Earth’s Mightiest Heroes—and possibly some unexpected faces—are assembling once again. According to The Wrap, Avengers: Doomsday is officially gearing up for production, with principal photography slated to begin in England in March 2025. But the real buzz isn’t just about cameras rolling—it’s about who’s stepping behind (and in front of) them.

Marvel veterans Joe and Anthony Russo are returning to the director’s chair for the fifth Avengers installment, alongside longtime collaborator Stephen McFeely, who’s penning the screenplay. The trio, known for their game-changing work on Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Avengers: Infinity War, and Avengers: Endgame, are once again tasked with steering the MCU’s biggest crossover event. But if the latest reports are true, Doomsday isn’t just an Avengers flick—it’s a seismic shift for the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Perhaps the most jaw-dropping revelation is that Robert Downey Jr. isn’t reprising his role as Tony Stark—he’s reportedly stepping into the cloak of Doctor Doom. That’s right, the former Iron Man is said to be donning the mask of Marvel’s most infamous villain. The move would mark a massive reinvention for both the actor and the character, as Doom’s presence suggests a deep dive into the multiverse, dark magic, and potentially, world-ending stakes.

And he might not be alone. Strong rumors suggest Avengers: Doomsday could see Elizabeth Olsen’s Scarlet Witch playing a major role—possibly even as Doom’s love interest. Given Wanda Maximoff’s recent brush with dark magic in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, this could be a dangerous (and thrilling) pairing that redefines both characters.

X-Men, Spider-Man, and… the Original Avengers?

As if that weren’t enough, the rumor mill is churning out some major speculation. With Avengers: Secret Wars already confirmed as the follow-up to Doomsday, fans are bracing for some high-profile returns. Whispers suggest the X-Men could make their long-awaited MCU debut, but that’s not even the wildest claim.

Could Chris Evans be back as Steve Rogers? Is Scarlett Johansson’s Black Widow making a miraculous return? And is Tom Holland swinging into the madness before Secret Wars? All three actors are rumored to be in the mix—though whether they’re appearing in Doomsday or Secret Wars remains to be seen. With the multiverse in full swing, Marvel has plenty of opportunities to pull from past iterations of beloved characters.

For now, all eyes are on England, where Avengers: Doomsday will begin its march toward cinematic domination. One thing’s for sure: the MCU is about to change forever.
