Avengers: Doomsday gets update from Captain America star Anthony Mackie
Anthony Mackie has revealed the Avengers: Doomsday cast are still 'in the midst of it' and production is 'going well'. The 46-year-old actor is set to wield the shield as Captain America once again for the upcoming Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) blockbuster, and Mackie has now stressed that work on Avengers: Doomsday is ongoing. When Screen Rant asked the 8 Mile actor if Avengers: Doomsday was close to wrapping production, he said: 'No. Hell no. No, we are in the midst of it. 'I mean, it's such a big, moving set piece, and it's such a big story. The best part of shooting a Marvel movie is that it's always an ever-evolving canvas. There are those staple pieces, and then there are the pieces that circulate throughout the course of the shoot. 'So, we're in the midst of it, but it's going well.' Mackie also teased his Captain America would still be 'butting heads' with Sebastian Stan's James 'Bucky' Barnes in Avengers: Doomsday. He said: 'I talked to Sebastian yesterday. We're still butting heads. All we do is fight!' Avengers: Doomsday - which is due to hit screens on December 18, 2026 - will star Chris Hemsworth as Thor, Tom Hiddleston as Loki, Paul Rudd as Ant-Man, Florence Pugh as Yelena Belova, Wyatt Russell as U.S. Agent and Lewis Pullman as Sentry. The Fantastic Four will also play a big role in Avengers: Doomsday, with Pedro Pascal's Mr. Fantastic, Vanessa Kirby's Invisible Woman, Joseph Quinn's Human Torch and Ebon Moss-Bachrach's The Thing all confirmed to be returning for the movie. As well as the Avengers and the Fantastic Four, Avengers: Doomsday will see the return of many major X-Men stars, including Sir Patrick Stewart's Professor X, James Marsden's Cyclops, Rebecca Romijn's Mystique, Kelsey Grammer's Beast, Alan Cumming's Nightcrawler and Channing Tatum's Gambit. Although exact plot points about Avengers: Doomsday are unknown, the movie will likely follow the Avengers, the New Avengers, the Fantastic Four and the X-Men as they desperately try to stop Doctor Doom (Robert Downey Jr.) from carrying out his catastrophic plans for the Multiverse. Mackie - who most recently starred as the Star-Spangled Man in Captain America: Brave New World - teased Avengers: Doomsday would see 'a chaotic destruction of the world'. He told Extra: 'From my movie, we went out building on top of that to this just being a chaotic destruction of the world.' The actor also said Avengers: Doomsday - which is being directed by Joe and Anthony Russo - would be 'carrying over' the poignancy and depth of the last moments from 2019's Avengers: Endgame, in which Iron Man (Downey Jr.) sacrifices himself to save the universe, and Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) finally gets to lay down the shield and grow old with Peggy Carter (Hayley Atwell). He explained: 'When you look at the Marvel characters in the universe that we've created, there's an idealistic nature of the type of story you want and the type of you want coming from those films. 'I've said it before and I'll say it again, that last moment in Endgame was probably one of the most poignantly realistic moments in film history. That was a true Marvel moment. 'I don't think any other studio, any other directors, any other group of actors could have contextually put that moment together and made it that real. 'That being said, I think this is a lot of carrying over, feel, and depth of that moment coming into the new universe.'

Kevin Feige Says ‘Captain America: Brave New World' Suffered From No Chris Evans
Captain America: Brave New World A new quote from Marvel head Kevin Feige on the fate of one of the only not-great superhero movies of the year, Captain America: Brave New World, has sparked a whole lot of debate over the course of the past day. Feige, at a recent roundtable event, discussed the issues with Brave New World and said 'It was the first without Chris Evans' as a reason it struggled. Perhaps not the only reason, but the rationale is being described as 'blunt,' to day the least. He's not wrong. This is not to say that new star and new Captain America Anthony Mackie did anything wrong, but he had not been set-up to succeed in any capacity. First, he had his entire 'becoming Cap' journey shuffled into a Disney Plus series, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, that far fewer people would watch compared to a film. And as it turned out, it was actually better than his actual debut film. Second, mantle passing is just…incredibly difficult, especially in this case. Yes, this is something that happens in the comics eventually, but in the context of the MCU it's important to consider that Chris Evans' Steve Rogers was Cap 11 times over nine years. Sam only appeared as supporting character Falcon during that time, and only managed two appearances as the new Cap across five years (certainly Marvel's fault there). Captain America This would have happened with any role. If Jane Foster stuck around to become the new Thor in her own film, that would have underperformed past Thor movies. If She-Hulk (as a Hulk replacement) was a film, that would not have done well. If Ironheart (as an Iron Man replacement) was a film, that would not have done well. We just saw Yelena more or less sub in as the new Black Widow leading the Thunderbolts and that…did not do well, and that time the movie was even good. And if they actually made John Walker the real Captain America leading a whole film, I doubt it would have done any better than Brave New World. Feige is right. The movie suffered from not having Chris Evans, though that should not be taken as a knock against Mackie's performance. There were also plenty of other, very clear reasons the movie was bad as mainly, after awful editing and big reworks, it ended up being a baffling sequel to The Incredible Hulk, complete with the 'surprise climax' of President Ross turning into Red Hulk being the full-on marketing campaign, giving the film literally no dramatic tension. As it stands, it seems that Mackie's Sam Wilson is poised to be the new leader of the not-yet-really-reassembled Avengers, but once we get past Doomsday and Secret Wars, which will be a massive ensemble featuring Thor, Thunderbolts, the Fantastic Four and a bunch of X-Men, I do wonder what his actual future holds. We may not see him much after this, just like we haven't the last five years. Follow me on Twitter, YouTube, and Instagram. Pick up my sci-fi novels the Herokiller series and The Earthborn Trilogy.

