Overview

  • He says he is very reserved about details after an offhand comment about a new costume was amplified from a rooftop interview at the Empire State Building.
  • Liu notes filming Doomsday was different because he stepped back from executive-producing and embraced being part of a larger tapestry.
  • Marvel has dated Avengers: Doomsday for December 18, 2026, with further plot and character specifics yet to be revealed.
  • Recent reporting from a Disney marketing event implies Shang-Chi is on Sam Wilson’s Avengers team, while a standalone Shang-Chi sequel remains unannounced.
