Anthony Mackie is apparently on his way to begin filming "Avengers: Doomsday" in London and the "Twisted Metal" star appears to be teasing a very dark movie. In an Instagram story, via ComicBookMovie.com, Mackie posted a selfie from the inside of an airplane. He's wearing a "Powerpuff Girls" t-shirt, and he's chosen a very interesting filter. The filter is one that's made to look as if there's blood all over the screen. He captioned the story with, "And so it begins..."

Even without further context, Mackie seems to be implying we need to be ready for a good amount of bloodshed in "Avengers: Doomsday", but the bloody post seems particularly meaningful thanks to an interview Mackie took with Collider last week.

Asked how he felt after reading the script for 'Avengers: Doomsday,' Mackie answered, "You know what? I was really excited, man. It's one of those stories that really pushes the boundaries, and it — the cliffhanger at the end, you know, the last moments of the film — it really builds and sets us up for a way for the continuation of the Marvel saga, which is really exciting."
Mackie then added, "You see these characters, and you see how they're introduced and how they play in the universe moving forward, and no one is safe. Everyone is expendable."
So, from Mackie saying "everyone is expendable" to the star posting a picture of himself made to appear he's been sprayed with blood, it doesn't seem like much of a stretch to assume Mackie is hinting we need to brace ourselves for a lot of deaths in "Avengers: Doomsday".
Of course, this wouldn't make the film necessarily all that different from 2018's "Avengers: Infinity War," which ended with most of the MCU's heroes taken out by Thanos. Of course, most of those heroes would return in the 2019 follow-up, "Avengers: Endgame", though not all.
"Avengers: Doomsday" is scheduled to hit theaters May 1, 2026. It is directed by Anthony and Joe Russo. The film stars Chris Hemsworth, Vanessa Kirby, Anthony Mackie, Sebastian Stan, Letitia Wright, Paul Rudd, Wyatt Russell, Tenoch Huerta Mejia, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Simu Liu, Florence Pugh, Kelsey Grammer, Lewis Pullman, Danny Ramirez, Joseph Quinn, David Harbour, Winston Duke, Hannah John-Kamen, Tom Hiddleston, Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen, Alan Cumming, Rebecca Romijn, James Marsden, Channing Tatum, Pedro Pascal, and Robert Downey Jr.

Billy Ray Cyrus Makes Bold Statement About 'the One They Call…. My Girlfriend'
Billy Ray Cyrus Makes Bold Statement About 'the One They Call…. My Girlfriend' originally appeared on Parade. is opening up about his feelings about England, a music legend, and 'the one they call… my girlfriend.' The country star took to Instagram on Sunday, June 1 to share a photo of himself wearing shades and a green print open collared shirt and to share some thoughts about his 'great friend ,' music fans in the U.K. and . 🎬 SIGN UP for Parade's Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox 🎬 'Happy Sunday Callin!!!! Reminded this morning of my great friend Carl Perkins! Words he spoke to me. 'Take care of your fans in England 🏴 They love real music 🎵 and true artist who are unique…original … and not afraid of boundaries.' So true my friend. The inspiration here is unbelievable….. especially the one they call…. my girlfriend. Thank you 🙏🏼 @elizabethhurley1 for reminding me how great this country is. You would have loved Carl!!! From what you've shared he and your Daddy were very similar. Happy early Birthday 🎂 to your Daddy Bear 🐻 Ready ….Set …. Don't Go,' Cyrus wrote in the caption. Perkins, for those unfamiliar with the name, is a Rock and Roll Hall of Famer who had a huge influence on Elvis Presley and the Beatles. He wrote and was the first to record 'Blue Suede Shoes' and the Beatles covered his songs 'Honey Don't,' 'Matchbox' and 'Everybody's Trying to Be My Baby' (though there was some controversy over the origins of the latter song). Perkins died in 1998 at the age of 65. Perhaps more noteworthy than the reference to Perkins is Cyrus' mentions of Hurley, who the 'Achy Breaky Heart' singer has been linked to since Easter. She recently revealed that the couple will be in England together to celebrate her 60th birthday in June, and Cyrus' post confirms he is indeed in the approved of Cyrus' post, giving him props in the comments.

Your 1997 UK tour was an incredible time! Hope you're enjoying being on this side of the pond. Happy Sunday Callin'. Much love & admiration always 🇬🇧🎶❤️,' added another.
