Matt Shakman On Being Able To 'Pass The Baton' To The Russo Brothers For ‘Avengers: Doomsday' With ‘The Fantastic Four: First Steps'
With the fourth attempt to immortalize Marvel's First Family on the silver screen and the official launch of the MCU's Phase Six, The Fantastic Four: First Steps helmer Matt Shakman said the latest entry serves to tee up further exciting releases from the juggernaut studio. The director spoke to Deadline on the blue carpet for the world premiere of the superhero movie, starring Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn and Ebon Moss-Bachrach in the iconic roles, and how the Russo brothers factored in. More from Deadline Kevin Feige On Fixing Superhero Fatigue & How James Gunn Gave Marvel Props For 'Superman' Marvel Boss Kevin Feige On His Future At The Studio, 'Blade' Update & Why 'Fantastic Four' Needed A Reboot 'Fantastic Four' First Reactions Praise "Immaculate" VFX & "Pitch-Perfect Script": "One Of The Best Things Marvel Has Ever Made" 'They were very curious about what we were doing, they came to tour our sets, they would watch scenes that we were cutting together, they wanted to get to know these people as they were working on their story and their script, so that I could pass the baton to them and these characters would be well cared for,' Shakman said of Anthony and Joe Russo, who will helm 2026's much-hyped Avengers: Doomsday. #TheFantasticFour director Matt Shakman on passing the baton to Anthony and Joe Russo for 'Avengers: Doomsday' — Deadline (@DEADLINE) July 22, 2025 Releasing July 25 theatrically, the retrofuturistic take on the storied Marvel characters will take place in an alternate history/parallel universe exploring Reed Richards/Mister Fantastic, Sue Storm/Invisible Woman, Johnny Storm/Human Torch and Ben Grimm/The Thing as they take on Galactus (Ralph Ineson) and Shalla-Bal (Julia Garner). Shakman said the film is equally influenced by the likes of comic book creator Jack Kirby's original vision and Stanley Kubrick's '60s epic sci-fi film 2001: A Space Odyssey. For his part, star Ineson said of Doomsday: 'I have no idea what Kevin Feige and everybody have planned, but I worked with Robert [Downey Jr.] a few years ago on Dolittle for a few days, and he's an absolute gentleman and amazing actor, so I loved having the chance to work with him and watch him work, so, yeah, if I got the chance to team up with him again, of course I would.' Ralph Ineson shares his thoughts on Galactus x Doctor Doom — Deadline (@DEADLINE) July 22, 2025 Having been recently bogged down with box office failures, the MCU is looking to retool its approach to theatrical and series releases, Kevin Feige told reporters last week. Last month, Ironheart executive producer Ryan Coogler also teed up how the series would connect to future Marvel Studios plans with Doomsday, which is currently in production now. Though much is under wraps about the film — centering on supervillain and Fantastic Four arch nemesis Dr. Doom (Downey Jr.) — confirmed cast members include Chris Hemsworth, Anthony Mackie, Sebastian Stan, Paul Rudd, Letitia Wright, Florence Pugh, Simu Liu, Tom Hiddleston, Wyatt Russell, David Harbour, Winston Duke, Danny Ramirez, Hannah John-Kamen, Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen, Alan Cumming, Rebecca Romijn, James Marsden, Kelsey Grammer, Channing Tatum, Tenoch Huerta Mejía, Lewis Pullman and the quartet from First Steps.

THE FANTASTIC FOUR Cast Describe AVENGERS: DOOMSDAY as "Epic," "Tragic," and "Mental" — GeekTyrant
The next big thing for the MCU is the introduction of Marvel's first family in the upcoming film, The Fantastic Four: First Steps . This will hold us over for a year, film-wise, as the next movie on the slate is next summer's Spider-Man: Brand New Day . Each of these movies will lead into the next main event, Avengers: Doomsday , which is being compared to Avengers: Infinity War , the devastating start to what concluded in Avengers: Endgame . This too will be a two-parter, with the follow up, Avengers: Secret Wars (2027), completing the story. Knowing that the Russo Brothers are returning to helm these epic movies gives us some hope that these will be solid flicks, but The Fantastic Four cast has also chimed in on their feelings about Doomsday, as they have already spent some time on set and have gotten a feel for the movie. In a recent interview with BBC News, Ebon Moss-Bachrach (Ben Grimm/The Thing) and Joseph Quinn (Johnny Storm/Human Torch) were asked to describe the next big MCU event film in four words, and the responses were, "Epic, tragic, intergalactic, starry," and "epic, mental, Robert, Downey and Jr." This description sounds right. If the film is anything like Infinity War , it will certainly be epic and tragic. In a separate interview, Vanessa Kirby (Sue Storm/Invisible Woman) was asked how it felt to be a part of Doomsday' s sprawling ensemble cast. She responded, 'We're with all these guys that have done it for 18 years and it's just an amazing thing to be a part of. These guys have grown up together, they've had families, gone through life and they're still united in this tight family — and we're a new family coming into their family.' Finally, Pedro Pascal (Reed Richards/Mr. Fantastic) was asked to "blink twice" if former Captain America actor Chris Evans is appearing in either First Steps or Doomsday during an interview with a German outlet. 'Are you speaking English or German? I can't tell. I didn't understand a word he said. I've just gone into… a blackout.' Evans is not expected to show up in First Steps , but is rumored to be reprising his role as Steve Rogers in Doomsday . Avengers: Doomsday is set to arrive in theaters on December 18, 2026, and Avengers: Secret Wars is set for release on December 17, 2027.
