The highly anticipated Marvel Cinematic Universe blockbuster "Avengers: Doomsday" is currently in production, according to Anthony Mackie, who portrays Sam Wilson, the new Captain America. In a recent interview with ScreenRant, Mackie revealed that filming is still "in the middle stages" and a considerable time away from wrapping. He jokingly described it as "a massive and complex production."
This film not only marks the return of Joe and Anthony Russo to direct an MCU project since 2019's "Avengers: Endgame," but it will also feature the comeback of several major characters, notably Robert Downey Jr. as the villain Doctor Doom, a casting choice that has sparked intense discussion.
Mackie remained tight-lipped about specific plot details but did reveal that his character's relationship with Sebastian Stan's Bucky Barnes, the Winter Soldier, remains tense in the film. He quipped, "I just talked to Sebastian yesterday, and we're still fighting. Seriously, we fight about everything."
This statement echoes the tease at the end of "Thunderbolts*," where Sam and Bucky showed clear disagreements about the future direction of the Avengers.
As the MCU undergoes a new phase of restructuring, with Yelena and her team identifying as the "New Avengers" and Sam assembling his own squad, this internal struggle for power and ideology is poised to become one of the central narrative cores of "Doomsday."
"Doomsday" is slated for release on December 18, 2026, leaving ample time for production. As the release date draws closer, fans will undoubtedly begin to anticipate the release of official stills and trailers. Given the high bar set by the Russo Brothers with "Endgame," whether this film can once again push the MCU to new heights remains to be seen, and fans are eagerly awaiting its arrival.
