A leaked set photo from Avengers: Doomsday just dropped, and it’s already sending the Marvel fandom into a frenzy. Spotted together for the first time are Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Danny Ramirez, and Wyatt Russell, all suited up and ready for action. The trio stands side by side on what appears to be a high-tech ship or lab, setting the tone for a multiversal collision.
Moss-Bachrach is rocking a motion-capture suit as Ben Grimm aka The Thing, Ramirez is seen in his updated Falcon costume last seen in Captain America: Brave New World, and Russell leans over a console as the U.S. Agent, looking just as intense as we remember him.
Eagle-eyed fans even noticed a glimpse of Shuri’s boot, suggesting even more crossover chaos is in store.
Each of these characters brings serious weight to the MCU’s next chapter. Moss-Bachrach’s Ben Grimm will make his debut in the upcoming Fantastic Four: First Steps film, where he’ll transform into the rocky, powerhouse heart of the team. His next confirmed appearance is in Avengers: Doomsday, likely followed by Secret Wars.
Ramirez’s Joaquin Torres, who became the new Falcon after Sam Wilson took up the Captain America mantle, was last seen in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier and also appeared in Brave New World. As for Wyatt Russell’s John Walker, the disgraced former Captain America turned U.S. Agent made his last major move in Thunderbolts* and seems to be walking a fine line between redemption and chaos.
More details about Avengers: Doomday
Avengers: Doomsday is shaping up to be Marvel Studios’ most ambitious crossover yet, and honestly? It might just break the multiverse. Directed by the Russo brothers, who return to the franchise after the success of Infinity War and Endgame, the film is slated for release on December 18, 2026. Screenwriting duties are split between Loki's Michael Waldron and Endgame's Stephen McFeely, so expect high-stakes chaos mixed with tight emotional beats.
Filming reportedly began in April 2025, with sets spotted at Pinewood Studios and overseas locations like Bahrain. The cast list reads like a dream: the Avengers, the new Thunderbolts* team, who have been rebranded as the New Avengers, the Fantastic Four, Wakandan heroes, and, in a massive surprise, the original X-Men cast, yes, we’re talking Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen, Famke Janssen, and more.
But the biggest element is perhaps that Robert Downey Jr. is back. Not as Tony Stark, but as Doctor Doom. Marvel is going full wildcard, casting its most iconic hero as one of its most terrifying villains. The multiverse logic allows for it and the fandom is absolutely onboard.
The film’s tone, according to Anthony Mackie, leans into the “old Marvel feeling” of tight ensemble dynamics, real stakes, and a huge emotional core. And with the Russo brothers steering the ship again, there’s real hope Avengers: Doomsday won’t just be a spectacle, but a course correction for the MCU heading into Secret Wars in 2027.
More details on Avengers: Doomsday are awaited for now.
