by

Avengers: Doomsday has already begun for MCU fans, according to Joe Russo.

Marvel is currently finishing up work on Avengers: Doomsday, directed by Joe and Anthony Russo. The film is scheduled to hit US theaters later this year, and a follow-up movie, Avengers: Secret Wars, is planned for 2027.

Marvel has released four short trailers hinting at an upcoming major event. The trailers have each highlighted different heroes who will be involved: Chris Evans will return as Captain America, Chris Hemsworth’s Thor will appear, and we’ll see some of the X-Men. The latest trailer focuses on Black Panther/Shuri, played by Letitia Wright, and Ben Grimm/The Thing, played by Ebon Moss-Bachrach, along with other characters.

What did Joe Russo say about Avengers: Doomsday?

In an interview with the Empire podcast, as reported by The Hollywood Reporter, Joe Russo hinted that the trailers for the ‘Avengers: Doomsday’ movie essentially kick off the catastrophic event for Marvel Cinematic Universe fans.

He explained that each trailer provides pieces of the story, and that all of those pieces together mean the central conflict, or ‘Doomsday,’ has already begun for the viewer.

It’s currently unclear what Joe Russo intended with his recent statement. However, the Russo brothers have made similar comments before. After the fourth trailer for Avengers: Doomsday was released, their official Instagram account explained that the videos weren’t just teasers or trailers, but rather parts of a larger story and hints about what’s to come, urging viewers to pay close attention. They used the hashtag #DoomsdayHasBegun.

Fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe think they’ve found a hidden pattern in the trailers for ‘Doomsday’ that points to key moments in ‘Avengers: Endgame’. It’s currently unknown if this was a deliberate move by Marvel or simply a random occurrence.

The next major Avengers movie, titled ‘Doomsday’, is scheduled to release on December 18, 2026, as part of the sixth phase of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Following that, ‘Secret Wars’ is planned for release on December 17, 2027.
