Avengers: Doomsday’s Script Has an Unprecedented Marvel Disney+ Tie-In

by

The next Avengers movie, currently titled *Doomsday*, is poised to be a major event for the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and will have a direct connection to the story of *Loki*. While Tom Hiddleston’s return was already known, the new script goes even further, expanding on plotlines established in the Disney+ *Loki* series. This connection is exciting fans, as it offers clues about the direction of the *Doomsday* storyline, based on what the writer has done previously.

Michael Waldron is making Marvel history by becoming the first writer from a Disney+ Marvel series to write a full-length Avengers movie. He’s best known for creating the popular series *Loki* and played a key role in building the foundation for Marvel’s Multiverse Saga. Now, he’s bringing his skills to the big screen with the upcoming film, *Avengers: Doomsday*.

His previous work on *The Void* and the Time Variance Authority (TVA) is now appearing in movies, as seen with the connection between *Deadpool & Wolverine* and *Loki*.

I was relieved to hear from a recent ScreenRant interview that Michael Waldron is *still* working on the script! There were rumors he’d left the project, but he confirmed he’s actively writing alongside Stephen McFeely, even flying back and forth from London during filming. That’s dedication, and honestly, it makes me feel a lot better about where this movie is headed.

Production on *Doomsday* is on track for its planned release on December 18, 2026, with Pedro Pascal, who plays Mr. Fantastic, having finished filming his parts for the movie.

Waldron’s ongoing involvement is important, considering the foundation laid by *Loki* regarding the multiverse will probably be central to the evolving story of *Doomsday*.

Waldron’s work on *Avengers: Doomsday* is a first for Marvel Studios. He’s the first writer, other than the established team of Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely, to significantly contribute to a film directed by the Russo brothers. Notably, only Stephen McFeely of that writing duo returned for *Doomsday*.

Anthony and Joe Russo, the directors of Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame, have frequently worked with screenwriters Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely. Markus and McFeely have written the scripts for all four of the Russo brothers’ previous Marvel Cinematic Universe films.

Bringing Waldron on board is unusual, as the team creating these stories is typically small. However, his work on *Loki*—which has done the most to explain the idea of alternate realities and different versions of characters within the Marvel Cinematic Universe—likely made him a valuable addition.

As a huge fan, I’m really excited to hear Waldron is now part of the writing team! It definitely feels like this means we’ll be seeing even more of Hiddleston’s Loki, and honestly, I’m here for it!

How Does Loki Play into Avengers 5?

Now that Tom Hiddleston’s Loki has become the God of Stories in Season 2 of *Loki*, he’s expected to have a major role in the upcoming *Avengers: Doomsday* movie.

I’ve been watching Loki, and it’s incredible to see how much power he wields now. Seriously, as someone who manages all of time and reality, he’s become a huge force – the kind that would definitely get the attention of someone like Doctor Doom, especially the version Robert Downey Jr. could play. It’s just fascinating to think about!

If rumors are true and Doom tries to take control of the multiverse, Loki will likely become a target, leading to a dangerous showdown. This clash will be more than just a physical fight – it’ll be a battle of intelligence between two of Marvel’s most strategic and clever characters.

Loki’s return creates opportunities for powerful emotional scenes, especially a much-anticipated reunion with Thor. Seeing this new version of Loki – older, changed, and possibly more caring – connect with his brother again after the original Loki’s death in *Infinity War* could be a particularly moving moment in the film.

Beyond being a teammate, he’s essentially a protector of the universe, and the Avengers might rely on him to maintain the stability of reality itself.

Tom Hiddleston has hinted at a fresh take on Loki, suggesting this version will be more powerful and see the world in a completely new way. This could significantly impact the future of the *Avengers: Doomsday* storyline.
