By Kevin Feige has disclosed that Avengers: Doomsday is currently in production, while Thunderbolts actress Florence Pugh hints that she has already participated in the Marvel crossover.
“We officially commence on [April 28],” stated Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige during a Thunderbolts* press event attended by GamesRadar+ and various press members.
“Officially?” responded Pugh, who portrays Yelena in Thunderbolts. Feige then clarified, “That was a pre-photography day that you completed.”
“I consider myself fortunate,” Pugh remarked in return.
Pugh’s unawareness that filming hadn’t begun yet should not come as a shock to those following the news from the Doomsday’s chair reveal onward.
The confidentiality surrounding Avengers: Doomsday is so pronounced that some actors involved in the Marvel Phase 6 lineup haven’t received a script yet.
“I suspected I would be part of it, but I was unaware of who else was included,” said David Harbour, who reprises his role as Red Guardian in Thunderbolts*, told GamesRadar+. “I don’t possess a story, script, or anything similar.”
Featuring Robert Downey Jr. as Doctor Doom alongside numerous original Avengers, X-Men veterans, Thunderbolts*, and Fantastic Four members, Avengers: Doomsday marks the first of a one-two sequence that concludes the MCU’s Multiverse Saga.
Feige has emphasized that additional cast members will be part of the project alongside those already announced – with figures like Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine and Tatiana Maslany’s She-Hulk generating much speculation after withdrawing from events this summer due to ‘scheduling conflicts’.
Avengers: Doomsday is set to premiere in theaters on May 1, 2026. For more details, explore the rest of the upcoming Marvel films arriving soon. Then delve into the narrative so far with our guides on how to watch the Marvel films in sequence and the Marvel timeline.
