'Thunderbolts*' Wyatt Russell Has 'No Clue' What He's Doing in 'Avengers: Doomsday'
Considering the immense amount of star power expected to be featured in the 2026 film Avengers: Doomsday, it's no surprise that some big names are still awaiting word on where their characters fit.
However, for Wyatt Russell, one of the stars of the popular recently released film Thunderbolts*, most wouldn't expect him to be among those still in the dark. While Marvel continues its focus on keeping virtually everything about their films quiet to avoid revealing spoilers, it sounds like Russell is still waiting to receive information on all those top-secret storylines.
During an interview on Driven hosted by Andrew Freund, Russell admitted that he's entirely in the dark, hasn't read a script and has "no idea" what he's doing in Avengers: Doomsday.
"I, honest to God, don't know what I'm doing. I have no clue, I have not read a script," Russell said. "I could die in the first five minutes, I don't know."
Russell added that he's "beyond excited" and "honored" to be a part of that aspect of the MCU.
Russell who stars in Thunderbolts* alongside Florence Pugh, Sebastian Stan, David Harbour, Hannah John-Kamen, Lewis Pullman, Olga Kurylenko and Julia Louis-Dreyfus, was a key part of the movie's immediate popularity.
It currently boasts a critic score of 88% on Rotten Tomatoes with a 94% rating on the Popcornmeter out of more than 10,000 total reviews.

Frank Grillo Talks About Why His DC Character Has Been So Much More Fulfilling Than His Marvel Role Ever Was — GeekTyrant
Frank Grillo is one of the few in the club of those who have played characters in both the DC and Marvel Universes. He played Brock Rumlow, a.k.a. Crossbones, in the Marvel movies Captain America: The Winter Soldier (2014) and Captain America: Civil War (2016). He returned to voice the character in the series What If…? , and appeared in Avengers: Endgame . Though his appearance was brief, he's kept himself busy in other franchises, namely DC, and he's a lot happier with this arc over there than he ever was at Marvel. During a recent appearance on the Tulsa King panel at Fan Expo Dallas, moderated and hosted by ScreenRant, Grillo looked back on his time with the MCU, while sharing why he is having a better time being part of the DCU franchise. After discussing the MCU's Crossbones, Grillo explained what the upside is to playing a character like Flag Sr. in the DCU while working together with James Gunn: 'Rick Flag Sr... It was unfortunate because Crossbones isn't onscreen that much, and this is years ago. People love that character, and Marvel seems to have reused every other character except Crossbones. 'Now he's popping up in Spider-Man comics and Daredevil comics because he's a great villain, so I was expecting to have a lot of fun with it. But unfortunately, he perished kind of quickly. But I love working with James Gunn. ''I did the voice for Creature Commandos, and then I'm in Peacemaker, which is coming up in August. And before that, it's Superman with Rick Flag. So, it's different; it's more of an adventure than the Marvel stuff was.' Grillo's Flag Sr. makes his live-action debut with Superman in July, before returning in Peacemaker season 2.
