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.

Marvel Studios has decided to sever ties with actor Jonathan Majors, best known for portraying Kang the Conqueror, following a verdict of misdemeanour assault and harassment in a recent domestic violence case involving him. Once Majors was found guilty on these two counts on December 18, Marvel confirmed to Deadline that they would not continue working with the actor.

Marvel Studios is considering bringing back the original Avengers cast, including Scarlet Johannson's “Black Widow” and Robert Downey Jr's “Iron Man”. Audiences saw the two fan-favourite characters perish in the 2019 film “Avengers: Endgame”.
