I guess Feige figured out how to solve the Kang problem. It's an interesting gamble to cast RDJ as a villain but after Oppenheimer, I won't bet against him.

I cannot believe why Robert Downey Jr. is going from playing Iron Man to playing Doctor Doom in this Avengers movie because this is a huge shock to fans of The Avengers movies. My mom has been a Robert Downey Jr. fan for a long time and she has always liked Robert as Iron Man so seeing Robert Downey Jr. as Doctor Doom is strange. I wonder if they will have a new actor playing Iron Man in Avengers Doomsday? And what about Hawkeye and Vision? Are they even gonna be in Avengers Doomsday with a new actor in the Hawkeye role and I can bet Paul Bettany will return as Vision for this movie. I can bet Avengers Doomsday will fail when it opens in theaters in 2026 due to Robert Downey Jr. as Doctor Doom

Well it certainly won’t be an attempt to lower budget costs. The Russo’s apparently have a deal for $80M to direct both movies and RDJ hasn’t exactly come cheap in Marvel films and is reportedly getting $100M to possibly do both Doomsday and Secret Wars.

Avengers: Doomsday is Officially in Production. Marvel doing a video reveal of casting with chairs for the actors.

This is a little too drawn out. Don't think we need 15 minutes between announcements. The last one will either be Chris Evans or Ryan Reynolds.

Yep, just roll through it and give each cast member a moment and music and move on.

At this rate, the full cast won't be announced till 5pm today. Also, bit of a spoiler for Thunderbolts if certain cast members are announced and others aren't.

Taking a look here and there and boy there are a lot of chairs.

I'm shopping for Marvel furniture right now. Kevin Feige has me hooked to buy uncomfortable seating!

And it’s finally over.

Pushed to Christmas 2026. Hmm. Could be the best thing since it seemed very rushed to have this done by May 2026.

Makes sense to also have a Spider-Man film be a lead in to Doomsday

Interesting decision.

So, right now, it is going to be threaded right between Jumanji 3 (I think?) and Dune : Messiah. Those are fairly similar audiences, more so the Dune audience. And, it will be released within the same week as Shrek 5 (I think?).

Wasn't a Star Wars movie slated for next Christmas? I must be missing something there.

Honestly, as of right now, I'm waaaaay more excited for another Dune movie.

They just haven't announced it, but that Star Wars movie has been delayed until 2045. I mean, that'll be the next time they actually get one done.

Mando will at least actually happen May 2026, and also benefits from the Avengers moving out of the month.

Starfighter for 2027.. we shall see if that holds.

Everything else Star Wars, TBA or never.

 

[HokieRaven5]

The originally scheduled December 2026 Star Wars film was pulled in 2024 for Ice Age 6.

November Marvel releases for 2026/2027 have been pulled in favor of moving Doomsday and Secret Wars
