Overview
- Directors Joe and Anthony Russo said late September that Avengers: Doomsday currently runs roughly 150 minutes and contains a “very surprising” ending, describing the film as a focused, propulsive narrative.
- Avengers: Endgame Encore added new scenes that the Russos say connect to Doomsday, including Loki appearing at Steve Rogers and Peggy Carter’s door, Doctor Doom collecting Bruce Banner, and a TVA sequence showing the multiverse collapsing.
- The Russos confirmed the film’s publicly listed cast is incomplete and said there will be additional unannounced cast surprises that Marvel is withholding to preserve reveals.
- Expanded ScreenX trailer frames show masked Latverian Witches standing with Doctor Doom and an X insider has circulated an unverified claim that Sue Storm will suspect the witches ‘radicalized’ Doom, a detail that should be treated as rumor.
- Multiple industry scoops now report Avengers: Secret Wars may not begin principal photography until November, a delay that could put pressure on Marvel to meet the currently planned December 2027 release and affect scheduling and postproduction timelines.
