "now in production" ahead of its scheduled release in May next year.

Marvel Studios spoiled Thunderbolts* by revealing most of the team will be in Avengers: Doomsday. Fans speculate Taskmaster won't survive Thunderbolts* based on trailer evidence. The decision to reveal cast members for Avengers: Doomsday could harm Thunderbolts* box office results.

Marvel Studios just pulled off its biggest livestream event ever with the announcement of its cast for Avengers: Doomsday . This was a five-hour-plus spectacle that drew in a massive 275 million digital views.

Following that massive Avengers announcement a few days ago, anticipation is high as the 2025 movie schedule will introduce The Fantastic Four: First Steps to the world, and that picture marks the start of Phase 6 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Robert Downey Jr. returns to the MCU with other confirmed actors including stars Chris Hemsworth and Tom Hiddleston, 'X-Men' stars like Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen, and a good chunk from the studio's 'Thunderbolts.

Everyone and their mother seems to have been cast in Christopher Nolan's first work since his wildly successful Oppenheimer which racked up 13 Academy Award nominations and seven victories including Best Picture and Best Director.
