Marvel Studios has officially announced the ensemble cast for “Avengers: Doomsday”, helmed by the dynamic directing duo Joe and Anthony Russo. The cinematic juggernaut is set to hit theatres on May 1, 2026, with its direct follow-up, “Avengers: Secret Wars”, arriving a year later on May 7, 2027.

During the global debut of Netflix’s “The Electric State” at The Egyptian Theatre Hollywood in Los Angeles, its directors Joe and Anthony Russo spoke with Deadline about the highly anticipated Marvel films “Avengers: Doomsday” and “Avengers: Secret Wars”, which are set for release in 2026 and 2027, respectively.

Chris Evans is reportedly making a return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) in the upcoming “Avengers: Doomsday,” directed by Joe and Anthony Russo.

Robert Downey Jr famously brought the iconic Marvel character Iron Man to life from 2008 to 2019, a role that concluded with Tony Stark’s emotional on-screen farewell in “Avengers: Endgame”. However, Downey has a sharp stance on any future attempts to resurrect his portrayal through artificial intelligence (AI).
