The San Diego Comic-Con 2024 has been a turning point for Marvel Studios. The production company responsible for bringing Earth’s mightiest superheroes to the big screen has surprised with all kinds of announcements that have made it clear that Marvel’s glorious moment is back. But, among all those announcements, there is one that has overshadowed the rest: the movie Avengers: Doomsday.
Doctor Doom, the great villain of the Fantastic Four and by extension of the Avengers, will be the antagonist in the next big movie of the superhero group. And his actor will be none other than Robert Downey Jr. Yes, the same one who was Iron Man will now take on the role of Doom… probably as a version from another universe. The announcement has caught many by surprise, but there is much more to know about this movie.

What will Avengers: Doomsday be about?
Although the plot of Avengers: Doomsday remains a great mystery, we have a series of clues that we can put together. First of all, we know that it is a film that will serve as the culmination of the Multiverse saga, so it is almost certain that the merging of universes will be of great importance.
On the other hand, we also know that it will be the preamble to Avengers: Secret Wars and the continuation of Fantastic Four. What does this mean? Well, just like Infinity War, it is very likely that they will leave us with a big cliffhanger and it will be a movie full of different perspectives.

Who will direct Avengers: Doomsday?
Aside from the return of Robert Downey Jr., the most notable news from San Diego Comic-Con is that the Russo Brothers, the directors of Avengers: Infinity War and Endgame, will be directing Avengers: Doomsday and, also, Secret Wars.
Who will appear in Avengers: Doomsday?
We still have no idea who will appear in the movie, and given what we’ve seen, anything is possible. What is clear is that the characters that have been appearing in this latest phase of Marvel Studios will have their place, as well as the Fantastic Four, who seem to be quite prominent.

When will Avengers: Doomsday be released?
The release date of Avengers: Doomsday is scheduled for May 1, 2026.
