Actor Simu Liu, famous for his role in Shang-Chi, posts a backstage image from Avengers: Doomsday - however, Marvel is being tight-lipped about any secrets this time around
In the world of Marvel, excitement is building for the upcoming cinematic spectacle, Avengers: Doomsday. Set to release in cinemas on December 18, 2026, this highly-anticipated film promises to deliver an unforgettable experience for fans.
Leading the charge is Simu Liu, reprising his role as Shang-Chi, the Master of Kung Fu, last seen in his 2021 standalone film. The only indication that the picture is from a Marvel production is a tag on Liu's costume that says 'Shang-Chi'.
Joining Liu in Avengers: Doomsday is an impressive ensemble cast. Robert Downey Jr. will be playing Doctor Doom, while Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn, Florence Pugh, Sebastian Stan, David Harbour, Wyatt Russell, Chris Hemsworth, Anthony Mackie, Letitia Wright, Paul Rudd, Tom Hiddloton, and others are also set to appear.
The cast of Avengers: Doomsday includes the Fantastic Four, Thunderbolts, several X-Men legacy actors, and more. However, no new characters or plot details for the film have been revealed as of yet.
Recent social media posts have fuelled speculation about the potential involvement of the Fantastic Four in Avengers: Doomsday. Anthony and Joe Russo shared an image that looks suspiciously like a Fantastic Four tease of Reed Richards' chalkboard. Meanwhile, Simu Liu teased a little about Robert Downey Jr.'s upcoming performance as Doctor Doom.
Unfortunately, some fan favourites will not be joining the cast of Avengers: Doomsday. Hugh Jackman, known for his iconic role as Wolverine, had to pull out, and Tatiana Maslany, who plays She-Hulk, also had scheduling conflicts and could not appear.
Despite these withdrawals, fans are eagerly awaiting the release of Avengers: Doomsday. Simu Liu has expressed his excitement about working with Robert Downey Jr., praising his ability to connect with people and deliver impressive performances.
