Avengers: Doomsday Will Reunite the MCU’s 2 Biggest Stars (Report)

by

Rumors suggest that *Avengers: Doomsday* will bring back two iconic actors from the original *Avengers* movies, which will be a huge treat for fans. This film is planned as the first of two *Avengers* movies that will wrap up the current storyline in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It’s expected to set the stage for a massive battle between Earth’s heroes and the villain Doctor Doom. Excitement is building, especially with Robert Downey Jr. returning to play Doom, going up against not only the Avengers but also the Fantastic Four and the X-Men.

Robert Downey Jr.’s appearance in the upcoming *Avengers: Doomsday* is surprising and exciting, especially since his character, Tony Stark, died a hero in *Avengers: Endgame*. With *Avengers 5* already being filmed, a source is suggesting we might see a reunion between two beloved characters from the Infinity Saga.

According to entertainment reporter Daniel Richtman, filming for the upcoming *Avengers: Doomsday* includes a scene set in the past featuring Peggy Carter, Steve Rogers, and Doctor Doom.

The upcoming movie, *Avengers: Doomsday*, is expected to bring Chris Evans and Robert Downey Jr. back together on screen. This will be their first time sharing scenes since *Avengers: Endgame* in 2019.

According to Deadline, Chris Evans is expected to return as Steve Rogers in the upcoming movie *Avengers: Doomsday*, reportedly taking on the persona of Nomad, as reported by Jeff Sneider.

Even though there were reports to the contrary, Chris Evans has stated he won’t be in *Avengers 5*, saying he’s “happily retired” from his role with Marvel.

That’s just not accurate. This keeps happening, actually – about every couple of years since the movie ‘Endgame’ came out. I’ve gotten used to it and don’t bother addressing it anymore. I’m perfectly fine with that – consider me retired from dealing with it!

Things are starting to come together, particularly after a new report revealed that *Avengers: Doomsday* will return to the timeline featuring Steve Rogers and Peggy Carter as seen at the end of *Endgame*. Apparently, the house from the final scene of *Endgame* has been rebuilt in Windsor Great Park for filming *Doomsday*.

Bringing Chris Evans and Robert Downey Jr. together again – this time as rivals – is sure to generate a lot of excitement for *Avengers: Doomsday*. It will be fascinating to see how their characters, Captain America and Doctor Doom, interact with each other.

There’s a rumor that Doctor Doom is hunting down people who caused incursions – breaches between different realities – in the Multiverse. Steve Rogers is likely on that list, as he traveled to another reality to be with Peggy Carter. This suggests a conflict between Doom and Rogers could be coming.

I’m so excited for *Avengers: Doomsday*! The cast list is absolutely massive – they’ve got 61 actors confirmed or rumored to be in it! Seriously, it’s packed with stars I love, like Robert Downey Jr., Chris Hemsworth, Florence Pugh, and even Pedro Pascal. Vanessa Kirby, Anthony Mackie, James Marsden, and Patrick Stewart are joining the fun too! It’s set to hit theaters on December 18, 2026, and I’ve already marked my calendar!

5 Other Probable MCU Pairings & Interactions in Avengers: Doomsday

Sam Wilson & Steve Rogers

Steve Rogers’ comeback in *Avengers: Doomsday* promises heartwarming reunions, and it’s possible the main version of the character will connect with Sam Wilson as the multiverse continues to unfold.

Although Chris Evans didn’t reprise his role as Captain America in *Captain America: Brave New World*, it will be exciting to see Sam Wilson and Steve Rogers team up against Doctor Doom with the rest of the Avengers. The movie will also finally reveal what Steve has been doing since he retired.

Thor & Loki

Both Chris Hemsworth as Thor and Tom Hiddleston as Loki will be in the upcoming *Avengers: Doomsday* movie. Fans can expect the two characters to share scenes together, continuing their storyline from *Avengers: Infinity War*, where Loki hinted at a future reunion.

It’s unclear how Thor and Loki will get along, but many believe Thor will defend Loki-now responsible for guarding the Multiverse at the end of time-from Doctor Doom. This could lead to a fierce battle between Thor and Doctor Doom, as portrayed by Robert Downey Jr.

Reed Richards & Doom

The long-standing conflict between Reed Richards (Mr. Fantastic) and Doctor Doom will continue in the upcoming movie, *Avengers: Doomsday*. Pedro Pascal, who plays Reed Richards, will face off against Robert Downey Jr.’s portrayal of Doctor Doom.

The ending of *The Fantastic Four: First Steps* hinted at a future conflict between Reed Richards and Doctor Doom. This is because the villain, Doomsday, seems determined to capture Franklin Richards, likely to use him for a dangerous plan involving the Multiverse.

Reed is determined to safeguard his son – and the entire Multiverse – from Doom, and he’s fortunate to have powerful allies helping him.

Bucky & Steve Rogers

Beyond seeing Sam Wilson again, Steve Rogers’ appearance in *Avengers: Doomsday* could also mean a reunion with his old friend, Bucky Barnes.

Now that Bucky is with the New Avengers, Steve would be incredibly proud, and their reunion would be a truly touching scene if it makes it into the *Doomsday* movie.

Namor & Sue Storm

In Marvel comics, Namor is attracted to Sue Storm, which causes conflict with her husband, Reed Richards.

Now that we know all three characters will be in *Avengers: Doomsday*, we might get to see some interesting dynamics between them on screen, which could then influence the direction of the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s future stories.
