Captain America Star Anthony Mackie Gives Big Update On Avengers: Doomsday
Avengers: Doomsday will likely follow the Avengers, the New Avengers, the Fantastic Four and the X-Men as they desperately try to stop Doctor Doom. 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." 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."

The Marvel actor has revealed how he and Stephanie Beatriz hit the right tone on their dark, post-apocalyptic action comedy – explaining that he left it up to the Brooklyn Nine-Nine alum to curate the jokes. 'I would always go to her and say, 'Stephanie, is this funny?' And if she said, 'Yes', we'd keep it'. If she said 'No', we'd trash it,' Mackie, who is both lead actor and executive producer of the series, told ahead of season two's release. 'I think the biggest lesson I learned from Stephanie on set is just to be honest … it's not trying to be funny or trying to make something out of nothing. It's really just letting that character be real.' Mackie as John Doe in Twisted Metal. Picture: Stan Beatriz plays Quiet. Picture: Stan Season one of Twisted Metal, based on the hugely popular nineties PlayStation video game, premiered in July 2023 and follows the story of a talkative milkman with amnesia, John Doe (Mackie), who is tasked with journeying across a post-apocalyptic wasteland to deliver a mysterious package while facing ruthless marauders.

Mackie added: 'Just being in a car and somebody just ripping the road to pieces, and all you can do is just hold on … It's a lot of fun.'

Anthony Mackie welcomes Robert Downey Jr.'s MCU return as Doctor Doom
Robert Downey Jr.'s return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe has been confirmed, but not as Iron Man—this time, he's stepping into the villainous role of Doctor Doom in Avengers: Doomsday. The shocking twist has sparked major buzz, and co-star Anthony Mackie has now weighed in. Mackie, who now leads the Avengers as Captain America following the events of Captain America: Brave New World, addressed the casting in a recent interview with Entertainment Tonight. He described Downey Jr. as "an integral part" of his early Marvel career and expressed excitement about working with him again. "You know, the fun part is Robert Downey Jr. was such an integral part of the beginning of my career at Marvel," Mackie said. "It's great to have him back and continue the legacy he built with the MCU." Mackie and Downey Jr. previously shared screen time in films like Avengers: Age of Ultron and Captain America: Civil War, though their characters rarely interacted directly. Now, with Mackie's Captain America assembling a new Avengers team, the stakes are higher than ever—especially as they face off against Downey Jr.'s Doctor Doom. Downey's cryptic 'New mask, same task' line during his villain reveal hints at a thematic continuation of Iron Man's legacy through Doom. The movie is set to release on December 18, 2026, and marks the first time Downey Jr. and Mackie will reunite onscreen since Avengers: Endgame. As anticipation builds for Avengers: Doomsday, fans are eager to see how this new chapter reshapes the MCU's power dynamics.
