Everything you need to know about the big Marvel event

Six years later Endgame And its undisputed success at the world box office, Marvel puts the cover with not one, but two films with the appearance of a dantesque meeting of the license superheroes. The short noise that 70 characters will be summoned For what Marvel willingly promote as A film with unique proportions On the big screen.

Kevin Feige makes it a point of honor to integrate such choral films into his outings calendar, aware that the public cannot resist the desire to find all the characters he loves in the cinema. To tell the truth, all the recent MCU proposals in the cinema seemed to have been thought of to prepare the ground before a dantesque confrontation in Doomsday…

Even before the project is called Doomsday And when Kang the Conqueror was still the big villain, this new film already passionate about crowds. After this 180 ° turn, and while many elements have been abandoned, there are still scraps that Kevin Feige intends to highlight to explain the confrontation that is prepared. We take stock of what we know and that we can expect from the film which must save the MCU.

Who is in the casting?

Marvel did not resist the temptation to deliver capital information during the San Diego Comic-Con of 2025. Indeed, Robert Downey Jr will return to the franchise to lend his features not to Tony Stark, but to Doctor Fatalis or Doctor Doom in the original version. An announcement that took place a year before the release of Fantastic 4: First steps And which confirmed the importance of Matt Shakman’s film for the license.

But since this announcement, which has surprised more than one, spectators had to be content to imagine those who, within an exploded Avengers team, would be recalled to fight it. It was finally with a live in March 2025, several hours and of an unnamed slowness, that they had the end of the story.

Filming chairs were arranged every ten minutes with the names of the actors and actresses in distribution. The event was opened with the formalization of the return of Chris Hemsworth, a emeritus member of the first Avengers team and which we have not seen in the cinema since Love & Thunder in 2023.

Then Marvel confirmed the importance of Thunderbolts* For his film by formalizing the participations of Sebastian Stan and Florence Pugh as well as Wyatt Russel. On the side of Black Panther, Letitia Wright will turn the costume and again cross the road to Namor. Unsurprisingly, the fantastic 4 will also be there. After all, Doctor Fatalis is an essential component of their mythology and the reciprocal is also true. Here is the list of actors announced in the film of the Russo brothers.

What story?

If you will have to wait a little to obtain a real synopsis, the recent MCU proposals have delivered crucial information on the starting point for this new film. First, the multiverse was presented in detail by the Loki series. After escaping the alertness of the Avengers in 2012, the Loki who attacked New York, not the one who sacrificed himself to save his brother in Infinity Waris found in the hands of an organization that works in the shadows to protect the main time line.

VAT, tribunal of temporal variations, seize those who deviate from the path traced by the “Sacred timeline”. After quantities of adventures, Loki will really open the doors of the multiverse and allow all branches to survive. He becomes the Guardian of the Multiverse and sacrifices himself to ensure the survival of all the alternative and main realities. He promises to be a central character in the next Avengers films, Tom Hiddleston’s participation has been confirmed.

At the same time, Sam Wilson seized Steve Rogers’s shield to become the new Captain America. In Brave New World, It appeared then that he planned to reform the Avengers with certain old and new allies. An Avengers team that lives in cohabitation with the New Avengers* De Bucky Barnes et Yelena Belova.

Thunderbolts* has indeed illustrated the creation of a new team of agents that the CIA director intended to sacrifice. In his post-key scene, Jake Schreier’s film showed the tensions between the two teams as much as the arrival of a strange vessel in the earth’s atmosphere.

Spectators know this are the fantastic 4 or at least their ship. The reason for their coming was nevertheless a mystery until last July and the broadcast of the post-key scene of 4 Fantastic: First steps. We will not have the details here – we evoke it in this article – but the sequence is crucial for the future of the MCU.

Initially promised to be released in April 2026, Avengers : Doomsday was a little delay. Filming is currently in full swing in England in studios, to limit spoilers. Last May, Kevin Feige formalized the new release date of the project. The meeting is now made for the December 16, 2026. Note that Secret Wars has also been delayed and that he must now invest the cinemas of the world in December 2027one year later Avengers 5. A format that is reminiscent of that adopted by the house of ideas for Infinity War et Endgame.

This approach was rather paying in both cases, the two films having respectively garnered 2 et 2.7 billion Dollars at the box office. Storage figures that Marvel hopes to surpass. The competition will be tough with the release of Dune: third part at the same period as Doomsday In 2026.

And after?

Avengers : Doomsday is the first act of an event that must close the multiverse saga. After Secret WarsKevin Feige wants to start a restart of her license and get rid of the rules that she has been following since 2008. It should be a question of making several universes and realities cohabited, several characters who have so far not been able to coexist. The marvel boss promised that it would not be a question of starting from scratch. Priority is first of all X-Men whose production must be launched soon.
