Avengers, ASSEMBLE!
Netizens, comic fans, and just about everyone who enjoyed the Avengers franchise of the Marvel Cinematic Universe went berserk when Robert Downey Jr. showed himself as the face of Dr. Doom. He even shared on social media about the announcement and captioned the post with, “New mask, same task.” And, we’re not even mad because at this point, it’s safe to say that RDJ’s return might heal the slow decline of MCU. But, aside from that big news, Marvel also announced the working titles of the upcoming MCU franchise movies in 2026 and 2027.
Titled “Avengers: Doomsday,” this is set to be released in theaters in May 2026 while “Avengers: Secret Wars” will be hitting the big screen in May 2027.
In addition, Marvel also gave a confirmation on who will be included in the film such as the iconic new generation of the Fantastic Four, and of course, RDJ (formerly the dead Iron Man) who now will be playing a villain version, Dr. Doom. Netizens commented that RDJ was able to experience both sides of the coin wherein he died as a superhero and also, got to live long enough to become a villain; and we couldn’t agree more than 3,000!
And who else would be the best choice for the pair to direct both films? Well, it’s no other than the Russo Brothers! Anthony and Joe are both gearing up for the films and have expressed their excitement for the coming years.
Goodbye 20th Century Fox Universe, Hello MCU
In another entertainment update, Ryan Reynolds a.k.a Deadpool, posted on his Instagram account a farewell to 20th Century Fox in the wake of the success of his latest collaboration with Hugh Jackman in “Deadpool Vs Wolverine.”
Reynolds shared a photo of him with notable actors from X-Men and the Fantastic Four movie adaptations with the caption of, “This isn’t just Deadpool saying ‘Oh, Hello’ to the MCU. It’s Deadpool – and Hugh, Shawn, and me – saying farewell to a place and an era that literally made us. We are forever grateful to the fun, weird, uneven and risky world of 20th Century Fox. It was our origin story and we wouldn’t change it for anything. And thank you to Kevin Feige and Disney for allowing us to share it.”