Disney Stock Slides Despite Box Office Win
Disney (NYSE:DIS) shares slipped nearly 1% Friday despite The Fantastic Four: First Steps pulling in $118 million domestically and $220 million worldwide this opening weekend, on track to top its $300 million budget. The film matched analysts' estimates but missed a $130 million best?case projection, yet it remains the best?performing Marvel movie of 2025 and the highest?grossing non?sequel in six years. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 7 Warning Sign with DIS. Disney stock dipped 0.9% even as the company has seen box office boosts from Lilo & Stitch's $1 billion haul, Captain America's $415 million run and Thunderbolts' $382 million take, offsetting 2025 flops like Snow White and Elio. Year?to?date DIS is still up 8.4% and has climbed 31.8% over the past 12 months, showing investor faith in its content pipeline. Why it matters: When a clear hit fails to lift the stock, it underscores how much investors are balancing theatrical wins against streaming performance, park attendance and broader cost pressures. Investors will be watching Disney's upcoming quarterly update and next weekend's film releases for signs that hits can translate into sustainable share gains.

Gogglebox stars Roisin and Joe have confirmed they won't be returning to the Channel 4 show for the 26th series, as they shared an emotional statement with fans Gogglebox duo Roisin Kelly and Joe Kyle have been dropped from the Channel 4 programme following three years on the sofa, the beloved pair have announced in a heartfelt message. The couple made Gogglebox history as the first Scottish duo to feature on the programme back in February 2022. Roisin, 26, and Joe, 28, have now disclosed that they were "not asked back" by Channel 4 for the upcoming series and have been "dumped" by the show after nearly four years. Sharing the devastating news on TikTok, Roisin penned: "After three and a half years of sitting on the sofa channel 4 have decided it's time for Joe and I to stretch our legs and have not asked us back for season 26. Therefore we are leaving the Gogglebox family. We couldn't be more grateful to Studio Lambert for the opportunity, the experience has actually been so mad and we will miss watching tv with you all on Friday nights! It's been an honour to represent Scotland as some of the first Scottish people on the show and prove we don't actually need subtitles," reports the Mirror. The Daily Record has contacted Channel 4 for a response. Roisin continued by expressing gratitude to the programme's crew, revealing: "We have made friends for life and after filming every week for years you have become like our family! We could not have asked for better people to work with and we will miss you immensely." Following her appreciation to their supporters, she concluded: "It for sure has been a once in a lifetime opportunity. Time to watch tv in silence for a bit and put down the popcorn. Miss you already, Roisin and Joe x x x." Alongside the announcement, Roisin also posted a collection of memes they had created - including one featuring a screenshot from Toy Story where Channel 4 is portrayed as villain Sid and the pair are represented by Woody being cast aside. "I don't want to play with you anymore," Sid is depicted saying. Another image displayed a weeping child with the text: "Being dumped from gogglebox." Yet the following picture featured Captain America's Anthony Mackie in celebration mode with the message: "No longer having to adhere to a contract and can work with brands and companies." Supporters immediately inundated the comments section with messages of encouragement, with one posting: "Loved you and Joe on Gogglebox. Won't be the same without you." Another declared: "NOOOOOOOOOO I JUST FELL TO THE FLOOR IN ASDA." A third commented: "That's a real shame," whilst a fourth remarked: "Awww no! I will miss you guys flying the flag for Scotland." Gogglebox airs every Friday on Channel 4, from 9pm and can be streamed via MY4.
